Anybody who did this will tell you it is not simple. The conductor, the
glue, and the fixture work against each other and there is always some
leakage. Totally waterproof passthroughs are very hard to make without
some hi-tech materials and some machining. Otoh if you just want to keep
the rain out, go for it.
