Do you have a Waterproof UV-A LED Lights for Water Tank Placement?
I want to put a UV light or lights in my 15-gallon freshwater holding tank to kill bacteria. Do you have any waterproof lights? Would these be able to be mounted to the top of the tank - either with adhesive or screws?
Unfortunately, our LED strip lights are not IP-rated against contact with moisture or condensation. As such, any contact with liquid may cause an electrical hazard and void the product warranty.
However, we have heard from other customers that waterproof plastic channels are useful for installations that are near aquarium tanks, which may prove to be useful for your purposes.
That said, it might be helpful to know that many channel coverings may filter out the UV-C wavelength, thereby negating any benefit. Due to this fact, we do recommend investigating specific UV-C coverings that would allow for ultraviolet wavelength transmission.
Further, we are not aware of how easy these products are to mount and there may be differences between the third-party options available.
