Are these lights water proof. Can use them on out door stairs completely exposed to the elements?

Steve, Although the end where you insert the batteries is reasonably well sealed I would think that being complete exposed to the elements would kill the life of these quick. I wouldn't recommend these for outside.

I'd say water resistant. They tell you in the instructions to not point the lights upward toward the sky. So far, so good with my lights and they have been rained on many times! Installed them this past summer.

Thank you for asking!They are often used outside, however they are not designed to withstand rain or snow.Peg Schmidt, LED Lytes

I use them outdoors, but they are not directly exposed to rain. For example, I have one installed under the eves of the roof. Another one in a covered entryway. I don't think they are water proof or water resistant.

There is NO STATEMENT ON PACKAGE that they are for outdoors. Outdoor lights always say it is OK.My answer is INDOOR ONLY.

The package and user manual does not indicate anywhere that they are water proof, but they very slim, light work great and worth every penny. My guess that they are not water proof.

They definitely are weather proof. They have been outside under a deck for over a year (in Ohio weather conditions) with no issues to date.

They work outside with low voltage, however, in my situation,they are protected from direct contact with water. I suspect they would still work for low voltage lighting, even if they were occasionally wet

I have no idea if these are waterproof but I would suspect that they are not. They are bright enough to light something but I believe that I would bite the bullet and buy a light designed for underwater use.

Hi Jeannette. These speakers are designed for outdoor use and are water resistant, not water proof. When properly installed the speaker(s) can withstand light showers, or water and moisture contact, as well as direct sunlight.

I have mine outside, they are not a water tight fixture but they are well protected from the elements. I have not had any problems, they have been up for about 3 months. So far so good!!

Mine has been in a dooway outdoors where no water can reach it. Had it for 2 months and no problems so far. Very useful when visitors come to the front door. However, this light is not waterproof or even water resistant. If exposed to rain I am sure it will fail or get rusty.

I'm not sure these are actually rated for underwater or how to create a true waterproof connection. In my experience the manufacturing on these is not perfect. I had one recently fill with water just sitting in the garden for landscape lighting. The most it would have been exposed to was the sprinklers and a bit of rain. Otherwise, in my case, they mostly work well as landscape uplights.

The box states: "do not use where directly exposed to water". It also specifies that they should not be used in a completely enclosed fixture.I am sure you can find an LED replacement bulb someplace that is suitable for your landscape fixtures though.

I don' know if they are intended for outdoor use. However, I live near a beach and almost everything reacts to the humid and ocean spray conditions. After about 2 years these fixtures have held up very well.

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

As far as I can tell they are. This was the lighting recommended for an outside Christmas decoration and I have used it for the last couple of weeks and it has rained and so far no problem.
