Great idea and great job installing it....but the reason they don't do that is the moisture.
In time the water will corrode the fixture wire connections and I'm afraid you will be having problems with the connections. 12 volt is 12 volt and I'd also be afraid of a shock situation. Just saying.
I just added one of the thousands of different types of cheap battery operated stick ups. They corrode and I throw it out and get a new one.
I have wired 12 volt battery's up to bilge pumps attached to duck decoys using butt connectors. The line from the battery to decoy is submerged in brackish water for hours while hunting. After 5 years I have yet to have a problems with connections. I would think these lights being behind the sky light will be good for years to come. Yep 12 volt is 12 volt and the risk of shock even in water is very small.
