Does this light need to be weighted to remain at bottom of pond. (I don't want one that floats)

Mount it to a smallish piece of flat metal to aim any way you like and as for the short wires, that.s what soldering and water tight heat shrink is for.... works every time...

I did the test to see if it will weight itself down, the answer is yes it does. But you may need to attach to something so that it will stay upright. Back to the short wires, it is 12" long. I really don't know how you can connect to the power source unless your water is only 8" deep.

you don't even need an true watertight connection like yo do with 110 ac volts. its 12vdc. just crimp the ends to you longer wire and throw in pond. it will corrode after a year or so but you light will give out before that. and it it doesn't just cut them off and put 2 more crimps. if you really high tech you can crimp to longer wires and cover in liquid electric tape you can get from wal mart then its water tight. its 10 bucks ppl so it is expendable.

Yes, to hold it up you can place something underneath the floater, such as a brick, to keep it running. But when water level is low, make sure you stop it manually to avoid damage.

I can't say what is best I. Your circumstance. The lights are a half circle with adhesive on the flat side. The adhesive isn't the best to use around water or anything in motion as the lights can separate from the surface they are adhered to.I did mount the lights in my live well; I mounted them to the horizontal side and went over he top with clear Duct Tape. They have done quite well. I left the tape about 3/4 to 1 inch beyond the lights themselves.

I use mine for a small pond. The bag flops when it gets heavy so you have to change it often. I does the job!

Not sure if the light itself floats, but if its attached to your PFD, it will be the best purchase you ever make. It's like insurance. You hope you don't need it but if you do.......

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.

This is meant to stay buoyant in the water. It will float to the surface if dropped. Please let us know if there is anything else that you may need.

The float needs to float so don't weigh it down. As the float rises with the water level it engages a switch which turns the pump on. My pump sits in a 5 gallon bucket (in a hole) with many 1/2 inch holes drilled into it to allow the water in. I place 2 bricks on the bottom of the bucket then the pump on top of the bricks. The bricks help to keep debris from entering the pump. Keep in mind that this pump "lives" under water. I suggest an anti siphon valve (5 dollars) so once the pump is done pumping the water does not flow back into the hole......hope this helps.

it floats if dropped unless it is not propely closed in wich case it sinks by the water inside the battery compartment. As an hydrodynamic device it works a lot better underwater so in a swin area will work fine if the lake is quiet with not noticeable stream. Believe me, at half sinking works poorly but when you pun under water level it is really nice.

No, not without some toil. The mount holes for the screws are a circle to accept the screw head, and a slot so the light hangs on the shaft of the screw. Gravity holds it in place. If you wanted it on the bottom of your artwork, you'd have to fashion a support to hold it up. I've always preferred bottom mounting of art lights, but this configuration is different - you can aim the lights so they don't shine in the observers eyes. They are great lights.

No it cant, you do not want this to sit on anything because it will give off some heat, also you want to keep this light at least 8 to 10 inches above the water line because of light spread, if to close to the water it can act like a laser beam and can hurt your livestock,

The light will stay on until the batteries die or until the water is gone. The tiny light is not particularly obvious; I assume it's intended to be used as an audible indicator of water, not a visual alarm. If you're looking for a visual alarm, I would probably look for something a little more obvious.

It floats but it should be tied off to your life vest. You really don't want to be searching for your safety light inan emergency situation

It doesn't make sense to float unless your trying to use it on a large area. I use it in a bird bath and use a rock to weigh it down. Works fine for me.

No, it needs to be installed vertically. The bulb on the bottom floats on the water, rising up and sealing. It wouldn't work horizontally.

there is a little turbine inside the head that generates the light. Shouldn't have issue because it is always turning by water power. turning off the water will shut off light

No. I wrap it around a pipe and put it about a foot under water. Lights uup s good 8 feet on one side and light up 6 feet on the other but not as brite. Attracts alit of bait fish.
