Can this be used with submersible fixtures? What safety features does it have?

I bought it for lights in the backyard. I cannot answer your question, but I will tell you the warning instructions stated for the best results keep out of direct weather. I have mine under a yawn ornament, but it works great.

This unit is well sealed with rubber "O" rings on all joints. It holds up well in rain and wet weather because I use mine outdoors in all conditions. But there is exposed metal circuitry inside the unit so I'm pretty sure that it is not made to be submersible. The way the cylinder is sealed will repel ambient moisture from seeping in such as rain and spray from water sports. But if you plan on scuba diving, I would choose a product specifically engineered for deep submersion. Rubber "O" rings will stop water from entering the cylinder at normal atmospheric pressure. But submersed, you have the added weight of the water around the unit witch greatly amplifies the pressure against the seals which increases with depth. The manufacturer offers no ratings on this topic and the above is strictly my assessment.

I'm a diver. This is NOT a dive light. Might survive a quick drop in a puddle, but no way I would take it diving. My interpretation of the description is that the SWITCH is waterproof. The light does not appear sealed enough to be waterproof.

I would advise against it if water went over lid. I doubt if the wiring is watertight. Unit would probably have a tendency to float.

It is not designed to be mounted inside the furnace so I don't think it is submersible. You may want to check directlly with the company though.

I have not had it completely submersed but it is sealed and other than your switch and/or splice I would think it is.

The wire gauge is 16. As it only breaks one leg of the circuit, I would recommend that you use an auxiliary 2-pole relay in conjunction with the float switch and the motor.. Yes, the switch is submersible. It has worked well for me.

Any indication that this fixture is suitable for wet locations would be a mistake. The unit is only for dry locations.

Treat it like every other floodlight available on the market. If the fixture it's being placed in is water proof, then certainly it can be used. If the fixture is not waterproof, then it cannot be used. However, there is the problem of ventilation. It requires free flow of air to cool. Otherwise it's lifetime is reduced.

Hi, even though this unit was not designed to be used that way, it passed all the necessary safety tests so we don't see any issue. Thank you so much! South Shore team

The coil and shaft are waterproof and can be used underwater. The control box and battery box are not watertight. You can get rain covers but they are not submersible. Display is backlit.

Its ideal for direct switching of pumps up to 1 HP /250V. It is submersible. I installed one and its working perfectly well.

I wouldn't try it underwater, but otherwise it's all weather :) I would agree to wrap the connection once you have it installed.

This is not a diving light; it's not submersible AT ALL. It's "weather-proof," but even the most intense rain is very different from immersion. If you immerse this light while it's energized you'll destroy it. If it gets dunked while it's turned off, you MAY be able to save it by removing the batteries ASAP and letting it cook in the sun with the battery case open for a couple days. I suspect a diving light as nice as this thing is going to cost you mega-$$$$. I wouldn't even know where to look.

The unit IS submersible but the power conditioner needs to remain dry. There's about 3 feet of cord to work with though. I'd say it's made for indoor aquarium use. Outdoor pond might give it a beating.

Fully submersibleFor use in water or out of water (comes with a priming socket)Thank you Valo Market

Absolutely! It is such a convenient fixture for that reason - one or two can use it at the same time. Just make sure you have good water pressure. I would recommend this product.
