Abstract
A fiber optic pool lighting system includes a light adaptor cup having an open mouth adapted to be positioned over a pool wall light source. A flexible fiber optic cable bundle having an end mounted in an opening in the cup is provided so that the end is in substantial alignment with the light source. A rail adaptor attaches the cable bundle to the top rail of a swimming pool and the cable is branched from the adaptor and extends along a top rail of the pool. The branches comprise a tube having a longitudinal tail. The tail is provided with a barb which cooperates with a slot in the rail to hold the cable in place.
