How does it stand up to heavy rain?
471481
Here in PA we've had some very heavy rains and it held up just fine. Last year during Sandy a tree fell down in the back yard. We had to work for 45 minutes to move it away from the door. The light stayed lit thru the entire time in the middle of the storm. I'd say it works great in a heavy rain. No it did not come up for the rain only when we walked out into the back yard.

We have them on covered porches so I'm not sure. But they are nice and sturdy and made for the weather.

I live in FL and the lamp hasn't had any problems. We had enough rain in the year to end all drought conditions. The dawn to dusk setting still works perfect. And the light still adjusts with motion detector setting too.

My light is under a roof. It is not right out side. I am sorry I can not help. Colleen

I haven't had any problem with these units (5) they are protected by a 2 foot overhang of the roof. They work very well. Be careful with installation you need room to make connections in back of fixture.

Our Heath/Zenith porch light is mounted under a porch overhang, near the edge. It does not get directly rained on from above, but wind and rain conspiring together to get the lamp wet has not been any problem for us. Have had it up for less than six months so far, but quite pleased with it's operation. It's construction seems a little lightweight (especially compared to the heavy metal porch light that it replaced) and the light bulb and bulb socket are not weather sealed and are open to the elements on the underside. It might be advisable to mount this model under a porch overhang rather than in the open weather, if possible, for maximum longevity.

We've had the light since September and haven't had any problems with wind or rain. We've been very pleased with it, especially considering how inexpensive it is compared to other lights. Using a clear bulb makes the illumination brighter.

It has lasted through several storms here in Iowa without any issue. It's ok open in the wind/rain but I have kept it closed when I'm not using it.

We've had it for nearly a year with lots of rain and sun and seems it will last a few years. Still looks new. You just need some long stakes and ties to secure and support it.

I would say water repellant. I don't know that it will withstand pounding rain but a little drizzle I think it would be fine.

Its supposed to be. Haven't tested it on hard rain. Is at least water resistant.

I have used it in several heavy downpours here in Florida and while the back does get a little wet, the gear has always stayed dry. I wouldn't expect it to work in heavy rain for several hours, but it's stayed dry in heavy rain for up to an hour for me.

Mine has seen a lot of rain and seems to be holding up fine. It looks like it is powder coated and well made.

Ahh I know it will tolerate some rain, but it's not water proof. If you have it set to intake, it will suck a little bit of the rain in, but be ok.

It's sturdy... But here in AZ the only rain we get is monsoons and it wouldn't last thru that. Light rain/wind would be okay. But it folds really easily so when you're done using it you could just fold it and lean it against a wall.... Would be fine like that.

I have used it in breezy conditions (but not heavy winds) and it held up. However, the canopy is quite large and it catches the wind. It will be hard to manage in heavy winds. It is sturdier than most umbrellas sold today.

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.

It is great. Lasts through the rain. I Have taken it off when washing my car, otherwise it is great.

The cover is a canvas type material and there is a water resistant coating on it. Last rainstorm that came through it held up pretty good.

Mine has gone through numerous rains and storms and hasn't let any rain through. Love it.

I have not rode in heavy rain with it. But it has done great in light rain.

It def. Is! Ive ridden in very heavy rain and I have not had a single problem. As long as youre not physically dipping it in water, rain water is not an issue. And to top it off, I had a problem with mine a while back due to it not charging and amazon customer service was AMAZING. Product was replaced and sent to me in ONE day. Recommend you purchase!

it can resist rain to a certain extent, but cmon it has zippers so water can get in if you leave your bag in the rain for too long. But if I were youI wouldn't buy it because although it looks high quality, after months of usage the zippers and the fabric are exposed for their poor quality and aftera year the bag is torn all over from the straps to the zippers. It looks like a mess after 1 year. Trust me I bought mine and I used to loved it
