Here's my experience with pond lights. Many years ago I put two underwater lights in my pond. It is 990 gal. There are koi, turtles, frogs, etc. One week went by and I thought ..well, all is OK there. During the night, my neighbor heard something happening in my pond and called me. Someone ate through the wire for the lights, (most likely a slider) and all the koi were floating on top of the pond. The two sliders made it, but all the fish died, and I had to empty the whole pond out. It was a mess in there. It was very sad for me as I had the koi for years. Now no one ever ate through the wire for the pump. I don't know why they did that but I never put a light in there again. I have lights on an over hang on my house that directs a beam into the pond. Well anyway that is my experience with under water lights. I am not saying it will happen to you (I hope not), and I know they look beautiful. Good luck to you.
