Abstract
Abstract A spa light having a lens head positionable through the wall of a spa and including a lens facing inwardly in the spa. A two piece housing is assembled to provide a transformer cavity and a lamp cavity, the housing being positionable with the lens head. The transformer cavity is sealed with a transformer therein to reduce the voltage to 12 volts. The lamp cavity is open to receive a lamp, a lamp socket and a reflector. The cavity is arranged to allow convection air flow past the reflector and water flow from the water cavity to avoid excessive accumulation.
