I have an LED security spotlight, 30W or so I think - it came with the house. Checking outside for damage from snow and ice today I noticed it was completely covered in ice with big icicles hanging off it... a gutter above had been dripping I guess.
I went to dislodge the icicles fearing the weight might cause issues, and then realised the interior was full to the brim of water!
Since I can't turn this off easily I figured I might as well test it now to see if it was going to blow fuses before walking past at night. It worked without any issue!
I'm not sure what to do really... guess it's not waterproof enough to be submerged! Take the front off? Toss the thing in the bin? Is it likely to go bang or should the sensor and electrics be further protected even if water is inside the main holder?
