Howard, a guy who used to be regular on here made
lights for his pond. I know he used the sealed beams
like you are planning. I also know he cut down half
gallon milk cartons to place the lights in... then, he
wired them, put the silicone around the wires, etc.He
filled up the milk cartons with a
concrete mix. After the concrete set he removed
the milk cartons. Wish my memory could
bring up more of the details. Also, I wish he
was around to correct me ....Randy, are you lurking?
Good Luck!

I was waiting for someone who had done this to reply... but

I am going to start with plain old sealed beam headlights
like all cars used form about 1950-1980. Should be under
$5 a light. For wire I am going to use the stuff intended for
low voltage outdoor lighting. I will solder the wire to the lights
and coat the joint with 100% silicone seal. To power the lights
I will use a low voltage lighting transformer. I think another
poster said they were using 20W per light but I will play around
to see what works best.

Find some way to hold/mount the lights in the pond and you are
done.

And for the lawyers out there.....
As always plug the transformer into a GFI protected outlet.

If anyone has a better idea speak up.
