Default Pond Lighting

Hmm, the discussion about the voltage gave me another idea, although I'm
hopelessly challenged electricity-wise:

We have some deck lights on vertical surfaces to light the various deck
steps (3 sets). The lights must be fairly waterproof, since we have
hurricanes here, but I don't know if they'd be suitable for use underwater.

The lights are connected to a Malibu Intermatic(?) transformer. It mentions
120v input & 12v output.

We'll get you "enlightened" yet! ;-)

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?

Also, if I move my spot lights out of the pond and have them shine down
into the water, will that give a better effect? What I really want is just

a
"glow" in the pond.

Any other lighting tips will be gratefully accepted.


Thanks

Joe
