is that 110 or something less for the pool light? I am looking for a
cheap way to get an outlet to the back yard and thought this might work. But for some reason I thought this was not 110 there. -- "Even I realized that money was to politicians what the ecalyptus tree is to koala bears: food, water, shelter and something to crap on." ---PJ O'Rourke |

That circuit would be controlled by a switch, but it may be possible to pull additional wires through the same conduit to add an additional circuit |

I have no problem with it being controlled by a switch because it is probably an outlet I would only use 4-5 times a year (during parties and maybe for some leaf blowing in the fall) so I can turn on the pool light at the same time with no concerns. That's also why I don't want to mess with pulling more wires if I can avoid it. Thanks. -- "Even I realized that money was to politicians what the ecalyptus tree is to koala bears: food, water, shelter and something to crap on." ---PJ O'Rourke |

Sounds like a good app. I'd prefer it for obvious reasons. But, when you're installing pools saving a few $$$ is probably the main concern...... On the other hand if some of the installing companies were smart, they could make the fact that they use low voltage a selling point. |

But for some reason I thought this was not 110 there. I think the best way to know is to ask the people here or take the cover off and use a voltmenter. I would have the outlet face away from the water with waterproof caps. |
