Lighting
What Watt is the Krispol Bulb?
The Krispol Bulb has a power rating of 100 watts.
An underwater bulb was working after installation but the next day it wasn't. It was replaced but the old one had half filled with water and then stopped. There isn't a hole or fracture, sometimes it drips but can't pinpoint where from.
The issue with the underwater bulb filling with water and subsequently stopping is likely a result of the back of the light being exposed to water, where the internal components are not adequately sealed.
