❓ FAQ: Lighting Pool and Wet Areas
Q: Are C9 cords safe to use near a pool?
A: Our commercial-grade C9 cords are designed for long-term outdoor use. They are generally safe when installed correctly above the pool area, ensuring the sockets are facing down and all bulbs are fully screwed in to create a watertight seal. Always follow **local electrical codes** regarding proximity to water.
Q: What does "G40" mean?
A: The "G" stands for **Globe shape**, and "40" is the diameter of the bulb in millimeters (40mm). G40 bulbs use the **C9 (E17) base**, making them interchangeable with C9 bulbs on the same C9 cord, which is why they are perfect for outdoor patio and perimeter lighting.
