Is this spotlight waterproof?

Sorry to say that it is not waterproof. I bought this light for duck hunting, where we walk around in a flooded marsh. There is often drizzle, fog or rain. Thankfully, I have not tripped and caused the light to go underwater. Even so, it was getting fogged up inside the clear lens after each outing. I then applied silicone sealant around the clear lens and around the right and left aluminum heat exchangers. I also wrapped the front bezel assembly with tape, where the black bezel meets the gray body. This has prevented the light from fogging up! Hope this helps someone!

I suspect not, since if it were, it would likely be marketed as such. However it appears well sealed and is likely water "resistant," whatever that means. I have been very pleased with this light.

I do not believe it is waterproof since the sliding trigger has an opening into the handle that will admit water in an immersion situation. Other that that, it looks to be weather resistant and is ruggedly constructed and extremely bright for it's size.

I have used it once in the rain to illuminate a combo lock and it performed fine. I bought it to use in these very conditions so while I cannot say it is "waterproof", I can say it can safely be used in these conditions.

Yes, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain. Ideally, it needs to be behind a screen or in an enclosed fixture. If the bulb gets submerged in water, there is a chance it might not keep functioning. You can check this PAR30, it's more intended for outdoor applications, and this one is really of high quality: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.

No, it's not waterproof. I bought mine hoping that the military - style cover would protect it from the occasional splash exposure on my pontoon boat, and had to replace it within a month, after 1 rainstorm. Get one with an add - on boot. You won't get the pretty light, but you'll have a switch that works when you need it.

Not at all, I'm a security officer, first night I used it at work it was raining, light got wet and never worked again, got a response to fix it by the distributor, but wasn't worth sending it back to china, so I lost on this one. Substandard product.

Great little flashlight but NO - it cannot withstand being submerged in water. I bought it for my boat hoping it would, but the case design has a tiny hole that will immediately let in water and would ruin the flashlight. You'll be fine in the rain, but if it goes underwater, lights out!

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

I cannot verify whether it is truly waterproof, but it would certainly survive a quick dunk or light moisture. There is a rubber o-ring around the head of the flashlight that I assume is intended to prevent moisture from leaking into the electronics. It also comes with several replacement o-rings.

It appears to be waterproof, but not sure. We mounted it in the pocket behind the tail lights.

Yes this light is waterproof I've used mine down below 100 feet in the ocean. It's a very bright light. I like it because it's just about impossible to have it accidentally turn on, you have to give it a twist.

I've never gotten it wet enough to know... but the design seems that it would be fine. Keep in mind it's also designed to be used in off-road biking applications: think streams, mud, etc. I wouldn't hesitate using it in the rain. Don't know if you've ever had a light before, but I upgraded from their 100 Lumin. This one is incredible.

The battery compartment is not water and moisture proof. I have not had luck with this light. I am using it in my laundry room as a turn on light , the sensor does not work on the one I have.

I do not know. It is advertised as waterproof for camping etc. I purchased mine strictly for a strong indoor light (which it has) in case of power outage.

I have used it in the rain with no issues but I would not plan to submerge the light.

it says its water resistant, i believe that the connection between the battery and the light is very secure and is water tight, i wouldn't recommend dunking this in water but for rain i think you are A okay. as far as the lumens i believe it is closer to 1200. the directions you get with the box are very vague but if you look on youtube there are many more features with it

As others have answered, I do not know if it is waterPROOF, not having immersed it; however, I believe it to be somewhat water resistant. The o-ring seal between the head and battery compartment assembly is only tight when the flashlight is turned on (twist head slightly counterclockwise from battery end). It wouldn't make a diving light anyway. None the less, this is a great light, do not let water concerns stop you.
