Can this also be used in rain? How much rain? Such as, can it only withstand light showers or can it be used when it's raining heavily?

I wouldn't recommend it. I have 2 and they both had spokes that broke within first few uses. Rain would probably make it worse.

Probably best for light to mid rain and low wind. Great for sun and for showers

No. Strictly for blocking the sun. The umbrella is very compact so I normally take this one and a regular umbrella if I think its going to rain.

I have used it in the rain and it was fine, but I wouldn't use it in a heavy storm or anything--it's very pretty but doesn't hold up to strong winds.

It is too lightweight for the rain. I have very sensitive skin and use it to protect me from the sun.

No it can't be used with heavy rain as it's not as wide as it appears in the pic

Does not work well in rain. I even sprayed with waterproofing and it leaked. The rain came through the sides of the tent, through the seams and even through the rain fly. Do not use in rain. It was really bad in heavy rain, but still leaked a bit in light rain.

I would think it could withstand some rain - however, I haven't tried that as we use a Barbeque grill cover (that also covers the light) whenever we're not using the grill.

Its good for light rain and no more. I wouldn't take it in heavy rain, or out in the water unless you just want to kill it. I take a little bag with me (inside its storage compartment) to cover it if it starts to rain more than a drizzle.

??? Are you planning to do underwater videos? If you mean does it handle rain.....Yes it does. But don't take it in the shower anyways :-)

I've worn it in light shower through my 15 minute walk to work. During that time the battery compartment has kept water out. But I would probably add a little non adhesive silicon seal in the battery seams for extra protection. The lamp part appear well sealed to handle heavier rain.

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.

The back of it is made of neoprene or something like it so I'm not totally sure, but I personally would use it in a light rain!

I wasn't able to use it in the rain, but I see no reason it wouldn't. This thing lights up a LOT. You can focus the light and shine it even further. I was able to shine it up on canyon walls probably 300-400 feet away.

I have had this extended in rain and it was fine. It would not be good in a heavy downpour or with strong winds.

Yes, in light rain. I use an umbrella in heavy rain and the contents of the bag stay dry.

I would not use it exposed to the elements (ie rain). We used it in our shed which is a damp environment and it did fine, but if using outdoors I think I would have it in some kind on sheltered area.

I would say moderate rain. Never used it in a heavy downpour. It got a little wet a few times with o water leakage. Love it!

I really don't know, but I wouldn't leave it out in the rain. We just use ours in the house.

No, I believe it is fine in the rain but I would not shower with it as it is not water proof.

I am sure it can be used for the rain, but I used them for baby shower decor. Hung them from a fishing line and tied crystals from the tips all around. Looks like it's raining crystals.

I believe it is described by the mfgr. as 'water resistant but I'm not 100% sure on that. Personally, I would have no reservations about using it in the rain, considering the solid construction of the light itself. It is a really nice light that throws a LOT of light. I believe it's worth the money.
