Okay, so I wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts are

I attached a picture of the corded ones below. To be honest I REALLY want to keep the corded ones because they are EXTREMELY bright and light up the entire pool and the app is great Problem is they are corded which is annoying. I Wanted to see if anyone had ideas on where and how to run the cords with my setup (picture attached below) so it’s not in way And not an inconvenience.

When you look at my pool the lights will go where the white circles are and where I’d think to run the cords are the white lines. One set of lights will be plugged in where the pool equipment is and be on left side of pool the other set will be plugged in on right side by bar and on right side of pool. I am just wondering how to hide/run wire. Wanted some thoughts.
I do want to mention They are 120v and drop to 12 volts DC after the transformer which is where the cord will be in the water. I am worried about safety with these lights BUT the 120 volts with my application with be very far from pool and will be connected to a GFI breaker. Technically Could the 12volts DC ever harm anyone?

Now on to the puck lights. Extremely unreliable, very dim compared to the plugged ones and equality seems terrible as one already stopped working one day after purchase.

Not sure what to do here.

I’d keep the plugins but I’m just worried about safety and inconvenience .

Thanks for your thoughts everyone!

I just grabbed the intex color lights they are still being shipped but the YouTube videos on both intex and those LyLyMe lights seem to be fairly safe and high quality. I opted for the intex ones because of the magnetic induction connection within the water just felt a little safer to me than dropping a power cord into the water permanently haha but most reviews seem to stand by the safety on both versions of lights. The ones you have there are better in a lot of ways than the intex ones for customization and both are plenty bright so I think it's a win either way you choose to go.

Cheers 🍻
