I am looking at mounting them on the flat area (floor) at the front of my pontoon. Can they withstand being stepped on?

Thank you David. I haven't completely figured out where I want to put it on the pontoon. How well is the unit watertight? If the unit was mounted close to the water do you think it would get any water inside? Thanks again.

Yes, it is very well designed. To step on and break this light, it would have to be a very heavy set person wearing a hard sole shoe. With bare feet or soft sole shoes, to break this light, they'd have to be so large that I doubt they'd be venturing out to an area on your boat that you would mount it. I mounted it on the side of my boat so I can't speak from experience but it is very solidly built.

we originally purchased them to mount on the front floor but after receiving them they really will not work like that - the light would shine more up than out and I wouldn't want to trust them withstanding being stepped on. But I will say after getting them I was glad we did they look great on the side panel and the wire was easy enough to move from the old lights mounted on the front (that had taken alot of abuse) and move to the side. Very happen we purchased them and are up and running.

I think they would. They have a pretty secure fit, but I don't think they would survive. They have a fairly delicate construction.

If you are adhering them to a very clean, flat surface, they should hold up okay. My concern, as you said, is if they get wet. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in them if they DO get wet as they're not really made for that. You could always use epoxy or a small screw to adhere them to the surface and that would likely rectify the issue of them potentially getting wet. Check your local home depot or lowe's, they probably have something better for your application than this.

As long as you are on flat ground, keep in mind they are not for weight bearing. I did not like them and actually threw them away.

Yes, I mounted mine on a side panel of my pontoon boat. Use stainless screw, washer, and lock nut to secure.

As long as they are protected from water I see no reason why they couldn't be mounted sideways. They are easily mounted and should be fine.

I can't say for sure, but I think they are sturdy enough that it should be okay! I pounded mine in with a sledge hammer (gently).

Yes, they can be mounted these speaker are very light weight as well. @carl

Ideally You will want them 6-12" off of the ground, but if you do not have a wall anchor, that is ok too. I have them mounted on the ground. I laced them through kettle bells so they are on the ground level. They are still affective.

No. Unless they are at foot level. Big winds, snow and ice have not damaged mine. But they are attached under my roof overhang.

They will bolt to any flat surface. You must be able to get to both sides. Simply drill 2 holes and the step clamps on to the flat surface.

Provided you have a suitable flat base to bolt them on, you can. These are waterproof. I'd recommend to install them with the cable facing down and yse a weather proof switch too.

Yes they will...be careful not to overtighten the screw when mounting. The plastic will "break" if you tighten them too much.

These are sturdy and durable. If the are mounted to a stud with sturdy screws it should be no problem.

Yes, I have them screwed on top of my posts on a flat surface. I would caution you that these lights aren't very reliable. I bought 4 about a year ago - now only 2 light up

They will hold up to 50 lbs so you should be ok. Put the screws into a stud or use an anchor.

They don't appear to be. I have mine in a bottom mounted configuration, and there is some flexing of the casing with only a few pounds of load. I suspect they wouldn't hold nearly the rated weight without problems that way.
