Just curious what lumen and length cord did you order?
I like the green underwater lights, but scared to have one hardwired to A/C with kids swimming around it. 12V may be the answer.

I made two of these with led strips wrapped around PVC and covered with clear pipe. I put them off my uncles dock at smith and within two hours you could see stripe running through the middle of it. It was neat!! I've taken some before and fished stick ups at lay at night a caught a mess of crappie.

How deep are you running your light?

The one I used had only a 15 foot cord but it is only 14 feet off the end of my dock so it worked fine. I ordered one just like the one I used in the pic and another one that has a 50 foot cord that cost about $25 more than the other one. I had fish showing up within an hour after dark and they remained there throughout the evening.

My wife is horrified about having a big green monster light off the dock in fear of getting shocked while swimming so this is definitely the route I needed to take. It will operate on a fully charge battery for 10-12 hours too.

That's the way to do it Muzzie. I don't like the AC's either. I've seen them with insulation worn off when they were left in the water after drawdown. Some that are pulled in are just thrown under the house or left on the dock. I'm sure they are never examined when they are put back in the next year.

Two ladies were just electrocuted off a pier in lake Tuscaloosa a couple weeks ago, be carefull. Someone recently came out with a current detector that has an alarm and auto shut off when it detects open current.

A buddy of mine lives on Lay and has one. The bream pile up to it at night.

It's only 12volt so you don't have to be concerned about getting shocked.
