Are these really waterproof? I hope the picture is wrong because it shows a regular non-waterproof LED strip.

Nope. Water will destroy these. I had these above an aquarium. The little splashes of water caused these to corrode and fail. There are water proof versions of these. I use those now.

I had the wrong link up. These are the water proof version that I use over my aquarium. These hold up well and are easy to clean. No issues with any water. The tape holds up with small amount of water as well.

I gave the to my son for a present and he has used them several places but I am not aware of hm using outside. The are very cool . He has used them behind a mirror over his bar and currently has them under a glass top beer keg as a side table.

i would say "water resistant" - they do fine in the rain, but i'm not sure how they would do if they were submerged in water! the collar is medium-weight nylon webbing with plastic hardware ... the battery and LEDs are enclosed in plastic, but may not be sealed.

yes they are waterproof to a point.. I have sank this one. it dryed and still runs. It will stop if the batt plugs get wet. This a awesome boat!!!! buy it. you will love it. The charger it comes with is junk. Get a "Losi mini peak charger". It will burn up motors if it does not have small vent holes. Heat seems WAY more dangerous than Wet on these newer boats. I even put a 30x30x10 fan in my boat. well over 1.5 years and 100 runs!! keep it cool!!- cheers, Curtis

I would not trust them to be waterproof. There is no indication from the mfg. that they are.

No. None of these are waterproof. Some of them are water resistant but only to a certain degree

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.

This LED strip is covered by clear waterproof sleeve but without any no tape on it, thanks for your interest.

im not sure if they are water proof, but i am not impressed with the beam of light it shines, it looks great from a distance but when i used one in my snow blower i could not see anything in the dark, it seemed to be really defused and not functional for that purpose.

they make led connectors. You can by then on Amazon. This particular roll is an indoor led strip with a casing over the top. Technically they're not really waterproof. If you using them inside I would take the casing off and look for the areas that you can clip with scissors.but yes they make a clip that slides over that you can add wire too

They do say that they are waterproof, where I have put mine they will not get wet. The power supply is not water proof so you would have to find a safe place for that. If you do purchase, I highly recommend the little black clips to hang them instead of the sticky back. Good luck!

Not waterproof but water resistant. Make sure you wire an in line fuse. And ground the lights to a good solid ground. I have had these lights for a few years now. Drove thru rain and some snow and they still function like they were new. No issues at all...... knock on wood

In my experience, they don't last long enough to be able to determine if they're truly waterproof or not. I think they're SUPPOSED to be waterproof, but mine stopped working within a few weeks of my putting them up. Apparently, there's SOMETHING outside that they're not "-proof" to. Good luck!

the whit set is not waterproof. the other is. corrosion can set in and destroy the connections to the leds .

They are actually waterproof. I am not sure why the description says waterproof effect.

NO However, 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.

I have these lights on my boat trailer and a couple of times last year I forgot to disconnect the lights before backing into the water and the lights still work. They have probably been submerged over 50+ times in my use and no problems. The lights are sealed where the wires enter so these will definitely hold up on a rainy day.

The lights are rated weatherproof (IP 65). Meaning they can be exposed to the high humidity and light moisture of outdoor use. They cannot be fully submerged, that would require our IP 67 lights. This may be an error in the listing and we will work to correct it.
