You can get perfectly good suitable under water lights from Harbor

If you
want to attach a few under water lights up yu can cut off the plug
ends and but a suitable wattage rated xformer from any big box store
that has ouside low voltage lights of 12 volts and attach all the
wires formn the multiple lights to the replacement transformer... The
lights use standard halogen type bulbs which are commonly available.
The lights you pay $45 or more each for is not any better made nor do
anything any better than the $7.95 lights from Harbor Freight. I
have 10 of the HF lights in my pond for over 3 years and not one of
them has even leaked....And y can increase the wattage of the bulbs 9n
these lights just fine without anya problems as the wire is usfficient
to carry the load and the water keeps the heat down, but I would
suggest 10 watts or 20 watts max so they do not add a lot of heat to a
pond..
