Do these stay lit in windy conditions?

yes the do a nice job in the wind. They are a bit messy to fill and the containers are small so you do have to refill them fairly often but otherwise they are really quite nice.

No, but the magnets are very weak. Should be fine indoors. I used them outdoors and even a slight breeze blew them off my entrance gate. Most of them are beautiful but the outdoor sun fades colors.

No but, I do have them under a coved patio but they do get sun light. I have been able to sit on them any time.

That's what we have. They work very well. They are very bright. However., if it's a dark and deary day they stay on all day. We've had them six months. We'd buy them again.

I have not had mine move in high winds but you could also put a landscape fabric staple over the power lead where it leaves the fixture to make sure it does not move anywhere.

If they're either in an enclosure or out of the weather, yes. I use mine in landscape lighting.

Yes. I have had them attached to the top of a carport for some months, and the rain (we get a lot) does not seem to bother them at all. A downside, though, is that one of each pair I got never worked, while the other worked fine. I had to buy two pair to get a single good pair of lights.

They do not appear to be rated for outdoor use. However, I am successfully using two other LED bulbs in outdoor locations that are not rated for outdoors either. Neither bulb is directly exposed to rain, and both face downward. One is underneath a large soffit area, and one is installed in a "barn light" type hooded fixture. Hope this helps!

I have had the lights only a short while. They are lovely - and give soft glowing light - not the kind like switching on the porch light. Mine are out where they get rained on. So far they light well. I have other solar lights - 4 of various types - which I have had a year or more. Of 4, 3 have continued to work well, even in heavy downpours. The 4th works intermittently.

The lights are off at about 6:30am. We are very happy with these lights and are decimated going to purchase more. We have high winds in our area about 60mph gusts and they have held strong.

I use them in outdoor motion lights and they work fine. The lights are mounted up under the eaves a bit so they don't get direct rain.

for a 100 years these lamps graced farms throughout America. Yes, they are weather-poof and stay lit in the rain. Mine is mounted on my garage and has remained in good standing in two hurricane intense rain storms this year.

Once they take lift and are rising, the burn out far up in the sky. Once out, they drift down extinguished with no fire. The key to not causing a fire is the LIFT OFF and that is dependent of wind, and temp differences. I have had better lanterns than these but I would give them 4 of 5 stars.

Yes , wind may affect the ability to light the lantern easily. But once the lantern is lit, light wind should not blow the fuel source out. Too much wind may affect the lantern's trajectory if you release the lantern in a fire hazard area that is something to be aware of.

my lights have been installed outside (in Florida) for approx. 10 months and they seem weather proof.............I am not sure what you mean by DO THEY OFF LIGHT FOR AT LAST (LEAST?) 10-15 FT.................there is just enough dim glow to let you know that something is there...........

Real windy conditions, not a good idea. Light wind and you'll be ok. Make sure the lanterns are completely filled with hot air so they have the best chance of going straight up rather than fly horizontal first. We set them off and a couple landed in trees. Nothing caught fire but there could have been a problem if we were in drier conditions. We are in Florida and have had a lot of rain.

Yes but not exposed to rain, sleet or snow, they start out dim and brighten as they heat up, you can use them, but I would suggest regular light bulbs, hope this helps, some !
