Is this flashlight weather proof? Like will it work in the rain?

Yes it will work in the rain. I put the flashlight in a container full of water and froze it for 5 hours and it works fine. My only problem with my light, I have the early models, is that is comes on while in it's pouch. I have used the new models and the switch doesn't come on as easy. While in the freezer I had left it on and it was still on when I pulled it out. It seems like a very well made light and the battery life is very good. Hope this helps.

I believe it is described by the mfgr. as 'water resistant but I'm not 100% sure on that. Personally, I would have no reservations about using it in the rain, considering the solid construction of the light itself. It is a really nice light that throws a LOT of light. I believe it's worth the money.

According to the enclosed instructions, it's waterproof and submersible up to 2 meters.

Yes. I even took it out on the Appalachian trail just recently and it worked well in wet weather

Yes, it is water proof. And submersible, too. I recently used it in a search and rescue mission on a boat in the Kuskokwim River during a windy and rainy night here in rural Alaska this weekend. Worked without fail. Very bright light, saw our target (broken down motor boat with 2 people aboard) from a long way off. I'm sure my light was heavenly to them.

It is fine in the rain. It utilizes o-ring seals to keep the internals dry. I use it nightly walking the dog and could not be happier with it.

I find that the light is water resistant. It held up fine in a drizzle during one of my rides. The battery compartment is well sealed by the fine threading used. It is an all metal body for the light. The push button switch used to operate the different modes is inside a rubber nipple. I would not be afraid to use this light in a rainstorm.

I know the flashlight is waterproof because I submerged it for about 20 minutes after I first bought it to make sure. I don't know how well it will performs while scuba diving or what Depth but I do know that I've dropped plenty of fluids on it at work. Aircraft fuels, hydraulic fluids or oils and have dropped it a few times and it performs very well probably the best flashlight ever owned.

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.

I've never gotten it wet enough to know... but the design seems that it would be fine. Keep in mind it's also designed to be used in off-road biking applications: think streams, mud, etc. I wouldn't hesitate using it in the rain. Don't know if you've ever had a light before, but I upgraded from their 100 Lumin. This one is incredible.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

I keep mine outside but under cover from direct rain. It has a battery pack that could get wet. Also the plastic could deteriorate over time in direct sun. I would say weather resistant but not weather proof.

The light is water-resistant. I have ridden in light rainstorms and it performed well. The usb cover at the bottom and the on/off button are both rubber plugs and could be prone to water seeping in if they somehow become mis-inserted or dislodged, which has happened to me. Luckily not during a rain storm.

It's fine to ride with it in the rain, but after a while, or if it sits in permanently wet conditions (for example if it sits with a lot of snow on top), moisture might seep inside, which interferes with the on/off/flash switch's functioning. There is a gasket, but I've found that this happens anyway. There is a lifetime warranty on the product, though you have to send the light away before they will send you a new one.

Actually I cross a river and the lamp was under the water. (But it wasn't on) later I had to turned on, and it worked perfectly.Im sure you can use it under the rain.

I think its pretty weather resistant, wouldn't say waterproof though. As long as your not in a hurricane downpour I think it will hold up pretty well. Would not submerge it though. I have yet to find a brighter light. This is my second Thor light in 10 years, the first was a Thor X 10 million. Bulbs and batteries are replaceable as well. The bulbs are basicly car headlamps.

I wasn't able to use it in the rain, but I see no reason it wouldn't. This thing lights up a LOT. You can focus the light and shine it even further. I was able to shine it up on canyon walls probably 300-400 feet away.

Hi Brad,It sure seems to be - I've left mine out in elements here Califonia through some heavy rain and it's been fine - extremely happy with unit and the recharae feature is the way to go. I've inverted mine for a softer light and highly recommend based on my usage !Tom

Yes, i used it on a rainy night and it worked well with no problems. I don't think it's waterproof but definitely water resistant....

I live in Phoenix. Rain is not an issue. Sorry, I can't help. I can tell you I've had the light for over a year and it works great.

This flashlight is not waterproof. However, I did use mine - that I got from Battlbox - to help a friend find his class ring, that he dropped. We were duck hunting on the coast, and I was surprised that the flashlight still worked once we dipped it under. He found his ring, but my flashlight is ruined now. It still works even though parts of it are rusted from the salt water. Long story short, this flashlight will work when wet, but it's best save for an emergency, or you'll ruin it.

I wouldn't say it was "weather proof" but I would say you could bring it outside to use for a party as long as it wasn't raining. It is powered by an electric cord but it is also chargeable. I've never used the lights without it plugged in, so I couldn't tell you how long the charge lasts.
