Can these lights withstand a Canadian winter?

They withstood a New Hampshire winter. I decided to take them inside for their second winter. With limited charge time in the winter they don't stay lit long anyway. In the summer they stay on all night.

I don't think so. The solar cells kind of fall apart due to sun and temperature extremes. Before that they work fine

We have our lights outside in PA, lots of snow and some cold weather. At this point the temp is 15 to 35 degrees during the day, 10 to 15 at night, and the lights work fine. We've had no trouble at all compared to regular floods that have consistently blown out, rain, cold, snow etc.. Lights give a nice warm color used to light the front of the house shining up. Better than the bright white color of other LEDs.

i think they will work fine, provided no moisture or rain can hit the cans. I am using them as accent light in an exterior soffit that has no insulation.

You can if you like, but it's not necessary. I left my lights outside all winter (in Detroit, MI): the coldest and snowiest on record for the past 120 years! They worked beautifully all winter long (except perhaps when they were covered with snow.) They still worked like brand new as soon as the snow melted and they could recharge in the sun again! If anything, the "glass" is a smidge cloudier than when they were brand new straight out of the box (and after a whole year of use), but they still look good and give off good light. Best solar fixtures I've ever purchased. I'm very happy with them.

I'm using them outside in a fixture that has a vented top & solid sides. They replaced incandenscents that worked OK and after a couple months seem to be doing fine. I'm in a warm & humid climate; can't speak to what would happen if very cold.

Don't know how the batteries will hold up in your winters. I have had my lights and have only changes the batteries once. It is in the weather year-round, from 100 plus degree Northeast Texas heat to temps in the low twenties last winter.

These lights are not meant for outdoor use, as they are not sealed to keep moisture out. You may be able to use them under an overhang where they are protected from the weather but they wouldn't last long where I live in New England.

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

LED bulbs work just fine outside, and are not impacted by cold like CFL bulbs are. I have several outside and they have suffered no ill effects.

I live in the great white north where the temps regularly drop far below zero. I have had no problems at all with my Feit LED flood lights. They light right up to full brightness.

Sorry, I live in Phoenix. No winter here but the lights have held up after a year here.

Anthony, I'm a bit slow on installing these, I bought 8 fixtures last year and another 2 recently. T8 fixtures are supposed to work well in low temperatures (20 F) so I'm trusting the liturature I read and what I've heard from coworkers enought to buy 10 of these fixtures. Sorry I don't yet have first hand experience.

I used mine in a garden area of a vintage courtyard bldg in Chicago, I had the lights closer together than how they were intended so there was a lot of excess wire but it laid on the soil and wasn't too obvious and the effect of the lights were great especially when there was some snow on them. I'm hoping they still work this year.

I dont think so, seems to be as stiff as a hard taffy. My lights remained sealed through the last year, with all the temperature fluctuation it must have a bit of pliability.

The light is cold white. I have them shining on the base portion of two larger trees. I don't think there would be an issue with a tree of that height. They work great for me. The light is bright enough also. I wouldn't want it any brighter for my purpose.

For the price you can't beat them mine have lasted 2 years of snow plowing so they hold up not bad. It's all about cutting the cheap connectors off and soldering the wires together and shrink tube the joint. Make it water proof . The lights are sealed so that won't be your weather problem, definitely the connectors

I bought one last fall and the light is weather proof and worked well all winter and is still working as good as new. I plan to add one more before winter.Stephen
