do not use silicone to "waterproof" your connections
as its bound to fail.....


I used aquarium silicone to waterproof the connections on the headlamp turn
pond light I made, it's been almost 2 years now. So far so good. Obviously
YMMV. (Your mileage may vary)

Ordinary silicone (RTV) is not suitable for electrical connections due
to the acetic acid that is part of the cure cycle. While aquarium RTV
is better, the best would be any of the GOO or GOOP adhesives,
especially those designated for underwater use - Plumbers or
Electricians.
