I would protect the box with the buttons, the rest should be safe in the rain (maybe even that is waterproof but I would still do it to be sure). make sure you recheck and hand tighten all plastic nuts that seal the wires, and having wires on a downward slope for a small distance from those nuts and not upwards should make sure water doesn't try to find a way in constantly.
That being said cold rain on a heated lamp is not so good for durability so if possible I would put a layer of greenhouse plastic film (on a frame or something) a foot or so above the lamp. That should make it super safe, and probably as durable as running it inside.

No, the waterproofing of the lights is mainly for the humidity in the planting space and cannot be exposed to rain.
