Harbor Freight.. sucks!
Just got an email reply from them, after asking them what happened to my
order last week. The pump is backordered til June 26th, (assuming they come in then), and the lights are backordered till aug. pth! I just told them to cancel my order, and f I still needed them then, that I would reorder. So anyone else know of another good onlinbe source for underwater lights and for pumps? -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

Actually if I may, they don't suck that bad! :-)
I just walk in to their store, show them the sales from the online store, and voila I leave with what I want at the online price without paying shipping! Speaking of "sucks", the underwater light they have for sale sucks bad! My Brother bought one, and it lights nothing! Now the car headlight connected to Malibu transformer, that works great! Just my 2 cents, which is worth as much as BV's 2 cents = $0.00 -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino "Gareee©" wrote in message ...

Just connect it to an existing low voltage system if you have one (as long as the transformer will handle the extra load) - or buy a small 12 volt transformer to run it separately.

just use a car battery charger (probably have one on the shelf of your

Hmmm... That's making me wonder if those smaller replacement headlights that
plug into built in car headlight housing could be used somehow? They look like they might draw less power, and of course are smaller (but with no reflector) I might see if I can work up an alternate housing for the headlight in any case... instead of pouring quickrete, maybe I can use a Tupperware (or such) rectangular container, use silicon for a sealer, and fill it with small aquarium gravel to weigh it down.

Good additional info. We've had family visiting for the last week, and once
they leave (soon thanks Gawd!), I can look at working up a pond light. Probably after Weds. this week. I'm sure I'll find a lamp/headlight at Biglots, and then it's a matter of getting the power correct, and then sealing it. Caulking gun silicon is great for maming small things watertight, and I'll probably try that. I also saw that they have electrical wiring and cables there as well. I want to see how inexpensive and easy I can make one that actually works good and looks nice. Lovally, they only have some low watt ones that are $40 +, and for a low level light, that's just too expensive to me. It's not so much that I can't afford it, it's the principal of the thing. Worst case, I can always get sealed rope light, but I want to try an underwater floodlight kinda thing first., and maybe have it under our big gargoyle spitter, shining up at him... I actually got a decent night shot of our backyard and pond last night.. and I used a new photoshop tool I got called Noise Ninja.. it cleaned up the nightshot quite well!

I and a friend have also taken these floating 12-volt fishing lights from

You just can't make a blanket statement about a company...well...you can if you want to..LOL MIKE Well, I can based on my experience with them. I ordered from them, got no contact at all from them for almost 2 weeks, finally emailed them inquiring the status of my order, and THEN was told it was backordered. I've ordered MANY things online, from plants, to computer hardware, and I almost always get emailed some kind of order confirmation/status either the day of order, or within a day or so. Someone else followed up with a comment that the underwater lights they have were terrible, so I'm glad I didn't get them now. If you'd like a correction: "My dealing with Harbor Freight indicate that they SUCK!" There ya go. I want to order when I want to order, not when it is convenient for the company I am ordering from. If they don;t have an item in stock, it should be listed as such in their online catalog. I had expected delivery of these items in time for a vacationing visit from my in-laws. Obviously, I did not get them in time, and our pond was now unfinished for backyard barbeque and picnic entertaining plans. Once I contacted them, and decided to cancel the order, they did expedite that quickly, but I know I'll not order from them again. Here's a GREAT online company example we just had last week: We ordered two DVD sets from Amazon.com, and received both DVD sets two full days BEFORE the actual release date! The day before our order arrived, we had a delivery confirmation, and they not only arrived the next day, BUT our credit card was actually charged the day they arrived! While this is not the norm, this is an excellent reason why Amazon continues to earn our business. Online companies can only offer a few reasons to buy from them: Price Fast/Cheap delivery Excellent customer service. Out of the top 3, Harbor only gave me the first reason: Price.. and if I can;t order and get items from them, the other two reasons become worthless. -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

MIKE Ok, I grabbed one of these lights (They do look like easy pond lights!).. any resource for the 12 volt adapters though? The cheapest thing at Lowe's was $40 or so... Should've picked one up while you were at Wally World -- $40 there will get you a kit with ~20 lights, a 12V transformer, and a few other odds and ends. Should be able to score just a transformer for well under that. Just ask where the "landscaping lights" are. I already have solar lights, so don't need (or want) the low wat lights.. they are a pain to setup, and maintain. (Last set we had always seemed to have some problem, and the way the lights hooked up to the wireing was a nightmare!) Solars are *so* much better.. just pop them into the ground, and forget them. Plus, if you want to redo your lighting, there's no hassle at all. (we actually re-arrange our lights every few months.) so I really just need the 12 volt transformer. -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |
