I keep reading in various places that there is a light switch that is approved to control a light in a pool and is not required to be at least 5' from the pool. I can not find this switch so I am wondering if any of you know what I am talking about.
some factory manufactured spas use a pneumatic switch, where pressing on
a button sends a pulse of air to a remote switch outside the 5' rule... and
having no voltage present, or metallic conductors at all, are outside the scope
of the code....
my thought is that might be your easiest solution...
