IMO nothing electrical is "moisture restiant".

ive had some PCs over a reef tank for something like 2.5 years with a glass lid and the lights lifted up 2-2 1/2". there is no visible damage to the end caps pr anything for that matter. i think the SW environment is harsher than anything we see in vivariums.

are you mounting them over screen or glass?

they will most likely be over glass while the screen will be ventilated out the back through pipe.

Dialectic grease is good for 12V DC what will happen if I seal it with that on AC? I dont want a fire hazard.

Encase the plugs in silicone, ive had this problem on all my saltwater tanks, plug bulb in and silicone all of, not the bulb though.. stay on plastic all the way back to wires, try not to run till dry!
