I bought quite a few of these and im still getting shorts. Every plug was sealed, every exposed outlet plugged, plugs were elevated off the ground to shed water, dielectric greased potentially problematic connections, and it still shorts every time it rains, even in light rain. Honestly no products can effectively protect your display from the elements because the points of failure in a large display are in the thousands. Dont throw money at an unsolvable problem. Keep your display off in the rain.
They really haven’t been tested yet. However we are expecting some significant rain this week so we’ll see.
The gaskets worked wonderfully during the rain we received and my Christmas lights stayed on.customer service was excellent.if you buy these gaskets you won’t have any worries about your lights tripping the circuit breaker during snow and rain.
Have been wrapping my cords in plastic wrap for years - looks bad and a pain when the season ends. These are awesome will be buying more next year for all my plugs!
I'm not a professional holiday light setter, but I loooove to decorate for the holidays. I hated to decorated for days to just see it all of it go down when the rain came. I just could not keep all the connections dry not matter what I used to cover them. But this year for Halloween I tried the gaskets and they worked great. Had a few strong rains and the lights still turned on with zero issues. I'm planning to buy more gaskets for sure :-) I will recommend this product to everyone!!! I do wish they were more affordable }-:
Excellent product every outdoor decorator needs them They are easy to use effective and worth every penny!!
These work great. I have several outdoor lights that I would have to tape with electrical tape so the GFCI would not trip, problem solved.
I have received my order, no issues. I will need to do a review on the product around Dec.1th once I use them.
Did not like the idea of plain recepticals on outdoor lighting. I've seen no objective testing of this product but I just feel better knowing that water intrusion is at least being resisted. Cheap peace of mind.
these are awesome...needed them for my Christmas lights setup work great for connecting the sections of lights and for terminating the connections with no risk of water intrusion. Is way easier then taping the line or using expensive plug covers.
Normally every year I used ziplock bags or tape to cover all my plugs. This year I ordered these to try and they worked great. It rained and everything was fine. I wish I had these years earlier.
So far gaskets working well between plug connections. I have some white lights that are up year round. The problem I run into is plugging 2 prong lights into a 3 hole extension cord, the plastic plug ends are designed to snap off the third prong and reused by itself it needed. I can't get them to break off cleanly, the top ends up being too big to fit as a fill in with a 2 prong plug, it will push the plug away from the extension, so you don't have a tight connection anymore. There is not enough room for the third prong cap, it is too big to fit flush. I've tried filing them down and trimming them with no luck. A short video on how to trim these to fit and with what tool would be helpful.
Recent purchase for this year. Bought both the plastic plug and silicone gaskets. Had a good rain and my xmas display shorted out.
