Do these have to be wet to light up?

The ones I was sent, yes they needed to be wet. There was no switch like indicated.

They are safe with sprinklers. However, the light is way too bright. They are ok looking.

If you use them above the shower on the ceiling I would think they should stick just fine or you could screw in to secure them even better. I do no think the actual lights are waterproof so I would not put them in the shower where they could get wet.

I have no idea if these are waterproof but I would suspect that they are not. They are bright enough to light something but I believe that I would bite the bullet and buy a light designed for underwater use.

Should be no problem being waterproof but expect only a soft glow from this model. If you need a brighter source of light I would suggest a different, waterproof model.

No, its hydro powered so just the water running through when its on makes the lights work. :-)

Sure you can, they are 10 watt each. However these lights can't be used underwater as advertised. I have several and did get some replacements because they are not designed to work underwater. You need to encase them in something that I have not found yet. They mainly leak around the electrical grommet.

I don't think so. But would not take much to do so, the back of the lights come off and don't know if the front clear plastic is glued good enough to keep water out after being submerged. I don't see why you cant water proof them. And be easy on mounting them, easy to crack. But vary nice led lights, worth the money.

Since they are battery operated, I have not tried to do that... altho that would be beautiful if it worked. There are openings in the bottom which the switch is and the batteries go, I think if submerged in water may null the battery and LCD lights. Good Luck!

I got two of them and one of the lights didn't work right out of the box. I don't think they are water. Resistance

These are not waterproof so they would have to be protected from moisture and yet still get adequate ventilation. Other than that, yes, they fit standard sockets and if wired for 12 Volts will provide very nice lighting. I use mine in a boat and though the environment is harsh by home standards I have no problems with them.

They are. I have mine outside and they do fine. Not very bright as the moment though, but I'm in Oregon where it gets dark so early. They were a bit brighter when I first got them, earlier in the year, and I expect them to do very well this summer.

Yes water needs to flow before the lights go on. The lights tell water temp so no water no lights. It pretty pretty good too.

They have wire in them and make of paper like material and it has to land somewhere... also they are hard to light so on beach usually is breezy so not sure you would be able to get them lit. I would not recommend them on beach...

No they are not. The light has an amber glow and they are more dim in general. They're beautiful but not good for task lighting or as your main source of light in a room. I use them in my master bath over my whirlpool tub; they're perfect for a relaxing soak.

I think they are rather bright. I do have mine fully submerged and have had to problem with them not being water proof. I have mine slightly angled into the rocks so it isn't as bright.
