Do in ground pool lights use conduit or just the wires buried
deep
below the surface? I have a side view drawing of the pool when
constructed but it doesn't show electrical wires ,just a side
view
of
the pool.

Just use armoured cable, like the cable used to supply the house
with
power. I've used normal flex before, but it rots or gets eaten
by
something.

That would drain your pool. The pool light conduit is flooded by
pool
water.

Not the bit where the electrical connections go.

The conduit goes directly into the wet niche and the cord to the
lamp
runs through the flooded conduit. That is why the junction box has
to
be elevated above the water line. There is pool water in the
conduit.

What a weird idea. I'd design the lamp housing with the wire coming
out
the back, sealed off from the water.

With a pool light, there is a light housing and a "niche". The
housing
is
a sealed enclosure with SOOW (or
equivalent) cable supplying power to the light circuit. The niche is
a
non
sealed cavity with conduit
attached leading to the power supply.

The waterproof cable threads through the conduit and the sealed
housing
mounts to the niche. The housing is
equipped with enough extra cable, stored in the niche, to allow the
enclosure to be removed and serviced on
the dry surface surrounding the pool.

Considering the caustic nature of the chemicals used in pool water,
this
approach is brilliant in it's
simplicity and safety.

I see.

Hang on, someone in this group said you died on a roof.

Could you post the message ID of that post?

PENN YAN €“
Penn Yan Police have identified the man who died last week the roof of
the Walgreen's Drug Store on the corner of Liberty and Elm Streets in
Penn Yan.
Police Chief Mark Hulse reports that Christopher A. Young, 54, of
Farmington, was admitted to the roof of Walgreens by internal access
Tuesday, July 19 to clean the roof drains. There he suffered a heart
related incident and died.
As an independent contractor hired by the Walgreens Corp., Hulse says no
one at the store knew Young's name nor noticed when he did not come down
from the roof. Young's unattended vehicle was later reported to police
who attempted to contact him, but the connection to the man who went up
on the roof was not made until store employees checked the store
security video, and then discovered his body on the roof at 2:10 p.m.
July 22.
Young's name was withheld by police until his family had been notified.
He lived alone with no one to report him missing. Hulse says Young had
only a sister living near him, but it was not unusual for them to be out
of touch for periods of time.
Young's body was removed to Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital where
the post mortem was performed by a local pathologist, Dr. Dean, who
ruled the death to be by natural causes related to the heart.
Local Walgreens store management referred all questions to Walgreens
Corporation Media Relations Dept. personnel, who refused to comment.
