3 Reasons Lights and Waterproofing Don't Mix
Waterproofing seals block airflow Lights generate heat, and waterproof coatings trap that heat and moisture inside, leading to fogging or condensation.
Heat degrades waterproof membranes The heat from lights can break down the waterproof layer over time, reducing its effectiveness.
Sealed housings complicate repairs Waterproof boots with integrated lights are harder to fix when the lights fail, and replacing them often ruins the waterproofing.
