2 days ago i was trying to organize some light cords etc. i accidentally yanked the power cord for the Chihiros A-Series Light causing it to fall into the tank while still powered and light, it was submerged for about 5-10 seconds before i was able to pull it out , all the while it was still bright as it was before it went scuba diving :),.
The next light cycle it worked flawlessly and is still doing so. Note to self , unplug and remove all electricals in future.
That sounds kind of dangerous. :)
I have a GFI on my electrical circuit and have always wondering if it would actually cut the power if I dropped my light in my aquarium.

There is a GFIC on all outlets where my aquariums are plugged in.
Everything electrical in my tanks is GCFI protected. Having said that I accidently knocked one of my Finnex 24-7 lights into one of my tanks while illuminated and it didn't trip the GCFI and it didn't extinguish either. I guess they are well sealed because I'm sure my fish would have felt it if not. When I designed my room I put in a dedicated circuit for my aquariums only and all are protected with GCFI, it's the safe way to go.
glad to know that they still work after a little water. Keep us updated on it to see if it still works after a week or so.
