Frequently Asked Questions
Open Face Solid Brass Spotlight
What tips are recommended to preserve the fixtures longer and also be easier to open when their light bulbs go out?
LED bulbs can last a very long time so if this fixture is submerged for multiple years it may be difficult to remove the cover screws. So we recommend using anti-seize on every thread.
Why is there a floating socket?
When the socket is at the bottom of the fixture it is very difficult to install the bulb. You can't get your fingers inside the fixture with a bulb in your hand. Also, it keeps the bulb tight against glass so that you have optimal light output.
How deep in the water can these be placed?
Most underwater fountain lights are rated for up to 1 meter.
If I wanted this in a jacuzzi, how would the heat effect the fixture or wiring?
Pond and fountain lights must be rated to be installed in pools and jacuzzis. A fountain light could be rated for a fountain but not rated for a pool or a jacuzzi so you have to be very careful before installing any luminaire in or near water. All electrical codes must be followed.
For the raw brass finish, what could I apply to the fixture to preserve the look if I wanted to avoid pool chemicals.
Brass will patina to a dark brown color so it doesn't really require any type of sealer or protective coating. With that being said, if there are too many chemicals or if the ph is unbalanced brass can be destroyed. Brass is composed of copper and zinc. The harsh chemicals and ph can actually separate the 2 metals.
How does the water effect the light output for this fixture?
Water diffuses light rapidly so the deeper you place the fixture the brighter the bulb you may want . Keeping a tighter beam spread will also help.
