Magiclight MJ808 dunk test

This is a waterproof submersion test of the Magicshine MJ808 bike light.
The battery has been specially treated with Plasti Dip and is fully watertight.
The light head is standard with no modifications.

The purpose of the excercise was to test the Plasti Dip treatment of the battery and to test whether the light head is in fact waterproof.
While the battery didn't show any signs of leakage, the light head did in fact allow a small amount of water to enter. This was evident when opening the light to inspect it afterwards.

The good news is that after drying it out, the light is still functioning perfectly with no noticeable side effects.

Under normal riding conditions, the light would not be subjected to being fully immersed in water.

I will leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions about this affordable little bike light.

Disclaimer:
Do not try this yourself. It is potentially dangerous and you will void your warranty by attempting this.
The MJ808 bike light was not designed to be submersion-proof and I make no claims whatsoever that the light would be able to survive being submerged in water.
