Argh, so this experiment needs a little more work. Over the past few days we've had a substantial amount of rain. The power supplies are doing just fine, there doesn't appear to be any moisture inside them. The spotlights, however, did have some moisture on the inside of the clear lens I siliconed on.
When I cracked open the spotlights, the water had worked its way all the way through the inside of the light and started to cause some rusting of the LED's leads.
In light of this, I'm putting this project on the back-burner as an over-winter project. I'll be re-designing them to better keep moisture out and do some more extensive testing before I announce how I made them.
In light of that, I busted the old floodlights out for yet another year of use. My electric bill is going to hate me this month.
Playing "extension cord Tetris" is fun. Trying to remember which length cord went where is the best.
