In the end, it's up to each individual as to what they use & their risk tolerance. I simply try to put the safety info out there and it's up to the reader to decide. I'm sure there are plenty of clip on lights being used around water and thankfully you don't hear about too many tragic stories. But armed with some knowledge & common sense, it's to your advantage to err on the side of safety when it comes to electrons & water.

You can still use your clip on somewhere around the house I'm sure. Essentially any light fixture that's around water or in a damp location as a minimum should adhere to the IP65 requirement. If you do a search on that, you'll find plenty more info.
