Are these IC rated? Also, since they're installed without cans/housing, would they pass electrical inspection?

I do not know as i put mine in a can. I do have the customer service number and email. They should be able to clarify for you. Customer Service US (302) 538- 2028 email - info@selsled.com Good luck

They are not necessary, but I have found that the voltage feels stronger without them, even on the lowest setting. So, it can be done, but it might be too much "zappage".

The LED chips on mine are clear potted into the white plastic base. The pwr leads seem to be molded into the bases also. That said, ultimately the mfg should specify if they are indeed water rated- resistant or proof? Sorry I cant offer more info, it didn't seem like these had a data sheet when I received mine. What I can tell you is on 13VDC SLA battery these are rather bright, two modules (6 LED chips) will moderately light up a smallish dark room. They should do reasonable well for sign backlighting given enough modules are used. Their CRI I would guess to be in the high 70's -low 80's as they seem to look to be 7000plusK.

I believe they cannot be installed where they would be in contact with insulation. You should install these lights in 4" cans that are rated for insulation. I do not know of any way they are able to be installed without proper cans.

We installed them outside on a covered porch . So far, everything is ok. They are not "enlosure" rated so don't use them in an enclosed shower can.

No they do not. But I'm a professional installer and the failure rate of DEI product is less then 1%. So I wouldn't worry about it.

IC rated, but not to be used in direct contact with spray foam insulation, per manufacturer specifications.

They are marine rated. Meaning they will survive in a wet environment. They are not waterproof per say. I have them in my motorcycle fairing. Not all that pleased with the sound so far. Looking at other speakers currently.

Pending if they are weather proof/safe. its not plug type, its split wire type. Just just to say for when you get those speacks

You have to be more specific about your problem. Is it plugged in correctly? Is there any visible damage? Did they ever work, or are they new?

No issue with them yet. If there were, I think I would replace it with one rated for the next higher voltage. This use to happen with some TV's I use to repair, that was the fix. Good luck.

I do not know that answer, but I havebthe same issue. It's like they are on a "low" setting. I'm wondering if a resister is needed in line to eliminate that issue?

Yes. I guess there is still ghost current on some circuits. Had to pull them out of a ceiling fan due to this. Haven't tried them anywhere else yet.

It's not IC rated. The light housing does get hot and the instructions state that 3" of space must surround the housing. They are good lights and I'm happy with them. Use a 3-1/4 " hole saw for the cutouts.

I mounted them per the directions. They are not listed as ic but I ran them for two days straight with a thermal couple attached an the temp of the driver never exceeded 120f. That's well below the fire rating of all insulation. If you are really worried about it I suppose a simple disposable alum pan covering the unit should suffice.

Yes they are. I didn't see any wires or batteries. Just mine didn't work from day one so I wouldn't buy it again.

Sorry, but I haven't taken them out since there were installed so i have no idea what the insulation situation is right now. To be honest i never thought of it.
