Is the lantern water resistant? Would it be safe to use in the rain?

I don't think it's explicitly waterproof. Definitely not submersible, but it may do well in light rain for short amounts of time. Just keep a flashlight handy :)

It looks very well sealed to my eyes - there's an o-ring sealing the battery enclosure, for example. I don't think you'd want to fully immerse it, but I think it would handle rainy weather. It's a great little lantern - and it's small - nice light, warmer color temperature than most LEDs and well made.

Can you use it outside, yes. Is it an outdoor light, no. It's not waterproof at all. The power cord is only like 5ft, and you wouldn't be able to see them unless it's dark with almost no other lights around it. if you keep rain off of it you might be able to use it for less than a day outside, but if you left it outside to get rinsed on it would break

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.

we used the flashlight component outdoors at night and it worked fine. haven't tried it during rainy weather.

It is not waterproof or resistant, but it is very well made. I have used it outdoors many times without incident. Humidity is not a problem, I live in South Florida, but I would not want it to get soaking wet.

I'd say water resistant. I hunted out of it in a steady rain and maybe only a drop or two made it inside. There are tiny little pinholes around some of the seams. Not a major issue. I can't speak for a downpour, that may be a different story.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

Yes but not meant to get wet. I modified mine to operate with a 6volt lantern battery for more sure fire kills.

I would say water resistant. It's got rubber seals on all the threads but I think it would eventually leak through with a scuba dive. Great light though.

I only used it when it was raining lightly so I believe it is water resistant but not sure if it's water proof.

We have had this lantern on our front porch for about 6 months now. I really like it, but I would be cautious about an uncovered area. Is it protected from the wind and elements at all? We have had one of the glass sides come loose. Thankfully, it didn't' fall down and could be easily re-adjusted.

I've used mine in the rain many times, never an issue. The unit uses the ground pin on the outlet and has a breaker. I think they kept safety in mind with outdoor use.

Very - I haven't used it in a rainstorm but my boys and I have spent several scout backpacking trips with it in drizzle, light rain and heavy dew without getting wet.

The light is water-resistant. I have ridden in light rainstorms and it performed well. The usb cover at the bottom and the on/off button are both rubber plugs and could be prone to water seeping in if they somehow become mis-inserted or dislodged, which has happened to me. Luckily not during a rain storm.

Haven't used mine in the rain, yet. I, personally, wouldn't hold it under water, but, I imagine, it would work in a light rain. It would be a good idea to lightly grease all "0" rings occasionally. Also, I don't use mine on high unless I need a massive light, to save battery life.

No, its not water resistant, i use this in Aruba (harsh conditions for electrical stuff) and it stays ok for 4 year now, i use this outdoors under the roof,

Not water resistant at all if it's left outside. Perhaps can withstand a light rain moving from one place to another but that's it. I think you could help it a little with water proofer like what you use on tents, shoes, etc but that's just for a light protection.
