Help! Getting Shocked!

In any case, disconnect both fuge light and DIY moon light, one at a time, checking for shocks. The last one you unplugged without getting shocked is it.
 
ALSO, you may just bee feeling electroendoplasmic shock (ya I just made that word up). I feel it when I touch the metal of my light fixture with my arm in the salt water. It won't happen with fresh water.

The DIY moonlight do touch the fixtures legs which are plastic.
And I'm testing the fixtures now...

Snowman, you may be right, electroendoplasmic shock is very common I hear.. lol
 
well looks like the moon lights have to go till i get a better design... sigh... i got a nasty shock too... hurt like a ******
 
haha yea u got that right... they looked great too a well... time to upgrade lighting I think, retro fit that then retro moon lighting in, i think that would be best.
 
yea... it was the diy thread about them that gave me the idea. maybe they need to look in to it and make sure they aren't having the same problem. glad the culprit was found before it got really bad.

...but, necessity IS the mother of invention! I love to DIY, especially when I save the $$ to go buy something I can't make, like some fish or coral. Besides that, DIY is much less $$ than therapy! (part of why I'm in this);)
