Absolutely waterproof submersible. The products are dry nitrogen purged in a vacuum chamber. Ambient air is drawn out and replaced with dry nitrogen, them pressure tested and sealed. Excellent in cold temperatures. Note, in cold temperatures, if the exterior lenses are a different temperature than the environment, the exterior surfaces of the lenses may generate condensation, but the inside of the system is protected.
