I have an 8'x 3' fish pond with a waterfall to a smaller pond. What kind of lights should I use to illuminate it. It is a brick construction with black walls. I wanted to use underwater lights, but I want to highlight the waterfall. Please give me any advice and let me in on some of your calculation methods for underwater lamps.ThanksDarren

Since you have fish, you must use a brass fixture!  Copper fixtures will harm your fish.  I recently installed a small brick fountain at my house and used a couple Focus SL-11 underwater lights to illuminate the scuppers and back wall.  The fountain is about 12" deep and the shimmering lights look great!  You will also need a 12-volt transformer.  Remember, don't cut the cord until you have positioned them properly at night.  Click here to see some illustrations.
