Condensation in patio lights

[Lofty]

Hi all,
I've got some Robus walkover patio lights fitted into concrte (these ones can be fitted that way) and they came with low energy CFL GU10's. I've got led GU's now so the power in slightly lower 1.3W instead of 8W. The problem is condensation forming on the inside of the glass. take them out and dry them , refit and within a few mins more condensation. Any ideas how to stop this ?.

Cheers Lofty.

You need to try and seal the fitting properly ie. cable entry points and glass covers.

Hi,
That's what i thought. So have used CT1 at cable entry points and the glass seal onto a silicone ring. Funny thing is that out of 5 of them only 4 suffer the problem.

Cheers Lofty.

Not much experience in fitting them, but all the ones I have seen out and about have condensation in them. Try giving the manufacturer a ring and ask whats what.

you could always try and put magic gel in the bottoms, then put some dry rice or plaster in a bag for a night or so, to try and take out all the moisture. Then try resealing them with silicone around the bezel
