The description says waterproof, has anyone placed these lights in (or around the edge of) water?

I wouldn't submerge these in water permanently. A strong rain or being temporary submerged isn't a problem as long as it's not cracked from what I've seen.

I think it's probably water resistant if it were to be rained upon. There is a battery compartment on the bottom and one of mine got a little moisture from some water run off on my patio. Not enough to harm it but you couldn't put it in water and should be careful that you don't have water seeping under it.

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.

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

Just drill a big enough hole for the wire to go through. Then simply put the wire through and silicone the hole on front and back side. Line them up and screw them in. Lights work great. Just make sure you have them mounted below the water line:)

yes, but you will ruin the waterproofing. these are the standard rgb lights in some sort of silicone casing. very annoying as they are difficult to mount and would be near impossible to rewaterproof...

Yes. I have installed these lights on a wall or pole with the mounting bracket I always use a waterproof box for the electric connection.

I have them IN lanterns as well but under a roofed area. I don't recommend leaving them out where they can get wet. The bottom (where the batteries go) is not water proof.

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 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.

I put mine on just under the gunwale facing outward. They give plenty of light out and down. Clean the surface really good and you should have no problem. I put mine on last October and they are fine. No where has the strip come loose despite being on the water numerous times, trailered, and sitting outside over the winter.

I wouldn't consider them waterproof. They are made to replace a bulb in a fixture , not to be exposed to the elements.

The package and user manual does not indicate anywhere that they are water proof, but they very slim, light work great and worth every penny. My guess that they are not water proof.

I am not sure how weather proof they are, the battery is on the bottom of the candle and I doubt that the battery cover is water proof. This may be something you need to ask the manufacturer.

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

The first time I bought these lights, they were perfectly fine, the came in a black box. They were waterproof. There is a new version that comes in a white box. I bought this version the second time and within 1 week I had water inside of them.

my lights have been installed outside (in Florida) for approx. 10 months and they seem weather proof.............I am not sure what you mean by DO THEY OFF LIGHT FOR AT LAST (LEAST?) 10-15 FT.................there is just enough dim glow to let you know that something is there...........
