An underwater light includes a high intensity lamp placed in an enclosure that allows for easy lamp replacement in case of breakage or natural failure. Electrical wires are soldered to a metal fitting on the lamp. The metal fitting is received in a plastic nipple and the space between the fitting and nipple is filled with a sealant, leaving the ends of the wires exposed. The wires are connected by water proof twist-on wire connectors and the end of the lamp is enclosed by a rubber boot and an end cap. When the lamp burns out, it is easily replaced by fishing the light out of the water, removing the rubber boot to expose the twist-on wire connectors. The twist-on wire connectors are removed and the old lamp discarded. A new lamp is installed in reverse order.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention addresses the need of an underwater lighting system that is easily installed and inexpensively repaired by the consumer.
Other systems advertise the need of the installation and the factory replacement of the lamp by trained individuals.
The replacement of the lamp in this system is easily done by anyone familiar with the use of a soldering gun.
Unlike other systems using a mogul socket or porcelain lamp holder, made by such manufacturers as Philips, to couple the lamp electrically to the wires, none is needed or used in this system.
A simple yet very effective method of coupling the wires to the lamp is done by soldering, eliminating one component prone to failure.
This underwater lighting system can be easily placed in the water, which is typically a canal and be easily retrieved with minimal effort.
Current systems use a non-flexible conduit to enclose and protect the wire.
This system uses a highly flexible conduit to protect the wire while enabling the simple procedure of deployment and retrieval.
This invention addresses the need of an underwater system that allows for the placement of the lamp in various depths of water.
It is generally known that lamps placed approximately no deeper than 5 feet below the water surface allow both the desired brightness needed while allowing the lamp to be deep enough to insure sailboat keels and boat props from inadvertently damaging the lamp.
The combination of new and different components allow for this result.
These physical differences are substantial and significant.
Previous references have not shown a combination of these components, resulting in an operational advantage to the user.
