They can be used with LED lights to form a waterproof seal between the bulb and hardware. These have also been used for body piercings that often require a stopper of this sort, tattoo equipment, paint guns, bicycle & Industrial parts. Use to fit over items that are 6mm to 8mm in diameter. All O-Rings are considered gaskets or waterproof seals. They have many uses.
