For this low hanging fixture I would use splash guard. You don't want saltwater get on your reflectors, it is very hard to get them clean. Also splashing water might cause hot bulb to crack.

Yeah, you should use splash guard!!
I'm looking for a new TekLight. Where did you get yours, please? Grandis.
