Are these lights IC (insulated contact) rated?

I had the same concern, didn't see the answer in the installation instructions so I assumed not.

I think these lights are rated to have contact with insulation. The lights produce very Little heart If your in doubt buy heat shields.

I have used these LED lights, both indoors and outdoors. I have examined the Spool along with the packaging...and can not find a UL seal....so I assume they are not.If you need additional Info....please feel free to ask........JIM

The box indicates it shouldn't be used in totally enclosed fixtures or "insulated air tight recessed down lights." I'm not sure what insulated air tight means in this case but if your fixture is open and ventilated if think you were good. The light itself should be great illumination wise.

I mounted them per the directions. They are not listed as ic but I ran them for two days straight with a thermal couple attached an the temp of the driver never exceeded 120f. That's well below the fire rating of all insulation. If you are really worried about it I suppose a simple disposable alum pan covering the unit should suffice.

Sorry, I don't remember. Since we installed these lights in a motorhome, we connected directly into the 12 volt system of the motorhome.

No. Have 50% failure rate over 9 mo. LED Wholesalers light are 100% ok so far, more expensive. Looks like they can't take heat.

I returned the lights so I cannot answer that question .the lights came to me defective so I returned them and didn't take the replacements I got my money back .because the labor to take them in and out just to find out they don't work was ridiculous

Hello,To be honest, I haven't used them outside yet. My fixtures outside are different than inside.

Any light fixture to be used in the shower has to be wet location rated. I don't believe these fixtures are.

These are NOT UL listed. They blew out the light socket and almost started a fire. We had to call an electrician and get a new light fixture. Proceed with caution.

Sorry for the late response. I've yet to install the lights but have inspected the fixture. It appears to be of quality design and manufacturing.

Carolyn, I had these lights outside on my railing and I did not have any problems with them. I liked them so much I am going to purchase some more.

Yes they are. There is a weather strip inside to protect the interior. I have 8 of these lights as a pathway and it get very flooded because we get a lot of rain and they are working no problem. You shouldn't have any issues. I love them, they work so well and are pretty bright.

No, not outdoor rated. They are other companies that make outdoor wire connectors that are water tight. There are also landscape lighting companies that make pressure fit boxes.

The lights are rated weatherproof (IP 65). Meaning they can be exposed to the high humidity and light moisture of outdoor use. They cannot be fully submerged, that would require our IP 67 lights. This may be an error in the listing and we will work to correct it.

Yes. i lived in the UK for a bit, understand your voltage / power system. This is a very straight forward wiring device (as most lights are) Ground wire, power and neutral. The lights work great.
