Default Pond Lighting

Our first pond is a raised patio job
www.katzsisters.com , and I'm wondering how to light it ?

Most of the pool lights have "indoor" transformers, when I'd prefer an
outdoor version. Also because the pond is so small, I'd obviously prefer
something to match.
Any suggestions ?

Peter

Pondmaster makes the best free standing light with an outdoor
transformer. It uses 4 screws vs twist on. They have a better gasket
then most too and a 18ft cord, which is most important.

Very nice start to the addiction. On your web page your remark, "I still
think there's room for another pool".

Well yeah! Who coined the saying around here of, "A lawn is but a pond
waiting to happen"? I'd get rid of the rockery, though cute, and all the
grass and start digging seriously. ;o) ~ jan

Many of my friends have suggested I just build a berm around my property,
put an island in the middle and fill the rest with water. I am working on
the plans, now.

The ultimate aquarium was once described as a house with a glass
window in the basement, floating on the Great Barrier Reef.

Apparently buying the rat poison was enough. I have held off distributing
it, and have not had a problem yet, but I am ready if I do.
