Can this light stay submerged in 1 ft of water

I reworked the 10 or so I bought with silicone sealant and use them for ocean underwater diving lights - good to 50'+ for extended times. As-is right out of the box I find the quality a bit variable. If you get a well sealed one it should handle being a couple of feet down indefinitely. If you want to add some insurance, get a tube of clear 100% silicone sealant and make a bead around all the joints. Note - water will wick up the wire/cable and into the housing on this and probably all other underwater lights, so be sure to keep the end of the wire (to which you make your connection to the 12v power source) out of the water. =) I reworked the 10 or so I bought with silicone sealant and use them for ocean underwater diving lights - good to 50'+ for extended times.

Hi! This light did not stay submerged in the little fountain I used it in. It needs more weight.NancyL

Our lights are 100% waterproof (rated IPX-7) up to 1 meter deep and float on top of the water when inflated. If there are any other questions/concerns, please reach us at orders@luminaid.com and we would be happy to help!Thank you,Team LuminAID

These lights will handle brief submersions in water. I have them on a mud truck that see 3-4ft of water and mud from time to time. When first purchased I installed them on a Polaris ranger which spent a lot of time in the swamps here in south Louisiana. They never were under water for more than 30 seconds at one time but have been as deep as 2 feet during our last hurricane. Not a single issue and have been well worth the money.

I only went 8 feet deep. I have it for emergencies and not for regular submersive use like diving. I think you might want a more specialized flashlight for a specific use underwater, however, it has not leaked yet. It is great in the rain!!! LOL

The light operates at a voltage which is safe (12V), even if the light develops a fault. The light has to be submerged otherwise the driving electronics will overheat and fail.

They did a fair job of making it underwater capable, but I would not say its not a real underwater light. If I was to put them in a fountain I would probably add a layer of hot glue over the joint between the lens cap and the body, and over the entry point of the wire. And even then I would remind myself of how cheep they were to just replace if they flood.

Is not a "dive light" per se. Probably could get away with snorkeling, but it's really about floating and working submerged, like unfowling a prop on a boat or something like that. That's why I bought it and have it on my boat.

As others have answered, I do not know if it is waterPROOF, not having immersed it; however, I believe it to be somewhat water resistant. The o-ring seal between the head and battery compartment assembly is only tight when the flashlight is turned on (twist head slightly counterclockwise from battery end). It wouldn't make a diving light anyway. None the less, this is a great light, do not let water concerns stop you.

I cannot answer as to whether the light is waterproof or not but I do not hesitate to use it in wet conditions. There is an o-ring between the battery and bulb sections which seems to keep moisture out of the light.

If I remember correctly, the switch box is roughly 1" deep. I suppose it could be mounted anywhere that's waterproof, but this light just doesn't throw much light. I doubt you'll be happy with it.

Short answer is yes. The light is sealed around the edges under the aluminum frame to prevent water intrusion. Should moisture collect inside the light due to condensation from temperature fluctuations there are three drain holes, including the access for the on/off switch on the lower most part of the light, to allow moisture to drain. Weatherproof is a better word to describe it. Because if the light were to be completely submerged it would take on water. With that said, I never noticed any water in my lights. I hope this helps.

I would say around an hour. My problem with the light was flooding. I know of at least 6 of these lights that flooded. It lasted 5 or 6 dives...

I use it indoors as a fixture for fluorescent lights for my reptiles. I agree with Carolyn L that it would be ok outside away from water.

I know it's water resistant; not sure of water proof, which I would imagine would allow it to be immersed in H2O. Best light I own, and have had it for years! Worth the price.

Hello,sir, the underwater light is not really for using under water directly. they are just named for that. but it is really used for fountain. however, you need to prepare a 23V power supply. and then extend the cord and connect it to the power supply. Then use a transparent or glass cover to protect it from water. so that it can have a long lifetime underwater. you can refer to the fountain lights in squares or parks.

The short answer is ..no ...this flash is not water proof if submerged in water .

These units are sealed so you should be able to get creative with mounting. That being said I would not submerge the light.
