Does anybody else get freaked out by pool lights?

they're equipped with ground/voltage regulators.  All electrical things now are required to have them.  If there was a short (i.e water hit the circuit), the system would realize the increase in voltage and shut off.  They showed this on mythbusters how a new hairdryer shuts off when you drop it in the bathtub.

It used to be like that with fluorescent lights only, but not anymore.  See this article.\n\nhttp://www.eweb.org/business/energy/energysmart/ebd/9811/lighting_myth.htm

I remember it very well. I was asleep in the basement (because it is cool there) and when I woke up, the lights were out. I went outside and it was sunny and beautiful. Then the neighbor told me the whole eastern part of the U.S. was out of power. I couldn't believe it. \nWhat was worse about it was when I lost water pressure and had no running water.\nThe black out was caused only a few miles from me in northeast Ohio.

Don't know sorry.  BUT PLS. I am at limit of questions for today so I ask here:  Is it dangerous if the pool's light is away from the wall and floating about a foot from wall and there is the cord to it in water? You know what I mean?  I've seen this a lot before . . .but the manitenance guy here is so stupid that I am particularly afraid this time.  Some other swimmer said it was OK and that it is always waterproof.

It could be a form of migraine starting.  The best thing would be to check with a doctor.  For some people, certain types of lighting brings on a migraine.

Yeah they do freak me out, but not a lot.\n\nLiving in s. florida and having been hit by Hurrican Wilma what REALLY freaks me out is when a hurricane is headed this way. I start shaking all over now. We got hit hard and it blew roofs off here. So I am freaked out mostly by the possibility of dying.

I find that too.. I am pratically blind, but when i swim I only need contact to see the clock.. underwater i feel fine\n\nbut it depends on the goggles.. some make you see crazy reflections.. because of the periferal blocking

I have that fear too. I also don't know exactly what it is called. I fear the drains on the bottom of pools because I fear of being sucked under and not being able to get back up. Don't laugh!! It's true. My favorite water creature is the orca. Ok but I have the fear of swimming in lakes and the ocean because I fear being dragged out and under. I used to love feeling the sand being pulled from under me by the surf... And then I saw the signs posted around the beach. \n\nIf your fears are similar to mine, the it may be the fear of water taking you that you have. Just try not to think about it when you're doing those things. And imagine dolphins doing the can-can!  :)  Be strong!

yes very much so, i know i have a severe fear of being alone in pools or even my own bathtub seems dumb right? well i find out through dreams and other sources that in a past life i was swimming in a pond and something (alligator i think) grabbed my leg and drown me. to this day i can't stop looking behind my back at pools. draw your own conclusion.

Yes!  This happens to me all of the time.  Almost every time I drive. I like to think it is a loved one watching over me (lights kept flickering at the funeral).  It is wierd, I know!

Either all the light bulbs were put in at the same time. Or You just might be suckin up too much energy at the same time.
