If I installed it outside where there is rain and snow, how long will it last till rust comes up?

I haven't had mine up that long - not even a year yet, but it works flawlessly. Looks great and was easy to install even for this rookie. I would highly recommend this motion light.

I would think it would not rust since it is plastic!!! Mine is outside and doing fine.

Usually there is some protection under the eves. As far as I can see, this unit is quite well made and well painted. I suspect you would get 10 - 12 years before rust would show.

Well I had it on my car for about 5 months and in that time I would say it rained about 1 maybe 2 weeks all together. It never showed any sign of rust.

I have had it outside for a year now in the Pacific NW and its rust free. I cover it with a tarp when it rains.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

I've had mine installed for a couple years now outside, under a covered area and it has weathered fine. The metal seems to be an aluminum material.

Don't think so....it looks like it is protected against rust. But, I've only had it for six months and it doesn't sit in the weather, so....I may not be the best judge.

Have tried in the cold. I wouldn't use it in the rain, cause you'll just rust it out

I've had mine in a covered porch; but it closes tightly & I doubt if it will rust outside. Good product.

Mine has been outdoors in rain for 3 months no problems yet but the unplated allen bolts have surface rust we just put a little waterproof bearing grease on top of the bolt heads

Michael that is going to depend on the outside conditions. I think you could easily add anti rust coating and use bolts designed for outdoor installation.

It would rust. It work great but unless you cover it or put it indoors it won't last long.

I imagine that it would rust if left outdoors. I use mine in my utility room and have had no problems.

We have had ours installed on the side of our house for several months. It has been exposed to heavy snow and rain and continues to work well.

I have a painting that has been outside 5 years and there is no rust or change in the wire. It is a somewhat protected area, no rain..slight sun. I have used this wire that long and would use nothing else. Susan

Hummm, I don't think it will survive the rust! Maybe if you spray a coat of rust proofing!

No, ive had mine on for over 6 months now it hasn't faded or rusted. Where i live there isn't much rain though but it has rained a few times and no rust. But they do get dirty a lot with the exhaust coming out of them, they turn black every once in a while but you can just wipe it off with a wet rag or anything else.

This product has an enamel finishe and if it's going to be inside cover it should last. But there always a BUT! If you are going to keep it outside exposed to the salty air it is NOT going to last and it will rust&#128547; YOU WILL BE OK&#128522;
