Need some advice on lighting for a Tok 850 I'm doing. The only light socket location on my pump is on the switch casting on a shelf at the top of the faces. It does not look like much light will get to the globe, and if it does will have a lot of shadow - there's only the 4" opening at the top of the dome. Was there some alternate conduit connection that is missing on my pump? I might mount a plate at the base of the dome top with a socket attached and just run wiring up from the original switch casting. What have you experts done?

I use a fish tank light bulb [standard socket].

My 850's original socket has a stuck switch in the off position, which I plan to fix... someday. For now, I have a porcelain socket from Homeless Depot..LOL, with an on/off pull chain screwed to the same shelf. The 65/75 watt bulb sticks up high enough to light the globe and face but, in case of a hail storm, I can remove globe and cover the globe holder with a steel plate. I also rigged up a small wattage bulb to light up the inside of the site glass.
I'm emailing you some pics.
