Could they be ceiling mounted on a porch exposed to rain?

Hi Christine,I have mine ceiling mounted on a back porch. As long as you have a good deal at the top (silicone beed is what I used before tightening the more mount) I don't see where water would infiltrate. Very happy with the product durability and it has a good look to it. Hope that helps,Nick

They likely could be mounted there as long as water is not going to poor directly into the top of the fixture. The connections on the sides of the fixture top can be sealed adequately so blowing moisture or rain should be fine.

No I tried that under my deck and it filled w/ water. I believe the water was mostly retained condensation.

I don't believe that it would charge to well if it was raining (no sun). The electronics are mounted underneath the panels, should be protected.

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.

We have 2 on our front porch and they are fine...not too much heat, but ceilings are high.

Fully out in the weather... I'd say no. But I have been using this in the overhead light socket on a covered porch for over a year.

I am not an expert but would say that under a roof such as a porch, it should be ok. Over time it will probably fail earlier than inside a room. It probably will fail earlier if rain or snow were able to blow onto it - as in a storm.

I have the light mounted to the house just under the soffit. It is slightly protected from weather (not fully exposed). I know rain and snow have contacted it with no problem.

Yes. They are suitable for damp locations. I have one above my shower (though the ceiling is 9' tall).

They do have a protective coating on them of some sort. I have mine under a covered patio, but I do think they would hold up to moisture and rain.

I have ours installed outside. They are under a covered patio and go into a protected portion of the ceiling. Have the installed for over a year and no issues.

I would think not. Maybe if it's out of direct rain exposure of sunlight but this is def. made for inside or maybe a garage.

I am not sure they would with stand different weather conditions, such as rain etc.. They also need a smooth surface to adhere. I put mine in my bathroom, love them.

I put four of these around my house, under the eaves...no problems. They have experienced 100+ temperatures. They have also survived some ferocious storms, although the moisture is indirect. I don't think I would mount these on the face of a wall directly exposed to rain, however. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. However, we live in Southern California and get little rain. So far, these lights work well. Also, they are brighter than expected. For us, that's good.

I wouldn't think so? They are covered in cloth along the wiring. IF you plan to use them in a patio area where they wouldn't get wet, then I don't see why not. I have mines hanging in the sunroom and they look soooo nice. I would not hang them anyplace where they could get "wet" or a high wind would blow them and cause them to crack or break, by swinging and hitting against something.

It might be okay depending on how exposed it is to the weather. It is wood with some metal peices and needs two walls with eyehooks to install. If left in the rain overtime the wood would warp and the metal would rust.

I've bought this light and have them (2) under a porch roof. It does not get direct rain which I felt comfortable with that. It works great. I really like these lights. I've had them for over a year and very happy with them. Worth the money as they aren't that expensive compared to what you could pay for other lights.
