I didn't install it. The house came with it. I know it's a long thread and it's easy for people to skim over, but I'm kind of sick of repeating it. I am not reconnecting the spa light. It is to remain disconnected and capped off. The J-box you see with those unsheathed wiring is to the spa...

It has been found, it's the wire between the spa and the j-box.

Thanks. I'm in 100% agreement. I'm certain there is a buried j-box or the cable is clamped down somewhere. Thanks everyone else too for the advice. Barring discovery of a wireless controlled battery powered pool/spa light, I'm going to have to go without a spa light until I have the entire...

Your link uses 42 volts as the minimum. I edited out my definitive claim though I shouldn't have said that. But maybe I'll take some photos of me swimming with a car battery some time. - - - Updated - - - Thanks but the circuit works just fine with the pool light as well as a gazebo light...

Okay I must not have been clear. I am not "retrofitting" any fixtures beyond changing a bulb. I asked if using a bi-pin adapter was possible before but the question is now moot since I discovered 12V pool bulbs use edison screws. I am perfectly comfortable putting a 12v 9 watt LED bulb into a...

[/COLOR]What do you mean tampered with? The bulb is meant to be replaceable. I just realized that most 12v pool light bulbs use regular edison screws so I wouldn't even be modifying it in any way. I tried silicon lubricant last time I tried to get it out which was last summer. I guess I...

Yeah I just watched a video and learned that. I misunderstood how it worked, my mistake sorry. The entire patio in the area where the conduit would be run has been lifted up from a tree root. It looks like earthquake damage it's so bad. I don't know if the cable is damaged but I'm pretty...

The conduit houses the electrical wire that feeds electrical power to the light. The electrical wire from the light cord (which is only like 3 feet or something right?) all the way to the nearest junction box is not watertight. It is? Because the copper wire in the junction box that leads to...

It's underneath concrete. Can't get to it.

Topic says it all. My idea is to get an Intermatic transformer and use the existing wiring to the lams and use the same lamp housings with perhaps a screw adapter for the bulb. Is doing something like this considered safe and legal? The reason is that a tree root damaged the PVC conduit going...
