I and a friend have also taken these floating 12-volt fishing lights

from
Walmart. They have a styrofoam case that makes them float, light

facing
into the water. You just wire them into your 12-volt landscape lights.
Easy to do. The lights sell in the 5-8 dollar range. MIKE


Ok, I grabbed one of these lights (They do look like easy pond lights!)..
any resource for the 12 volt adapters though? The cheapest thing at

Lowe's
was $40 or so...

Should've picked one up while you were at Wally World -- $40 there will

get you
a kit with ~20 lights, a 12V transformer, and a few other odds and ends.
Should be able to score just a transformer for well under that. Just ask

where
the "landscaping lights" are.


I already have solar lights, so don't need (or want) the low wat lights..
they are a pain to setup, and maintain. (Last set we had always seemed to
have some problem, and the way the lights hooked up to the wireing was a
nightmare!)

Solars are *so* much better.. just pop them into the ground, and forget
them. Plus, if you want to redo your lighting, there's no hassle at all. (we
actually re-arrange our lights every few months.)

so I really just need the 12 volt transformer.
