As in the title, a short question: Will sunlamps still explode, if they are under no roof in the rain?

The answer is yes, just like a battery left in the rain

You can put sunlamps under a 1-tile roof, but it's kinda moot. Plants do not grow at night, so those lamps are specifically only good for growing indoors.

Thanks for your answers :)
Yeah, I know, that it doesn't work to grow plants at night.
I set up my growing zones outdoors, and when I had toxic fallout, I built walls around the growing zones, roofed it and put sunlamps in the zone. Now, where the fallout is gone, I unroofed the zone and turned the sunlamps off (they don't explode when switched off).
I can't afford hydroponics yet (too power hungry). If I get a toxic fallout again, I will roof the zone and reactivate the sunlamps.
