Remove these in the winter? I get an average of 2-3' of snow. will the lights get damaged in the snow?

These seem well made... I wouldn't pull them in for winter myself but we only get about 1-2 feet all season...

Ours are in the ground right now with about 26" of snow on them, we can see them burning brightly through the snow. This is our second year with them, but the first year where they are under snow for over a month. I am guessing they would survive your snow as well. You could just turn them off if the amount of snow is too much, but I wouldn't pull them out of the ground.

Vary good lights use them all the time. I am totally satisfied with this product.

We have our lights outside in PA, lots of snow and some cold weather. At this point the temp is 15 to 35 degrees during the day, 10 to 15 at night, and the lights work fine. We've had no trouble at all compared to regular floods that have consistently blown out, rain, cold, snow etc.. Lights give a nice warm color used to light the front of the house shining up. Better than the bright white color of other LEDs.

I Do not Know, but I am using in drive-way in motion activated glass fixture. Do not know its impact in winter.

I have had my lights for about a year now. So far I have had no trouble with them. My lights are not exposed to the elements as they are under a tonneau cover.The led lights are bright enough to light up the entire bed at night. My lights are connected to a pre wired switch on my console. Hope this helps you.

Not that I'm aware of. After rain , ice and snow the round glass in these lights becomes dull and very difficult to get clear. I usually buy new lights every three years. Weather conditions just too harsh on fixtures as well. Sorry I don't have a better solution.

So far I've had no problems with any weather. I've had rain, frozen rain and snow and it has had no effect on the performance of the light.

Mine was snowed on this week. Eventually with 3-4" the light melted the snow.no issues with broken lens.I like the look .much nicer than my old ones I had fluorescent in.

They are pretty good lights. When they are running they are good. When you turn them off, they make slightcracking sounds. Warm covers cooling off is my theory. It doesn't last that long...

Awesome in the winter. I really can't see a use for them once snow and ice are gone.

They are indoor blubs, I am on page with the other two answers. I would try them. I had some outdoor light blubs break on me from the ice and snow getting into the fixture. We had melting weather with high winds that blew the water into the fixture and froze to the bulb. When the light came on at night it exploded. Nothing is perfect. For the money that you save using LED blubs it is worth trying.

I have not had any issues at all and they have sat outside since I installed them last spring. One is even cracked from me hitting it with a log and it works fine even in rain and snow.

I take my light bar off during the winter because I run my truck through the automated car wash on a regular basis. As such, it's currently unmounted. It's about 12° outside - not going to reinstall - but here are some pics on how it works: http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/Apocalanche/library/Avalanche/Light%20Bar

not really sure they have been on my car for about a year and faced snow and ice and are not pitted or damaged in any way. Only challenge I have experienced with these is getting them synced with the vehicle system (GM). Local installer was not able to get the working.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

They definitely look like they can withstand some winter abuse. Having said that, I live in CO and took mine off for the winter. Didn't want snow/rain getting inside the metal mechanism.

Can't say for sure, we got them toward the end of winter and they did fine with some snow and ice, but they have not been exposed for an entire winter season. We are in the mid-Atlantic area.
