NOT FOR SUBMERSIBLE FIXTURES! I did *NOT* see the question about this before buying it, and would like to know now if there's a fuse I use for this?

I know of no accessory fuse to adapt the Moonrays for use with submersible light fixtures. If you would like info straight from the Horse's Mouth, get hold of the maker's customer service at CCI Consumer product hotline 1-800-561-4321 or email questions to: consumer.service@colemancable.com.

!!! NO !!! Nor can you use a Different Wattage Lamp! Ofcourse, I guess you could take all the "Ballast Stuff" out and then replace with just a "Regular Bulb"

No electrical device that isn't rated for wet environments should be allowed to get wet. This one in particular is far to expensive to have an "oops!" with. Anyone suggesting you use it where it might get wet should volunteer to cover the nearly $300 that likely would be your loss if it shorted out, or worse the bodily harm that could happen.

No, it doesn't has a "Fuse", and I wouldn't recommend buying this product! Much better products out there for less! Read the 1-Star reviews!!

I suggest contacting Power Zone about this...the fixtures I received have 6' chords...and there was no option offered for longer...

You could I guess, but I think you can find the same light in 110 though. I just looked at the light I had in the pool before and got the 12 so I could put it in and be done, as not to have to rewire or anything. I'm not the maker/seller nor am I a licensed electrician, but if you want/need to go the transformer route I don't see an issue

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like it basically just completes the circuit when activated, so I would think you could cut the plug off and wire it in line with the cable from the battery. I don't really want to be the guinea pig that ruins a brand new float switch though.

Well, I would say yes and no...The tape doesn't really stick good first off. With some type of water proof glue you could get away with the actual light strip being pool side. Then when it comes to the strip connecting to it's power box source you would have to use some kind of water proof type like electrical tape to seal the easily exposed connect in/outlets. I hope that information helped.Good luck friend.

These units are sealed so you should be able to get creative with mounting. That being said I would not submerge the light.

I'm not sure and mine hasn't been installed yet. I can find out this week from the electrician who's coming to install this and other fixtures and write you again.

Use a 2 or 3 amp fuse. The LED current draw is negligible; the fuse will protect against a shorted wire.

Depends on the cause. Mine line my dock. It is obviously very damp near the water. If your lamps are getting splashed with water or getting moisture inside, I would solve that problem first. Mine were actually submerged under 3 feet of salt water during hurricane Sandy and all worked perfectly when the power came back on 12 days later. They were well sealed. If yours are not so well sealed, the best answer is as you suggest, replacing the whole lamp. But with as inexpensive as these are, that's not the end of the world.

Agreed in heat-shrinking waterproof butt connectors. If you're lucky, you have some additional connections to hook into the panel lights circuit. Otherwise, you'd need to splice into an existing panel light wires. As always, be careful with circuit overloading/protection.

Generally it would be a bad idea to submerge any cord connection-even if it was rated at IPX7 (1M submerged) or IPX8 (>1M). If the stock cord from the pump is not long enough you are better off having an electrician or someone knowledgeable replace the cord with a longer one. You are much safer with one continuous cord underwater than with any kind of plug/receptacle. This one is definitely NOT meant to be submerged, as the other commenter says it is rated IPX5 which means it can only withstand spraying water on it (i.e. rain falling on it, with no standing water).

unless the outdoor outlet is cover you should run a wire from inside. Getting the plug wet while it's plugged in could short out the outlet and potentially damage the lights. Hope this was helpful!

It would be foolish to run it on the wire they give you with a relay, without it would be even worse. it melted the fuseholder with the wiring it came with. Use 12 or 14 gauge wiring and a relay, it will keep the switch from wearing out, and is safer, also much much brighter.

I just plugged the lamp into average wall outlet, Not an electrical expert by any stretch. Just know I plugged it into bathroom wall outlet, didn't blow a fuse and the lamp worked. That's all I needed. I don't know what a 20AMP breaker is. As for fixture, I use a photographer's shell, for lack of a better word, an aluminum or whatever metal wide mouth cone like simple fixture because these fixtures usually have some kind of clamp attached to them for positioning.
