Just purchased this light and I don't see any sort of seal/gasket around the lens. Does your light have one? Not sure if mine is watertight or not just trying to verify before I submerge it. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
On mine I can see the lens is sealed from the inside of the lens around the edge. If you don't feel comfortable with their seal then there is plenty enough space there to run a bead of sealant around the lens to make double sure it's sealed.

I'm gonna do this too even though I have tested mine under water and had no leaks.

I haven't built the pole yet but this sucker is bright as hell and throws a wide flood beam. You can see the size of it in my hand in the last pic. It's about 50 - 60 feet to the fence.

I have built my own in the garage with parts made from China all said and done they are ok but have more than what these cost invested. Ordering 4 of the 60/0

Thanks again.

I've got a question for anyone who has ordered these lights. I ordered them over week ago and haven't got them yet. I've left three messages for the owner (Chad) to call or email me and let me know when I will get them and he hasn't answered either. Any one else had any problems with their order? Thanks

FYI, I inquired about the IP rating for the 27watt LEDs, and they responded that they are rated at ip 67, which is normally waterproof to 3' bellow the surface, but I'm sure that they would be fine after some silicone.

I got an email from the owner Chad. He's been sick and down in the bed. He's taking care of my order now. Will let you all know how they work when I get them. Thanks for the reply.

If you'll look on this thread, you'll find the link to his web site. You can order them from there and pay through paypal.

I got one of the 27 watt. I thought it worked a lot better as an above water light than a submerged light. It throws out so much light that it will work fine either way.
