Will this work in the pacific northwest in the winter?

We live in he mid-west I remove the lights (we have 5) for the winter and replace them with pvc caps. Change them in the spring.

I live on the Oregon Coast ,on NETARTS BAY WHERE WE CAN EXPECT AS MUCH AS 90 INCHES OF RAIN A YEAR! Along with storms in the winter with up to 90 miles per hour winds. I bought 2 of these and they survived the first winter very well. even with little sunlight they remained lit all night, sometimes into the morning...Jim

I would think you would need at least 6-8 hours of daylight for it to get a good charge. It seems to do fine on cloudy or rainy days as long as it gets some sun for most of it. I live in Florida, so we don't generally have a ptoblem getting plenty of light for keeping it charged.

I can't say. We live in Missouri and have owned these since early July and they have worked well. Now that we are having cooler weather and more clouds and rain they still work but we've noticed they turn off after midnight and they used to stay on till dawn. So my guess would be that if they get enough sunlight they would turn on in the evening and stay lit till midnight or so, but I am not sure, they seem to recharge when cloudy but not enough to last all night. They look really nice whether on or off.

I don't know if they will work in the dead of winter. I still have mine turned on and so far it has been down to 19 F. They tell you not to leave the batteries in during real cold weather so when it get down a little more I will take the batteries out until early spring.

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.

the unit has worked well here in louisiana. we had our coldest winter in decades this year and we saw no issues with the unit.works well in the rain, and the heat and humidity here.

Have not used it in snow yet. I anticipate that it will work fine as long as the snow is not really deep.

Oh yeah! It'll work perfectly. Just don't leave them on during winter. I ruined two that way.

I think it will be fine. I have mine plugged as needed in winter in Colorado. We dont usually get that cold though.

I installed one a 500 square foot three season cottage in Maine and it heats immediately with virtually no sound. I would expect it would work well in winter as well.

Yes it will! The battery in this pack is an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat), and are capable of maintaining their charge in very cold climates. All batteries will have a lower capacity in the cold, so I would recommend keeping it inside, and fully charged for when you need it. I live in a milder climate, but even at 10 Degrees Farenheit, there is no difference in it.

I used it indoor only, it works quite well, not too difficult to configure. I doubt this will work outdoor under weather conditions. Temporarily, on clear skis day it could work.

hi there yes i think it will work, that is what we do,we live in seattle . we bring it out on nice days and put it inside at nite we plan just to leave it out during the summer

I am in NJ. So far works well even when we had snow. As long as the solar panel gets sun should be good.

The description does not say that. I think if you live under climate where the temperature do not drop under the freezing temperature it will work.

It has worked fine in the cold and I'm in North Idaho. Battery life is reduced, but that would be the case for anything that uses batteries. As far as water resistance goes, I've tried to keep it sheltered so I can't tell you.

Depends where you live. If you get snow, leave it until spring. Otherwise it should work but it needs to build heat to bresk down the leaves. Above 40 degrees for sure.

I'm in MI and it worked perfectly throughout the past crazy cold winter! Should be no problem.

We live in the San Francisco Bay area, gret here, don't know about where it snows, but probably OK. How far north? I would think a heater would be fine as long as it doesn't touch the plastic. Be sure oxygen gets in, it does have lots of windows.

Sorta depends on how much snow you get. It wouldn't work in Western Colorado. Plus it is porous, so when the ice and snow that it catches melts, the water is going to leak through and refreeze?

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.
