Is it okay to use this product during a thunderstorm?

It depends on if you want to build a storm shelter with it or not. Generally, if you want to use it in a thunderstorm, have as much fun as you could possibly have

I wouldn't use this product during a thunderstorm unless I was inside the house. Then, make sure you have at least one finger grounded to the dispenser with at least a 10 gauge copper wire wrapped around your thumb. Do not stick it where you might think, and do not rotate.

No, the thunder may scare you causing you to make a sudden movement which could cause your finger to poke through the paper and you may puncture something. I would highly recommend against wiping during a thunderstorm using this or any other toilet tissue.

Yes, I leave mine on in the rain and storms. In fact, we have trees and it helps keep some of the debris out.

The instruction sheet says: "Although the lamp may be used outdoors, it is not water-proof and should be stored in a clean, dry environment."So, I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, and definitely wouldn't want it to get rained on. High winds could also blow it over and perhaps roll it some distance, as well, which would likely damage it.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

You can use it while raining but you can not put it inside water. I haven't try but I guess you can not do it.

I don't think you will need anything like that. We live in Florida which has a lot of lightning strikes and power surges. Haven't had any problems. This is a good product.

Me personally, I will only use mine in an emergency situation. So mine is always dry. If i was you though, I'd follow the directions :)

So far I've had no issue - will say that when I've been at risk of a strong thunderstorm I've covered it with a contact wrap to help shield it (particularly so it doesn't run into the ports in case road vibration caused the rubber covers to come loose) - but that's probably me being ultra cautious versus the product requiring it.

I am not sure about the safety of that at all. I use it in dry area for a tortoise.

The cord is only about 5-6 feet long and not an outdoor style cord. I suppose you could use it for an evening outside as long as it was under some sort of supervision. The entire unit wouldn't be safe under any outdoor precipitation. Mainly for indoor use.

That would not be a problem. I would make sure it is in a weather proof box for the outlet.

Like all electrical appliances it would be unwise to subject the zapper to direct rain. Due to the high voltages generated within the zapper it could become live when wet.

It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited. I have been caught in the rain, with the light, and it worked perfectly. It's important to note that I was too aggressive with the rubber USB cover the second or third time I charged the light... and it popped off. My plan was to replace it - but I've been just too busy to get to that "C" list item. In spite of the exposed USB, the light re-charged flawlessly. This is a good value - several friends purchased the same light based on my experience and first hand observations. The charge lasts a long time and the unit is powerful, but not bulky. Good luck and be safe out there.

As long as it is kept in a dry place, there should not be any problem. Just be sure to close the container immediately after using.

I tried these when the weather in my area was not hot and for me they worked ok, I did not reorder them, but if you are concerned about the product being harmed I would not order them because I got another product from the same company it was hot outside and I noticed that the product did not work as well.

Yes, In any dry climate, static electricity is there and you should take all procautions to protect your equipment. Even worst if you have carpet in your room where your equipment is located.

If you mean "Is this cord rated for outdoor use", the answer is no. It should not be used in wet situations (ie, rain, snow, bathrooms) as it is not sealed for that and can pose a mean, nasty shock situation. You can use it outdoors (or anywhere else) if the surroundings are dry.
