Cut and pasted......
***************************************************************************
Light has been underwater for 2 weekends now - mercury vapor does show green when submerged - right now about 5' below water surface.
25.00 for the street light
8.00 for an outdoor extension cord
9.00 for a 4" x 4" x 4" box
2.00 for tube of silicone from Walmart (light for 24.00 there - I got
screwed)
5.00 (about) for 2" pvc cap, coupling, tube - open up tube with dremel
and 2 1/8" hole saw
2 cable ties for strain reliefs
The money I saved - 2 1/2 kegs of beer from Auburn (3 from Tuscaloosa), or several bottles of Absolut.
*******************************************************************************
BEING PROVEN RIGHT ONCE AGAIN......PRICELESS!!!!

I didn't do it. I just gave the idea instead of spending $300 for a "Green Monster Fishing Light". I only posted it because some argued that it wouldn't work, and others that the 'parts' cost well over $100. Maybe the gentleman that did it will post his assembly instructions. It is really just basic wiring though. I could do it, just haven't had the desire to as of yet. I don't fish and can sit and watch my neighbors anytime I want.

The light was a Cooper wall mount 175 W light, you can find the box at Lowes/Home Depot in the conduit supplies. Open up the pipe to accept the mogul bulb base, put a coupler on top to help seal it, and a cap on the other end. Be sure to seal it well, I used cable ties where the cord went through the cap, and box (sorry - 6 cable ties, not 2). My power on the pier is GFCI'd already - any power near any water source or below grade should be by code anyway - if you do not know if it is, you could use a GFCI plug, or call an electrician - electricity and water are not a good mix. If you have doubts about your skills or instructions, Ronnie at Green Monster, or Mike at Underwater Advantage can get you a light.

You should not even need an underwater light to watch your neighbors unless they are taking part in some serious aquatic activities. And yes you could just watch your neighbor's (light) for even less money unless they charge you adult beverages for your viewing pleasure...
