SPA Lighting

I would like to add some more lighting to my spa. The only place I would like to mount the light is in the skimmer recess (the area where the filter is in the corner). After looking at the different products I think it would work out if I got a 2 amp ac adapter, a couple of the waterproof LED spotlights, and a junction box. Is there anything else I need to know? Is it risky having this hooked up in a spa while being plugged in a wall socket? Any information or suggestions would be fantastic. Thanks

As long as the AC adapter stays away from the water and is plugged into GFCI outlet, I see no issues. The 12v low voltage is safe.

Don't you usually want less lighting in a hot tub?

Look forward to seeing photos.

Depends if the chick is ugly or not.

Im a dude....my gf is hot but I don't think I would get away with taking a picture of her in the hot tub and posting it lol. I had to google GFCI being that I am a noob. They have a plug that is a GFCI that is said to work well and is legal so I will go with that. I will post pics when I get it. I am currently waiting on my body shop/fiber glass guy because he is taking my crappy dome assembly and custom making one big enough to fit 4 of the hyperflux LED dome boards in so I will order everything at the same time.

I gotta tell you, the fact that you had to Google what a GFCI was, coupled with the fact you are going to be working with electricity in a wet environment scares the **** outta me! I would strongly suggest that once you have accumulated the lights you want to put in, and placed them where you want them...spend a few bucks and hire an electrician to hard-wire the lights to a dedicated wet-use certified, low-voltage outlet. Any time you have a plug-in adapter, no matter that it puts out low voltage, you run the risk of electrocution should something come in contact with the positive prong where it inters the plug. The current is only regulated after passing through the regulator...the current coming into the regulator will kill you dead so don't take any chances....safety first man...esp with a hotty in the tub. They tend to never forgive if you make their hair frizzle
