Seal every cut end, cable entry and connector with silicone end caps and a marine-grade sealant, then bench-test the finished run submerged in a bucket for several hours before it goes into the pool. If you can avoid cutting the reel at all, do — an uncut factory-sealed run has no field joints to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the 24V driver, dimmer and all splices dry and well clear of the water, and have the installation done and inspected by a licensed electrician. In the United States, permanently installed pool, spa and fountain lighting falls under NEC Article 680, which governs bonding, grounding and the clearances that apply around the water — local code takes precedence over any general guidance here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwimming-pool perimeter, step and bench lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFountains, water walls and architectural water features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpa, plunge-pool and hot-tub surrounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLandscape ponds and water gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePermanently wet commercial locations — car washes, wet rooms, marine and dock edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a 5 m reel in 2700K warm white or 6500K cool white — choose a color temperature above.
