We've had solar lights that fill up with water when there's a downpour. Are these really waterproof? Thanks to all who answer!

I had one of the two that I ordered that leaked. I happened to have some 1/8 inch rope putty that I pressed into the small groove around the solar panel and the leak was fixed. Good light otherwise except flimsy stake.

The package and user manual does not indicate anywhere that they are water proof, but they very slim, light work great and worth every penny. My guess that they are not water proof.

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

I have had them mounted since July 4th on the outside of my vehilce. No issues and its been a wet summer here, they are sealed, so I would say that they are waterproof.

If they are outdoor, they should be waterproof, Right? But they don't see to be. All three that I ordered have quit working in the first week probably due to high humidity and some rain.

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

I dont have a sprinkler system. When the solar cells get wet from rain they can get water logged and it seems to effect the connection to the light. Shaking the water out has so far always corrected the issue.

I have mine outside, they are not a water tight fixture but they are well protected from the elements. I have not had any problems, they have been up for about 3 months. So far so good!!

Not waterproof but water resistant. Make sure you wire an in line fuse. And ground the lights to a good solid ground. I have had these lights for a few years now. Drove thru rain and some snow and they still function like they were new. No issues at all...... knock on wood

We have no waterproofing issues with these lights and ours are completely outdoors. We are at 190 feet on one plug. Hope that's helpful.

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.

No, these are not waterproof. They may slow down a gentle rain but not a wind-driven rain.

I wouldn't consider them waterproof. They are made to replace a bulb in a fixture , not to be exposed to the elements.

Yes, as long as the diodes are not directly open the rain of water from above. Water from below (such as rain on wood or other support that the LED lights are mounted on) does not com into contact with the base connectors at the bottom of the LED "Bulb".

Continued exposure to elements and rain will surely damage the solar panel and the battery inside. Just as I mentioned in my review, those lights are not worth much. They're very, very faint.

In my experience, they don't last long enough to be able to determine if they're truly waterproof or not. I think they're SUPPOSED to be waterproof, but mine stopped working within a few weeks of my putting them up. Apparently, there's SOMETHING outside that they're not "-proof" to. Good luck!

Yes they are. There is a weather strip inside to protect the interior. I have 8 of these lights as a pathway and it get very flooded because we get a lot of rain and they are working no problem. You shouldn't have any issues. I love them, they work so well and are pretty bright.
