Since these don't have a weather proof housing, why are the circuit boards not potted? Is there a heat issue?
This is the way the product is designed from the manufacturer and it has PCB board sealant over the top to prevent damage. They do not recommend customers sealing the ends, as it does trap in the heat without allowing for any ventilation.Since these don't have a weather proof housing, why are the circuit boards not potted?

I can tell you 100% that there have been several upgrades/revisions to the original product that was designed 3+ years ago.@StingerNYC
@MrSmoofy
How are yours holding up? did the issues get resolved?
I'll pass on asking StingerNick lol i think i know how he feels
Has anyone living in a snowy climate had these on for a few years with no issues?
Trying to figure out if a few people just got unlucky and/or smth went wrong in the install
or if there is a wider spread QC issue with this product
On the fence, install looks easy but id be annoyed if i need to revisit or remove it if it fails within like < 5 yrs (which some have had fail within a few months)
anyone able to confirm a few yrs of it working fine in areas that see snow a lot?
