Will this lantern withstand a good downpour?

I do not know about withstanding a good downpour, but this small LANTERN, so far has been one of the best PURCHASES I have ever made, including the more expensive STANLEY 2M LANTERN which does not hold a CHARGE very long. I would not hesitate to PURCHASE another CYCLOPS CYC, and I am willing to bet, that it would withstand a good downpour. James L. Powell.

Unfortunately I found mine to be a total waste of money. It worked for about 1 week. I was going to use it for an always charged unit and next time I went to use it. Suck! It didn't work and was out of any warranty. I threw it away. Read my other reviews. If something is awesome - I write about it. This was not awesome. I would never buy or refer anyone to buy. ;-(

As far as a downpour, I do not have an answer for that, but we have had ours for many Months now, and use it every night of the Year, and it just keeps going. So far, for the price, it has been worth every Penney. James L. Powell.

The box doesn't say it's damp rated anywhere, so I would say no. A chandelier with uplights is especially vulnerable to moisture since water can drip down into the sockets. Most damp rated/wet rated fixtures for outdoor use will have down lights with a weather resistant top or if their uplights, they'll be enclosed in something weather resistant. Even if this was set back on a porch, where rain won't reach it, I'd worry about the metal corroding with time.

I know it's water resistant; not sure of water proof, which I would imagine would allow it to be immersed in H2O. Best light I own, and have had it for years! Worth the price.

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.

I have not used it n a heavy downpour. I've been in light rain situations and had no problems. The plugs all fit snugly. I'd be comfortable saying water resistant more than waterproof. That said, I've had mine (two units) nearly a year and have been very happy with the units.

I am not sure if Streamlight rates it as water resistant, but it's sealed with O rings and I have used mine in the rain a few times and it still works fine.

As far as I know, as it has been subjected to several severe rain storms and its still working, I would recommend this light

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.

It is not waterproof. There are no gaskets to seal the battery compartment and the telescoping lamp it metal to metal with no gasket. It is 5w and 300lm. For the $3.60, it is a very bright light for the money, but I wouldn't wear it in a downpour.

I live in FL and the lamp hasn't had any problems. We had enough rain in the year to end all drought conditions. The dawn to dusk setting still works perfect. And the light still adjusts with motion detector setting too.

It is a little tricky to light. Follow the instructions carefully. I haven't had any trouble. I always leave mine covers so I can't comment on how the rain may affect it.

If it is not exposed directly to the elements, it should be fine, but if can be rained on or have the sun beat down on it, it probably won't last long.

I believe so. The lights themselves are not water resistant, but there should be a layer of rubber-like protective coating that should keep the lights from getting wet. I would not trust these to last long outside in the weather but if they were to get damp or slightly wet it shouldn't be a problem.

I live in Phoenix. Rain is not an issue. Sorry, I can't help. I can tell you I've had the light for over a year and it works great.

No. It is neither water or weather-proof. The light is portable with a self-adhering clip. I wouldn't even recommend using the light while in the company of rain or bad weather. Again, it is NOT water or weather-proof. Good Luck :)

While it is water resistant, I've had it survive a light mist, but wouldn't trust it for a solid rain or sitting in a puddle. Especially with the solar panel...any moisture in that and you'll have to rely on the USB charger, if it works at all.

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..
