Indoor extension cord going up side of pool. Exposed cables. Connected to 110volt lighting. Ty-rapped to the metallic perimeter of this pool. Just above the water line.

Boggles the mind!
Was the water boiling at the ends of the rope light when they turned them on?

No wonder there are no GFCIs they would be tripping all the time.
May I post these pictures at an electricians forum if I give you, and / or NACHI credit for them Joe?

Hey, Honey, go out and get in the pool. I’ll be out to join you in just a few minutes. Oh, I’ll turn the pool lights on when I come out (heh-heh).

Thanks Joe, this is a classic and will be a show opener for me this week in Las Vegas at the DOE Electrical Safety Conference!

There was a post over on ECN about how U/L was changing the listing for rope light because of all the abuses. This is fairly good stuff, when used properly but it is still just a tube with wire in it and if the ends are not made up properly it can be dangerous.

Joe F,
Now that is an eye-opener.
I still can't believe that there are actually real people out there that are that oblivious of electricity.
Give me a break.

It could get to the point that you have a hard time finding a single pole breaker that isn’t GFCI/AFCI.
Every time I see something like this rope in a pool it makes me think it ain’t a bad idea.

recommend wrapping all joints with duct tape to prevent nuisance disconnection when pulling on wire/light while swimming.

Kinda brings a warm, fuzzy feeling all over me to know there was absolutely no basis for his claims, and yes Virginia we do have to protect people from their own gross stupidity and ignorance!
