Hi,
I have a problem whereby the water seems to splash up onto my light bulbs and then slowly, via salt creep, makes its way over to the terminals for the bulb. This causes my safety switch on the house's electrical wiring to trip and I go into a blackout.
The solution is easy.. add a slash guard.. but I'm not sure on where to obtain suitable equipment / parts.
Of coarse, the light is elevated off the surface (by a good two inches actually) but it does indeed still splash up. In fact, it really just bubbles upwards (i.e. the disruption of the surface causes tiny pinhead bubbles which burst and pop upwards).
