Expert Reply:

The LED Step/Area Light, # ILL85CB, includes a foam gasket for a weathertight seal to protect it from the elements. You would not want to submerge the light underwater. In order for something to be considered waterproof, it has to be able to be submerged under water for a certain amount of time and a certain depth and remain functional. You will also need to make sure that the wire connections are sealed by using shrink tubing or some liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122.
