How is the light holding up? Is it water tight? Any problems with condensation? Will be puting on 07 Jk...

no problem at all man I installed on my rig went out when it was raining hard through mud lakes and dirt mud roads. this light is great for the price. definitely competes with rigid industries light. if you wire it right it will light up the night and the road you ar on I will provide a wiring diagram how I wired my jeep up

Hi, no problems. everything is fine. It has a good ligth but not as good as the over $1,000 better quality ones. but performs great for my use in offroad.

Following back up on here about this. No issues still. Had mine installed in Feb. Took all the gaskets out and RTV siliconed them and put the gaskets back in. I think that's what has saved me. It is still bright and works great!

Its good its a good buy only thing is I feel it to be not as bright as I though but then again I just wanted to compare this to a 2000 dollar one

It's been awesome. Haven't had any problems with condensation. It's freezes here at night at it'll turn right on in freezing conditions.

It's holding up great so far, live in Wyoming strong winds and rain / snow, ( water tight so far ), it is very bright, it's mounted on the roof of a 2013 raptor

It is doing well... Water tight. No condensation. I only wish the "spot" portion went further. I kind of have a dim spot past my OE headlights in the center because the flood portion works so well

The unit as has been noted does have an O-ring seal but to make it even more water-resistant, I add some electrical tape. I have replaced the batteries supplied by Planet with lithium-ion batteries that should last just about forever. I have also coated the contacts with ProGold G100 to protect against contact corrosion. Finally, I only mount the light when I'm about to ride. Otherwise it stays in the house.

It has a decent O ring on the barrel. I'd say it's safely water resistant for normal use, but I wouldn't dive with it. It's a great light!

Haven't have that problem. I've taken my car through the car wash five or six times no water and you have to make sure that the rubber Is sealed behind the light.

I've never gotten it wet enough to know... but the design seems that it would be fine. Keep in mind it's also designed to be used in off-road biking applications: think streams, mud, etc. I wouldn't hesitate using it in the rain. Don't know if you've ever had a light before, but I upgraded from their 100 Lumin. This one is incredible.

No. Don't get it wet. It needs to be compliant with FL1 standards. You need to spend about $30 more to get a good waterproof light. But believe me it's worth it!

The light works fine (for about 6 months now), and is installed on the underside of the soffit on the rear corner of my house, and get rained on often, with no issues so far

Doing further research on the light it does mention that it is waterproof and skid proof but examining my light itself here is what I can say. There are thin rubber seals like those found in waterproof watches in the tail cap and the bulb cap. I can't say how well it stands up in real conditions but I have run it under the faucet and no water leaked through the tail or bulb cap. The telescoping part is the only concern I have if using it under long periods of time in rain

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

I bought 2 sets of these lights, have them up now for 3rd year. I saw a couple of negative reviews back then, but mine are still functioning fine, in harsh Michigan winters. The tubes are sometimes fogged up when it rains, but they just dry out. (The slight amount of heat from the LEDs when running will do it -- sunshine dries it out faster.) That said, they arrive with no directions for assembly. It's not difficult to assemble, but one should be careful putting the connectors together; a small drop of lube on the connector nuts will help. They're keyed to be obvious, & I put 2 light sets on 1 controller/power supply, with the add-on extension cable, included. I bought 2 sets of these lights, have them up now for 3rd year.

I've had this hood and light set up for over a year now and the condensation has built up in there and is causing the the light to not easily work well. I have to wiggle the switch to cause the light to come on fully. I would consider the approach posed by Glen A. Marcus when my light finally goes out. If you decide to go with this option than I would suggest checking it on a regular basis to been sure yours doesn't build up condensation. It does help out to remove the plastic piece and wipe it off regularly if you do experience condensation.

I have had mine for like 3 months now and it has been through some pretty good storms and still going strong!! only thing the Base does not come with a seal but a little clear silicone around it does the trick !! I would buy this light again!!!! Very Bright and the Sensor works great..

I dont know what you have in mind but it looks like mine is doing fine so far. No fogging at all. But I wouldn't expect it to last if it were fully submerged, eg. backing a trailer into a boat launch.

Mine has been installed for over a year with no problems. It is a quality unit. Only issue I've had is the small bolts that allow you to tilt the light are tight but over time vibration will tilt the light. Looking at buying a second light same as the first. I recommend this light bar.

The light seals into the housing tightly. I have had mine rained on many times with no issues, I am not sure about sprinklers if the water comes from an upward angle but I think everything would be fine.

I have had my lights for over a year and have left them out all year and haven't had any issues other than condensation buildup

I've worn it in light shower through my 15 minute walk to work. During that time the battery compartment has kept water out. But I would probably add a little non adhesive silicon seal in the battery seams for extra protection. The lamp part appear well sealed to handle heavier rain.
