Can you remove the top of lamp to prevent rain from entering ? If not how do you protect it from filling with water ?

We keep ours covered when it rains. The covers came with the lamps. They are really nice lamps.

Our Heath/Zenith porch light is mounted under a porch overhang, near the edge. It does not get directly rained on from above, but wind and rain conspiring together to get the lamp wet has not been any problem for us. Have had it up for less than six months so far, but quite pleased with it's operation. It's construction seems a little lightweight (especially compared to the heavy metal porch light that it replaced) and the light bulb and bulb socket are not weather sealed and are open to the elements on the underside. It might be advisable to mount this model under a porch overhang rather than in the open weather, if possible, for maximum longevity.

The frame is aluminum and the top is a plastic type material so rain will not hurt it. We have had ours out in the rain multiple times. Just wipe it dry.

Short answer is yes. The light is sealed around the edges under the aluminum frame to prevent water intrusion. Should moisture collect inside the light due to condensation from temperature fluctuations there are three drain holes, including the access for the on/off switch on the lower most part of the light, to allow moisture to drain. Weatherproof is a better word to describe it. Because if the light were to be completely submerged it would take on water. With that said, I never noticed any water in my lights. I hope this helps.

Yes to both. The lamp can be removed from the base, while the base is still attached to the table / shelf. Just lift / slide the lamp up and out of the base. Hope that is of some help. Regards Bruce Huffadine New Zealand

don't think so. there are vent holes that can let water in and thus damage the lamp if directly exposed to water. Also, there is a fan that can become damaged as well. BTW, the fan noise is noticeable and out of three units one failed within a week.

Yes it does. After a spell of rain, I will wipe off the accumulated water on the top surface. I also modified the base so I could remove the lamp and set them in the direct sun in order to charge them up for the coming evening hours. I do this just to keep them at their brightest during the night.

I have used it in the rain with no issues but I would not plan to submerge the light.

Where the lamp starts to bend at the top, there is a section of the lamp pole and base pole with a twisting "cap" in the middle. All you have to do is loosen the twist component , and then pull the lamp pole out as far as you want it and then Tighten the twist part again. I made it sound a whole lot more complex than it is lol- it's really easy/ common sense.

You can remove the base from the lamp with a simple turn of the set screw.. BTW.. this lamp is very good for the price..I bought it for a spare lamp.. but it is now my lamp of choice on my work bench.. good price..good lamp.. and good luck to you Dave..

The lamp shade is removable. The shade's base is a round circular piece which slips down onto the outside of the socket which holds the light bulb. (The light bulb has to be removed to take the shade off of the lamp.)

This lamp does not have an all weather enclosure, but if you place it in a protected area, it should be fine outdoors.You will need the proper socket for it to work.

This light cannot be used where it will be directly exposed to rain, as water will collect inside the bulb. But it can be used outside where it's sheltered, such as under an eave.

The opening on the top would let rain in, but you can put plastic on that opening

It has been awhile since I purchased the lamp. I believe it was a standard lamp that was fillable. I think the switch was on the lamp head. SORRY

The flowers are part of the molded top and are not detachable. I don't know whether their purpose is to keep rain out.
