My Ladybug Lights haven't been working, but it up well when I first got them at the end of March. It's been raining a few days, and I hope this hasn't ruined the wiring. I assumed they were able to withstand outdoor elements. Has this happened to any...

We had rain here twice this week and mine are still continuing to light each night. Koala22

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

The same thing happens to me but afther six months and after a heavy rain, I take it out and becomes a great brick or paperweight,I try to desasembly an fix but there's no solution at least you become ant-man and fix it, they said "it's waterproof" and "spot lights" but this light is more like Flood and definitely not weather resistant..

Mine lasted about two years. Had both the 7' and the smaller (4.5'?) and both were always outdoors on my deck and the top (green) palms began to rust at the joints. Being battered around by winds didn't help any. The smaller one is still functioning well. I did not experience the problem of non-functioning lights as noted in the other response. Overall, I was happy with the appearance and the ambiance they lent to my outdoor area, but do wish it had been more durable.

Mine weren't working at first. Before I went to dig into it, they started working. I'm not sure why. But they're still working and I've had the lights in for a few weeks now.

I used them outdoors and had no problem, but not for an extended time. I viewed them like Christmas lights, but I'm not sure what they are rated for. I tossed the boxes last year.

Recently we have had several significant downpours that did not affect the deck lights at all. The rain beads on the housing and rolls off. They kept the deck well illuminated during a power outage. We really appreciate the additional lighting when motion is detected.

Ive had no issues with mine not working due to rain harming wiring. I would turn them to the off position until you can get a few days of full sunshine, then turn them back to the on position. This will get the battery a good full charge. I think they will be fine once you do that. So basically to answer ypur question, YES! They should work fine once you start getting full sun!

Mine have been up for 2 weeks, still work great! I think the directions said to keep the solar panel away from moisture. We never get rain, but had one freak storm with pouring rain. Still working, no problem.

We've had our Phillips LED light hanging out in Colorado weather for over a year. The light performs flawlessly in rain, ice and snow. Our son has had the same model in an exterior security light for a few years with no problems. I think the LED bulbs will perform for several more years.

Unfortunately these lights are hit or miss. We have 10 strips in our business and we've had issues with two of the power sources going out. The other 8 have been going strong for over a year now running approximately 16 hours a day 5 days a week. We ended up buying an aftermarket power source and have yet to experience any further issues.

I have same problem, I took a flash light and shocked it at night to turn off then when lite was removed it seemed to reset, been working for a couple of day now, i have 3 of them 2 work great all the time one is exposed more to street lights and another porch lite, it seems to be effected by it. Im going to try a cover over the eye with an exposed end towards the sky.

I live in Colorado. The lights have been subjected to rain and snow. No problems. Be advised, however, if the solar panel is covered with snow, light can't reach the solar panel so the lights will not go on at night. Keep the solar panel cleared of snow.

I have two of these lights at the street on each side of my driveway and have had them for about two months now and the work perfectly. I don't know what is going on with our lights, just that mine is and has always worked great and we like them very much. I am sorry that I can't be of help with this issue, just wanted to let you know that mine is doing great.George Greenwood

I called Amazon and they gave me the number for the manufacturer. The manufacturer replaced the lights, but within a week the stopped working. There is a design flaw which causes too much condensation and causes the lights not to work. I am going to call them and see if they have a solution.

All the lights different lights I am using from MicroSolar have been sitting in the rain without issues. I am in Southern Califorrnia and it doesn't rain much here.
