Unfortunately I installed this unit on a utility room door from the garage into the house. Sorry.

we have had one in direct rain / sun contact for two years with EXTREMELY heavy use - typically 15-30 entries a day and the only trouble is that the numbers on buttons are fading

We've had ours for about 7 months. It doesn't get rained on or direct light, but we have recently endured temps with a wind chill of -47 degrees and it has never failed. We love it!!

If left in shaded area it will be fine, I got it for my twin grandsons and my daughter leaves it up all summer and it is fine, and she lives in Louisiana. Hope this answers your question

Im not sure how long it would last against the sun. Its heavy plastic with legs that could rust. So for the price it would hold up for a while, but I can't say forever.

Linda my name is Ron I live in WV and we have had a lot of rain I mean a lot of rain when the sun don't sun the light is not as bright as if it did shine. Myself I have had no trouble with the light I really think it's one of the best lights on market today. I've had my solar flag light for over a year and works as good now as if were new. Wait until the rainly days are over and and the sunshine a day, I think you'll see the light works very well.

We live in New Mexico with similar climates it sounds like. It holds up well. However we plan ahead with cases of strong wind and lay it down on it's side in the mornings before we leave for work or at night before bed. My sister has one as well for her kids, and they have it filled with a sand and water mixture, and the don't lay it down like we do. Hers has not fallen. Hope that helps.

I looks like it would resist a light rain. The switch on the side would probably be the first infiltration point. I've used mine in some questionable weather and either I covered it with gaffer tape or stuck it in a sandwich bag.

It does pretty good unless it is fully exposed to heavy rain. I have it on the patio where it only gets partial exposure.

Its been raining 3 day in CA, And it still light up...so I guess it does preserve power for this kind of weather...I am happy with this.

It is ok. It will hold up a little bit but not forever. The sun and rain will eventually make it rot as it does with everything. We live in southwest Florida and even our patio umbrellas get dry rot.

I don't think it would hold up to much weather. I also believe it would fade very badly exposed to sunlight. I would suggest bringing it inside when not in use

I have had these outside in all kinds of weather for over three months now and there are no issues with rain. (Except that dreary weather affects the charging so they don't stay lit as long, but that is to be expected from a solar product.)

Has a good strong light. Should work great. I set it up and it works fine outside in the sun.

Here in PA we've had some very heavy rains and it held up just fine. Last year during Sandy a tree fell down in the back yard. We had to work for 45 minutes to move it away from the door. The light stayed lit thru the entire time in the middle of the storm. I'd say it works great in a heavy rain. No it did not come up for the rain only when we walked out into the back yard.

I wouldn't think SUN could bother this, BUT RAIN Will. I don't recommend this for OUTSIDE.

Its an outdoor fixture..so, yes it is made to take outdoor weather however it must be installed properly. Now, with that being said; I have been using this brand for over twenty years and some will last 3 years others 10 years...Its generally the motion sensor portion that will fail!! Hope this helps..

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