I am looking to illuminate a 6-foot tall Spanish fountain which sits in the center of a large yard, so it will need 360-degree lighting. The bottom bowl is 4 feet in diameter and it sits in a pond 9 feet in diameter. In order to get the fountain lit on all sides, how many and what type of submersibles would you recommend? Thanks

I would go with four FOCUS SL33 MR16 UNDERWATER LIGHTS with adjustable stands, glare shields and 50-watt/EXN lamps.  Order the cords long enough that you can make connections in a junction box that is located in a dry area above the water line. Depending on the depth of the top bowl, you may want to fill in the shadow created by the lower bowl, by using either a FOCUS SL40 MR11 UNDERWATER LIGHT or a HADCO UWL1A UNDERWATER LIGHT.  Your other option for lighting the top feature, is using one or more LOW VOLTAGE PIN SPOTS mounted in a tree or on the house.  You will also need a LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER to power up the lights.

Sounds like a great fountain, send us some pictures of the finished product!
