Condensation in outside light. Discussion ThreadCondensation in outside light. Electrical Advice
I have recently fitted 6 outside lights, recessed into a wall. 2 of these have started to get a lot of condensation into them. From the picture you can see it all over the inside of the cover, but there are also droplets on the inside top of the light, and also a small amount of water in the bottom of the unit.
The lights are in walls that get damp. There are no drain holes inside the units.
It does seem like condensation, but I am unsure why only 2 of the 6 are affected.
Possibly one of them may have let some water in, as it is fitted on a slightly curved part of the wall, but it did appear to be sealed when I fitted it.
The customer says they were not expensive lights.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to stop this very large amount of condensation, or, perhaps you think it is more than that, I.e water getting in?
