I waited a few weeks of use before giving my opinion. In the end it is a great product at unbeatable quality / price. Without returning to its manufacturing qualities, the power of its lighting or its ease of installation, I would point out only that I positioned the mine without protection against rain. Bilan, no problem. The product is certified IP44, so it can be subjected to rain (not immersed but certainly a little water will not hurt it). Most garden lights are IP44, so used outdoors without protection against rain. A drawing in the instructions can indeed be confusing and it is also not very clear. If ever a leak worries were to happen I will return amend my review ...
