Hi folks,
I just had a pool build completed and realized (after the fact) that i don't have any lighting on my tanning ledge. The rest of the pool is using multiple Pentair Globrite Color lights, so for the tanning ledge I was thinking of adding a Microbrite (since the area is shallow/small). Since I'm all sealed/decked in, it's an understatement that this would be a challenge. I actually thought of a method to retrofit this (something I'm currently "negotiating" with my PB), but *if* I ever have to go my own route, it seems I'd have to core out a 1.5" niche (cutting thru plaster/glass waterline tile) and be able to run the feed back to the equip shed via the deck's deep expansion joints. First question is: what kind of coring bit would I need?...with the shallow Microbrite niche requirement, not sure if I'd be hitting any rebar (so wet/dry?). Second question is what kind of wall fitting would the Microbrite use and where could I purchase it? I have plenty of wattage capacity (2 x 300W transformers for 6 lights so far)
Again, I'm just pondering this and not looking to screw with my warranty, but the engineer in me wants to solve it since I'm looking at a half dark pool every night.
