Default Pond Lighting

I think you might be looking for problems with outdoor 120 volts lights.
Especially around a pond. Most outdoor lighting is 12-24 volts. Not enough
to push the current through your body and kill.

Muffin,

That sounds way cool. Were they 120v? Yes, please send me a couple of

pics.

Thanks
Joe

PS Your lilies are growing and blooming great!

we just put 4 lengths of rope lights in our pond ( gotta get pics for

you)
my son decided this would be 'cool' so I let him go-for-it.

we 'glued' the connections together with silicone(?) let it set a couple
weeks & then we tied pieces of pantyhose with a rock in it to the lights

to
weight it down..

looks pretty *cool* but need MORE of them!!
next year we need to plan ahead before all the plants have taken over!

( I just KNOW if I go in the pond I'll trip over it!!)

I have some low voltage lighting in my pond - those little 20 watt

spots.
I'm not very happy with the result though. They light the waterfalls

very
well, but in the main pond there doesn't seem to be enough dispersion.

Has
anyone had any experience with those "rope" lights? Are they 120 volt

or
low
volt and can they go in the pond?
