How should outdoor light fixtures be weatherproof?

Weatherproof Outdoor Light Fixtures

Outdoor light fixtures should be purchased new, as that will ensure they meet all of the latest safety standards. The ballast should be tight and flush so that no water can seep in and cause a shock hazard. If it is not tight enough, weatherproof sealant can be purchased for a nominal fee and easily applied. Waterproof light bulbs and light switches are also available and can be a last line of weather defense.
