Also, it highlights the problematic use with placing 110-volt power on a dock with wires that may leak voltage into the nearby water, wires that can deteriorate over time and become a painful electric hazard for swimmers, both for people or for your pet Barney the basset hound who loves the water ....... arrrrroooooo ..... arf-arf ....... zap! zap! zap!
Those are standard 12v low voltage incandescent lights powered by a 110V transformer. Pretty standard setup.
