How weatherproof is this lamp?

I didn't take the plastic cover off the top of the solar panel but its outside at all times not under covering and it works fine. I would say its very weatherproof.

Since it is LED the bulbs are supposed to last 100,000 hrs and since its only on a minute or so when activated they should last for yrs. the electrical board will wesr out first. My first one only lasted 6 mo and quit turning. Called the manufactor and they replaced it once free under warranty. He said water got in it. Says weatherproof but I am doubtful! So far this one is good. I like the light and what it does! Just hope it's durable! Hope this helps.

We've had the light since September and haven't had any problems with wind or rain. We've been very pleased with it, especially considering how inexpensive it is compared to other lights. Using a clear bulb makes the illumination brighter.

No. It is not waterproof. There are open plug ports and configuration switches on the back of the lights.

No. Its not weather resistant. Plus its so quiet its not worth the purchase..

No it is NOT waterproof. Rain will definitely kill the light. Great for stage lighting indoors but do not use outdoors without it being under cover.

The bulb is suitable for damp locations. Do not use it if directly exposed to rain.

Yes...I have one outside on my side entrance. It its just the bulb and the socket, no lamp cover or protection. I live in Colorado and its been through rain, snow, and sun for over a year

I live in Vermont and my previous lamps lasted about five winters. They were replaced mostly because of damage from heavy ice and snow sliding off the house roof. Some of them were still intact but for the cost I replaced them all. They are quite sturdy but are not made of metal!

I don't believe the light unit itself is moisture proof, but it is adaptable to fit into a weather proof housing. It is a sealed unit though. They do give off quite a bit light for thier wattage.

I have mine outdoors in Minnesota winter weather. The light tubes are sealed. I did put weatherproof protection on the power plug to keep it dry.

Yes it is waterproof and weather proof. However it is certainly not bright. The 28 LED advertised is somewhat misleading. It is like holding a candle in a large forest.

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.

I've had mine two years. Ovevthe past 6 months, I've taken to leaving it on all day (on the weekends when I'm home). I use it like a regular lamp. No problems.May not want to use it as a reading lamp during the evening in the case it keeps one awake.

I use the lamp all the time as a reading lamp. It is virtually on all day & night. I've had it for over a year & it hasn't gone out yet.

I do not. I have 2 of these lamps in my home and live south east of San Antonio TX (high humidity almost yr round) No issues here

Yes. I have not had any issues with it in the rain or snow. It is covered in an outside light fixture so the fixture protects it from the rain and snow. It is the best outside bulb I have ever had. I turned it on the first time and have not turned it off -- it comes on at dusk and turns off when it gets light in the morning. I searched and searched for a bulb this great and finally found the perfect outside bulb.
