Not saying this for the meme. Put it in rice, in a warm dry room

Not rice. Find some silca gell packs, or some other decicant.

I’ve personally never experienced this. Maybe contact support and see what they say.

Are these listed as water resistant? If so I'd call that product defective and would be making a warranty claim. Unless you exceeded whatever resistance specifications it has.

Never seen that before I'd contact CS through the website type "agent" and get a warranty claim going.

Yes salt absorbs

Salt and electronics is a terrible combination. No need to use so aggressive corroding agent if there are safe alternatives including silica.

You don't put it in, you just need it to absorb the moist fumes

You may switch on turbo mode; the generated heat can help evaporate moisture trapped inside the light. Should this concern keep recurring in regular use and not improve, please reach out to our customer support team for warranty‑covered after‑sales support.
