5.1 Waterproof Design

The Gamalta Aquarium Light features an IP68 waterproof rating with 3 layers of waterproofing, including glue-filled lamp beads and an acrylic baffle. This design prevents water vapor from entering and extends the product's lifespan. While the light is well-sealed and can be fully submerged, it is recommended to keep the controller and power adapter dry.
