Why is my dock light full of water and still working?
Wait 'til the water reaches the filaments, and you'll have your answer :ThumbsUp
That was easy, so Staples says. I was under the impression that incandescent type bulbs were vacuum sealed. So how can it have a leak and keep burning? Been waiting 2 years.
light bulb is not "full" of water, but agree it won't work when the h2o reaches the filaments.
put it on a gfci.
Don't touch it while its on!. Turn it off and drain water out weep holes in Edison base. (screw part). They are designed this way to let condensation to escape.
Man you learn something new every day if you listen.
As old as you are Tom, could it be one of those oil filled incandescents?
It's gotta have more than 2 wires and not be above 24v, else, I don't pretend I know.
Sure didn't know you could drain flood lamps.
They should be gaskets on the bulbs that came with the fixture.
