I live in a rain forest as well.
My experience with the PBSFs hasn't been quite that good. One of mine is mounted on the back of my rear rack where it is directly in line with water spray from the rear tire (no fenders on that bike). It has acted erratically several time during wet rides - not turning off, changing modes, etc. I now wrap a layer of Scotch tape around the seam in the body after recharging the batteries and that seems to have solved the issue.
