I'm guessing that the remote isn't waterproof, so can anyone tell me if it will work when it's sealed in a plastic bag or some transparent enclosure?

It should work in a plastic bag or transparent enclosure that's not really thick walled. My TV remote works in a plastic bag.

No, it is not waterproof. The remote itself, however, is waterproof to a depth of 3 meters (10 feet). I am an underwater photographer and have experimented with a number of different configurations, none of which have worked well at depths of 30'-60'.

no. neither piece will be unless you make the in-line water proof. stick the remote in a zip lock bag if your worried about water on it.try plastic-dip for tools on the in-line receiver.the ends are open so water will pass thru them. you could try to seal those to make it water proof.its in heat shrink tube and plastic zip strips on the wires only.

It happened to me twice. Had to force it out using thin long pliers. With some luck and care, you won't break the remote. Good luck.

Sounds like the remote has a software problem that is affecting the battery. Try updating the firmware first then test it out with a new battery replacement.

The remote was in a little recess in the styrofoam packaging. You should send it back for exchange.

Are you saying the remote would not work? Or the unit itself? The unit gets plugged into the wall socket. If the remote won't work, I would contact the company.

No. It is definitely not waterproof. It is no different in its construction than a TV remote.

You can use out out of water, but I'm not sure why you would. The remote has to have a clear shot at the receiver which is located about halfway up the power cable.

Welllll, we have this problem too. I called the company and got a new remote and it still didn't work all the time. We put a titanium battery in and it's now working all the time but I really don't know if that's why.

Seems like it SHOULD work as long as the build is protected in water tight enclosure. It is not a bright as a regular incandescent, but it is cooler and should be bright enoughespecially for dim lighting conditions. Don't drop the remote control in the water.

The question if it's waterproof is not likely. If it was mine, I would either put it in a small zip lock bag and then it would still work and stay clean or I'd put a very small bead of clear silicone sealer around the seam, but there is the issue of the button which could be covered with electrical tape. If it shorts out due to water with the battery inside you stand the risk of damage. Good luck

Try replacing the batteries. If this does not work, contact customer service for replacement of remote under warranty.

I can't say if it will or won't work. I can tell you that I don't consider it to be a quality remote.

The battery has a plastic protective coating that will prevent the remote from working if not removed before use. Steve.
