Hey thanks for checking for me, that may be why I could not find them on line, they usually even post the in store items.

that must have been why it was only 2.99 and when I called they said most stores have them onsale to get rid of them .They do generate a lot of heat .Thats why I use mine only in the winter and the leds in the summer.I burned my arm with one but when they are in the water they seem to not get as hot

Thanks sissy, now just need to figure out warm vs cool, how many led's in a light, how well it will light up ..........lol Heading to ebay to check them out. The width of the pond there is around 20 feet there, will do some research.

the leds should be more than 4 light emitting diodes per light under that there is not enough .I have five in mine and 2 light the pond and 1 in each water fall and one under the bridge and they more than light the pond

Thanks sissy again.....lol. They don't tell you the lumens of the lights. That would make it too easy.

leds are not measured by lumens only brightness like white light

The boat underwater lights (led) i looked at rated them by lumens, but the pond lights don't. Who know if it is even accurate.
