The majority of L.E.D lamps are termed 'sealed' and would seem appropriate for applications such as boat trailers. Sealing the lamp however is not enough to ensure a lamp is submersible, as water canstill enter the lamp via the connecting cables or via a pin hole in the sealing process as a result of 'capillary action'.

The Model 36 lamps are 100% tested after the sealing process and cables are sealed at the entry point of the lamp but it is still recommended to avoid joining the cables near the lamp or in a position where they are in contact with water. To overcome this problem the Model 36 lamps are available as a kit and supplied with 9 metres of hardwired fully insulated 4 core cable. This allows the cable connection to be at the trailer plug, an area not submerged while boats enter and exit the water.
