I'd like to purchase LED pond lights that are not in any sort of holders so I can wire them along my aqueduct. IOW, I just need the bulbs and the wires so I can solder them up. They're for out of water usage, but I was wondering if they also make them for in water usage. Again, without holders.

Thanks

btw, on a different post a day or 3 ago I posted about needing new pump. As my holding pond is reallysmall I went with the 950gmh pondmaster as it's smaller than laguna

We have some underwater lights in our stream, waterfall and on the pond ledge. They consist of LED bulbs contained in hollow synthetic polymer rocks. The bulbs are Phillips landscape LEDs, designed for use out of water but they are held within the faux rock behind a o-ring sealed lens cover - like the lens of a flashlight. They look like real granite river rocks, about baseball size, and are very unobtrusive - especially when blended in with real river rock. They have to have some type of seal underwater to keep water off the solder point and out of the small fixture. Zoom to the left of the falls, under the maple tree in this pic, to see one installed at our place.

Sorry, this is off topic but I gotta say that is the most natural looking waterfall I've ever seen! Excellent job! The water seems to cut through the rock like it's been there a thousand years. Did you use any mortar there, or is it simply well positioned stones on top of liner?

Thanks a lot, timvz. The stream/waterfall is a hybrid design; the largest basalt boulders were positioned to provide an anchoring foundation for the underlaying liner and a natural-appearing route for the stream bed. The stone was placed by a friend's track loader. We mortared the lower structure to the pond ledge, and also set the larger rocks and errosion points in the stream with mortar. This picture shows it before completion.

...our neighbor's roof in the background has more moss on it than most ponds!
