Are the string of lights waterproof or just the solar panel?

Everything seems to be waterproof. We have ours hung in trees, unprotected outside now for months and still going strong.

I don't know if they were designed to be waterproof, but I used them outside in the rain and had no problems.

I imagine they are eco-friendly cause they're solar powered. I would say they're made of plastic and would hold up like any string lights would. I have them wrapped around palm plants on my porch.

The lights are bright. I use two as deck lights on my sailboat. Obviously, they are underwater rated, so they are weatherproof on the ocean. Only issue is the very lightweight swivel mount. But, it hasn't caused a problem.

I do buy a lot of led lights , if it says not water resistant or waterproof if the strip does not have a epoxy finish on it then it's probably not waterproof .

The connectors are not waterproof. In fact the way the pin connectors on the LED strings are made, the pins could not be made waterproof. You could use this outdoors, and I have, by wrapping the connections with waterproof tape or a dab of silicon after plugging them together. I would not try this in a submerged location. It will be weather resistant, not waterproof

You can easily purchase a cheaper one w/out the hanger and make one with wire. These lights are built fairly well except for one thing. When it rains they seem to short out and die. I have purchased three, had to returned/replaced them. I added silicone sealant around the solar cell (where it seemed to be leaking), but currently only one has survived. I think if these were weather-proofed better they would last for many years.

No it is NOT waterproof. Rain will definitely kill the light. Great for stage lighting indoors but do not use outdoors without it being under cover.

Short answer is yes. The light is sealed around the edges under the aluminum frame to prevent water intrusion. Should moisture collect inside the light due to condensation from temperature fluctuations there are three drain holes, including the access for the on/off switch on the lower most part of the light, to allow moisture to drain. Weatherproof is a better word to describe it. Because if the light were to be completely submerged it would take on water. With that said, I never noticed any water in my lights. I hope this helps.

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.

I,d say its some what waterproof as goes through rain etc I'd say as long as it is not deep in water would work. I'ts really cute the solar panel is on the middle top log.

I am not sure, the light only opens on one end and there is an "O" ring there, but I can't say for sure that it is waterproof. thanks.

Just the panel and about a foot of wire. I bought direct burial wire for walkway lights from lowes. Then double wall heat shrink to make waterproof connections

Yes the light is waterproof and works great. I have mine on my atv which gets road pretty hard and I love it.

Should be no problem being waterproof but expect only a soft glow from this model. If you need a brighter source of light I would suggest a different, waterproof model.

I cannot answer as to whether the light is waterproof or not but I do not hesitate to use it in wet conditions. There is an o-ring between the battery and bulb sections which seems to keep moisture out of the light.

The Bat Light is tight enough to be waterproof. Wouldn't worry about it. Hope this helps.

They are supposed to be. I bought 2 about 1 1/2 years ago. One quit after about 4 months and the other one is working fine. Both the solar panel and the light fixture are in full weather conditions and it still works flawlessly. They are quite bright for a solar lamp.
