Expert Reply:
The Optronics RV Porch and Utility Light # RVPL7CB has a full-size metal backing plate that will protect the internal electrical components from moisture but if you like you certainly can use a thin bead of silicone rubber sealant like # LT37464 (grey), # LT37467 (black) or # 0160297 (white) around the perimeter of the base to provide additional protection. Hardware stores usually carry a range of color options including clear silicone.
