Abstract: Mounting apparatus for mounting an underwater light to a surface of a pool of water, comprising a mounting plate having a plurality of spaced-apart mounting apertures each shaped to receive a mounting fastener to mount an underwater light assembly to the mounting plate, and a plurality of connector apertures each shaped to receive a connector fastener. The mounting apparatus may also comprise a C-shaped bracket having a jet aperture shaped to receive a return jet conduit therethrough, the return jet bracket configured to be secured to the mounting plate. The mounting apparatus may also comprise an expandable width wedge assembly configured to allow the mounting apparatus to be wedged in an underwater niche. The mounting apparatus may also comprise an adjustable angle base assembly to be secured to an underwater surface, the adjustable angle base assembly secured to the mounting plate and configured to angle the mounting plate at a desired angle relative to the underwater surface.

Abstract: Provided is a system, method, and an apparatus for underwater lighting. The underwater lighting assembly includes a mounting plate for attaching to an underwater surface of a container for holding a body of water, at least one light source for providing light, a controller electrically connected to the at least one light source, the controller being configured to control the at least one light source, a housing for providing a watertight seal to enclose the at least one light source and the controller, the housing being attachable to the mounting plate, and a signal wire for receiving remote control signals, the signal wire being electrically connected to the controller and configured to extend from the controller to an area outside of the body of water.
