Can these lights be left outdoors (weather resistant?)

I purchased three sets last August and left them on the fences. We get all four seasons in NY. They are still working fine. About to purchase two more. Hope this helps.

Yes! Just look for the on/off button. I thought they were broken...being solar powered I thought they would just come on. NOT SO...you must turn them on!! They work great!

Yes, and I loved them; however, they only lasted about 4 months. They were really pretty when they worked

I don't know if these are weather proof. I have mine inside my garage but I do know they sell outdoor boxes to mount timers in.

Yes, if they have some kind of covering. I have 2 outside in a wooden box on the deck. I wouldn't put them where its exposed to the elements.

The top and bottom are open so the bulbs would be exposed. I don't think they should be used outdoors but technically they can

I used them outdoors and had no problem, but not for an extended time. I viewed them like Christmas lights, but I'm not sure what they are rated for. I tossed the boxes last year.

They are too delicate to withstand the outside elements. If outside at all they would need to at least be under a covered deck or patio. I put mine on the mantel in the spring and they look great!

Sorry, couldn't tell you. I have them inside my house. They don't appear to be weather resistant.

If you are going to use these outdoors, I'd recommend putting them in a waterproof enclosure. I use them quite a bit and when they get damp, LEDs fail.

Do you live where there is little rain? We are in the north east, and I bought these lights last summer. They still look great..after snow, rain, you name it, and of course we have not covered them. So no, I'd say it's not necessary at all. :-)

I have mine outdoors in Minnesota winter weather. The light tubes are sealed. I did put weatherproof protection on the power plug to keep it dry.

Yes. Mine have been outside for 3 months. The only modification I made was to upgrade the included rechargeable batteries with Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries. Lights are a great value. I would purchase again.

They are very weatherproof. They are heavier and sturdier than most other solar lights I have had.

I would say no. The individual LEDs of the bulb are exposed to the elements.

I use them in outdoor motion lights and they work fine. The lights are mounted up under the eaves a bit so they don't get direct rain.

This particular LED lights is not intended for outdoor use. There are some water proof LED outdoor lights available in the market.

I would say yes, provided the light bulb is protected from precipitation. I have mine underneath the eve of my house and they do fine. If it is out in the rain/snow, I don't know how it would hold up.

They seem to be very heavy duty, and are "commercial". So they may survive the winter. However, I am taking my in this fall and replacing w Christmas lights. They'll last longer that way.
