Hi all,
Finally got our tub back together and running well. However, the factory lights are very cheap and do not adequately light the perimeter of the tub.

I would like to disconnect the existing lights (4 bulbs to a side) and install outdoor rope lighting (110v) around the perimeter.

Is there an easy way I can tie the rope lights into my 240v electrical? and hopefully turn them on and off with the existing button on the control panel?
Thanks!

Alright guys lots of views, no ideas?

I basically know what to do, but electricity scares the heck out of me. Been zapped by 240v overseas before and it wasn't pretty!

I'm attaching a wiring diagram for my tub. I see what appears to be a Step Down Transformer which the lights are connected to (but then a 250v 3A fuse after it?).

Can I just turn the existing lights on and measure the current with a voltmeter?

TIA!
P.S. I have the full manual for anyone who needs one for a Coleman 400 Horizon Series (made by Maax Spas Arizona)

I don't see a neutral on the main TB- if you don't have one, will make it tough to use one of the 110v sources. I suppose you could pigtail off the ground, but if equipped with a GFCI, that will likely trip instantly, and since these are outdoor lights going around a hot tub- I don't think 110v is a good idea anyway- much safer to go with low-voltage lighting.

measure the output of t2 between the brown and yellow. Is it 12V? You can get 12V rope lighting, and other accessory lighting through automotive supply and truck stops. The web is full of different 12V lighting requirements. The fuse before the t2 is to protect the t2 primary, and the fuse after protects the secondary. I would also look into 12 LED lighting, so you don't have to worry much about amperage.
