Are these waterproof? Can they be attached to a kayak using duct tape and will they remain lit if wet?

Yes, they are waterproof. Thusly, they will continue to glow if wet. They will stick to duct tape if the surface is dry when applying. I don't know for certain if duct tape will attach to kayak, that parts up to you.

There is no indication that these LED lights are either indoor or outdoor. They are low voltage/wattage and therefore should not be suseptible to outdoor temperatures. I am not sure if they are waterproof though, or what would happen if rain got into them. If they are sheltered from the elements I doubt it would be an issue.

They work outside with low voltage, however, in my situation,they are protected from direct contact with water. I suspect they would still work for low voltage lighting, even if they were occasionally wet

NOHowever, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

You will need to purchase the waterproof (IP 67) models available on Amazon or HitLights.com for full submergence. These lights will not operate under water.

The lights water resistant and very durable. They include a Gore Tex vent tube that allows for temporary water submersion up to 1 meter. Thank you, OffRoad Innovations

The LED's themselves are enclosed in a sealed plastic tube. I cannot say they are 100% waterproof, but I don't think it can get much better. I found them to be a good product and work well.

I would doubt they're "waterproof". You an disassemble them easy enough so you might be able to make them waterproof with the help of a little silicone sealant. 3M makes a silicone spray (very thing) so conceivably you could just spray each one with the 3M stuff and you're good. I will add our kids have loved these - especially at night when they're cruising fast they look really cool. Batteries lasted just under a year for us. I believe we bought a package deal that came with 3 sets.

They are waterproof if you use the correct tape. See http://smile.amazon.com/Epson-LabelWorks-Adhesive-Cartridge-LC-4WBW9/dp/B005S0KG7E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425933675&sr=8-1&keywords=epson+strong+adhesive for an example.

Absolutely not! There are waterproof toggles available but you defintely don't want to subject these to any water at all.

They are not waterproof. I put them on the front of my inflatable raft to be silly, and it only got a little wet and was nearly falling apart. The adhesive is decently strong on flat surfaces. That being said I'm not sure what it would do to your paint, but I doubt it would be a good idea to do unless you don't care about your vehicle much.

If you are going to use these outdoors, I'd recommend putting them in a waterproof enclosure. I use them quite a bit and when they get damp, LEDs fail.

I don't know about that one. I do know they are completely sealed and waterproof. I think the lights themselves would hold up well. I'm not sure about the wires though. I ended up using 3M high grade double stick tape to ensure they won't come off.

Not sure that they are waterproof, but they are submersible. I put them on my boat trailer and they work great.

No, These Lights are not water proof, and I wouldn't try using them on a boat trailer.

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.

I wouldn't suggest it, they aren't waterproof just water resistant. I'm almost positive they would get wet and short out and possibly pose an electrical hazard to you and your fish. They do make submersible led lights for your aquarium tho. I have some and they're worth the few extra dollars. Your local pet store probably has them for about $20. Hope this helps
