I have read a lot of posts about them being bad like that and having problems. Jeff, my name came from me being shocked by my current orbit light.

My Shock wasn't bad.I'm sure you got a little bit more of a bite from that light.I figured you probably took that name for a reason.Talk later John.

I didn't really get a big shock, more like just a little tingle everytime i had my hand in the water and my arm would touch the light. My wife and son both thought I was nuts, but them finally the wife felt it.

How many times must I say junk!!!!!

I had 3 of mine do the same thing. one on mine shocked the hell out of me thought. Not just a little tingle, I mean damn near put my elbow thru the glass on my reflector shock.
Never was too impressed with the flow either

Do like Killingseed said use the mount for an mjmod or something I used two of mine for that. Just cut and superglued and works great.

reeftexas, if you keep it for a mount, you need to cut out part of the cage from it with a dremel. then you can glue it to the top or or bottom of a mj and bam you have a kick a$$ mj mount! yo u can keep the shaft and prop you never know and ditch the rest.

not the best picture but
