Are these lights waterproof? My light fixtures are quite open.

im not sure if they are water proof, but i am not impressed with the beam of light it shines, it looks great from a distance but when i used one in my snow blower i could not see anything in the dark, it seemed to be really defused and not functional for that purpose.

I would say no. The individual LEDs of the bulb are exposed to the elements.

I would say "no." They are a bulb-iin-socket type of lamp and rely on a clean, unexposed connection. They aren't terribly rugged, their advantage over standard incandescents is the lack of fragile filaments, but they still have tiny wires that connect all of the led chips together. Keep them clean and dry!

No. They are halogen prejection And I would not get these lights honestly they leak water.

Yes. The light strips are in protective tubes, so water can't get to them. I have 4 of these fixtures, all on open top tanks. :)

The lamps are not specifically rated for outdoor use, but I have 2 of them in the ceiling outside my front door and don't expect any problems there. My opinion is that they will be fine as long as they are not getting rain-drenched. I plan to put them in my exterior flood fixtures that are kind of funnel shaped and the bulbs fit well inside them.

I do not know but the ones in the picture and description are not the lights that I recieved. The description says they are waterproof but the ones I was shipped are not.

They are outdoor lights, if that is what you are asking. Mine continues to work despite the rain.

I have changed both globes (upgraded to blue 130watt light) and both headlights are completely sealed with rubber seal therefore I believe they would be waterproof.They have waterproof plugs that plug into the supplied wiring harness

We've had a pretty wet month and I haven't noticed any moisture inside the fixture. These fixtures have been outside about six months now and they look just as good as they did brand new. Be sure you caulk around the base to prevent water from seeping into the wiring.

I havent had any issues with the one I purchased, but I know that you are not supposed to get them wet. You may want to check and see if the bulb needs to be replaced

It's water resistant, I wouldn't take it underwater though. Rain should be no problem for these lights...

Obviously the bulbs are not meant to get wet but if the bulb is completely sealed I assume these would work OK.

I'm not sure these are actually rated for underwater or how to create a true waterproof connection. In my experience the manufacturing on these is not perfect. I had one recently fill with water just sitting in the garden for landscape lighting. The most it would have been exposed to was the sprinklers and a bit of rain. Otherwise, in my case, they mostly work well as landscape uplights.

Sorry on vacation so that I cant answer. However, I will say lights are great, adhesive is horrible. Being water proof these lights are heavier and the adhesive doesnt hold....

I used them as dome lights but I am sure as long as you Dont submerse them in water they should be good. Tiny amounts of moisture won't short or damage them. And they a SMD LEDs so you can always dry them without damaging them.

They are outdoor lights but I would not buy another one. They seem to leak or something which causes them to dim when it rains.

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

They seem to be waterproof. Putout a good amount of light. The housing is a bit flimsy. They work fine.
