Has this light been installed in winter environments (snow/ice/wind)? And how does it hold up?

My light has been installed for almost a year and we have had the coldest winter in years. So far it still looks good.

Mine have only been up a few months. We have had a colder and snowier winter than normal. The lights have had snow on there shades for the last month. No problems so far and no changes in the metal finish that I can tell.

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..

Quite well. I have five of these installed on the outside of my garage here in NJ. We've had a hard winter and they are holding up just fine.

the fixture is weather resistant and secure in the wind. make sure the mounting box is secured to a sturdy structural member.

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

I have never seen a light but it has worked faithfully for several years. Check it at the first freeze to be sure it turns on but i have never seen it fail and it has been outdoors in the weather all the time.

the Bulb is not weather resistant however I don't believe the cold will affect it is very dim though

I haven't had any probs with the light being reliably mounted in place. Having said that, I ride on road only so no bumps (weather here in CA is pretty good). My subjective opinion is that it shouldn't be a problem, but then again perhaps for mountain biking the mount won't hold up. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

As far as rain, yes, but freezing snow, I do not know, but the plastic pedals are made of soft plastic material and may harden from the extreme cold, yet it should not affect the electric current that lights the bulb and pedal. As long as no one breaks the pedal leaf when and if it is hardened, should not be a problem. Don't know if snow will hide the light effect. I only can say that it is beautiful when it is on and is always a conversational piece.

I put mine up, and I changed batteries after about 2 months, maybe more. It was cold at night also. This is pretty good considering the weather conditions.

They seem to be very heavy duty, and are "commercial". So they may survive the winter. However, I am taking my in this fall and replacing w Christmas lights. They'll last longer that way.

Hi Mike I live in Eastern Canada and we get all kinds of nasty weather here ...I had my lights since the Spring ,and those temps shouldn't be a problem ..

I live in Minnesota, I had installed the l.e.d bulbs and about a week later I think the cold weather affected them. I returned them for credit back to my account. hopefully this helps you.

I've had one mounted on a deck railing in Alaska fully exposed for a couple of years to light our dog's yard. I've never had any issues with weather, water, snow, or ice. For the price and convenience, this is a great little unit that produces a surprising amount of light. We just moved to a new house that is secluded and I'm going to purchase several more.

For $30 bucks? It's a LED light fixture. It should last a long time. Just survived the winter of 2015 in PA.!

The base of the light has some rubber for grip and there is an included o ring to strap to a bar. It holds very well and doesn't really move. I have it mounted to a snowblower and it doesn't move. Very bright light.

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.

I bought 2 sets of these lights, have them up now for 3rd year. I saw a couple of negative reviews back then, but mine are still functioning fine, in harsh Michigan winters. The tubes are sometimes fogged up when it rains, but they just dry out. (The slight amount of heat from the LEDs when running will do it -- sunshine dries it out faster.) That said, they arrive with no directions for assembly. It's not difficult to assemble, but one should be careful putting the connectors together; a small drop of lube on the connector nuts will help. They're keyed to be obvious, & I put 2 light sets on 1 controller/power supply, with the add-on extension cable, included.

I know this is an old question, but I've had one in our pole light which is inside a fixture of course, but still completely outside. It's worked for over 2 years in -25ºF weather and 100ºF+ weather so I would have NO problem suggesting these for use outside as long as they're not open to the elements. Best 10 bucks I've spent! I now have 5 of these and not one failure.

Light works very well including in the snow. I did receive the wrong light at first. The seller was difficult to deal with. Eventually got it right.
