Do these lights hold up if you live near salt water?

I can only say that it's a good product. There doesn't appear to be any components that will rust easily, but I live in a dry climate so I can't say for sure.

they are not exposed, but you do need to have glass between the light and the salt water.

I have mine in a marine environment, in my boat with no problems for three years, wouldn't recommend installing them in direct sunlight. Make sure you order them in white.

I've had these in for a year and a half now and they seem to be hold up great. I think that 5 years would be easily possible as long as they aren't being tripped over. Lights are as bright now as when new.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)

These lights are water and weather proof..my daughter has not had a problem with them during this winter weather we have experienced this year. I hope this helps you make the decision to buy these lights; my daughter loves them and haven't had any complaints!!

I have four of these lights on my boat and they work just fine. Brightest lights I've ever had on the boat and they draw hardly any current.

I purchased these to be used for normal lighting (i.e. ceiling lighting). I have never used them under water. Given the how these are made, I really doubt that they are made to be used under water. I would be careful.

These lights are not meant for outdoor use, as they are not sealed to keep moisture out. You may be able to use them under an overhang where they are protected from the weather but they wouldn't last long where I live in New England.

I believe so. The lights themselves are not water resistant, but there should be a layer of rubber-like protective coating that should keep the lights from getting wet. I would not trust these to last long outside in the weather but if they were to get damp or slightly wet it shouldn't be a problem.

I believe they would. I am useing them for lights on my pier. They seem to be real durable.

I haven't had any problems driving in the rain with them, I have actually submerged them to load a boat on my trailer and they are still working fine. they are also really bright, I'm very happy with them, only problem I had was the plate holder was cheap plastic and broke so I mounted the plate to the fender but the lights are great

I use these outside and haven't had any trouble with water I also added the wireless dimmer and haven't had any troubles either. This is the brightest they come

I have been using these lights in two locations for well over a year (in southern Calif). They are holding up well albeit we are in a drought. They have held up with the little bit of rain we have had (about 7 inches last year).

You can leave them on the string. I bought mine this summer. I live by the ocean. Lots of wind and storms. They've been outside for months. work great. They are well made for outdoor use. Don't forget to get a dimmer.

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.

I can't say what is best I. Your circumstance. The lights are a half circle with adhesive on the flat side. The adhesive isn't the best to use around water or anything in motion as the lights can separate from the surface they are adhered to.I did mount the lights in my live well; I mounted them to the horizontal side and went over he top with clear Duct Tape. They have done quite well. I left the tape about 3/4 to 1 inch beyond the lights themselves.
