heh. that light fixture is apparently *supposed* to be waterproof. it had a
big thick rubber gasket and the glass was held to the fixture with about a
dozen clamps. it was also flooded.
the whole fixture pulled right out of the side of the pool wall--I assume
whatever the single screw that threaded into the wall was actually threaded
into has gone away. the pot-metal trim around the fixture has also rotted.
this is probably not a good sign of things to come.
anyhow, there was just enough cord to get it onto the pool deck. I didn't
electrocute myself, though it got too dark to see exactly what was going on in
the fixture itself. the bulb seems to be a regular flood bulb. guess we'll
see tomorrow.
