light :-)

Make another. It's just a bulb embedded in a loose chunk of concrete.

Any advice about how to put in the rope light? Especially to ensure it
is safe for the pond residents?

I have both "ends" up out of the water even tho the far end is sealed. and it is
plugged into a GFI receptacle. I noticed a lot of the lights have burned out in it
so it is going to be yanked and replaced this year. this one is not one of those
cheap Xmas lights, it is the higher priced ones from Menards. Ingrid

We used the cheap sets for a few years in our old small pond. Another
possibility, is if you can only find the sting lights with ventalation hols,
you might be able to feed it through some clear pond hosing, if it's big
enough.
