ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for housing the controls for an electric circuit and a light indicator which is driven by the electric circuit. The electric circuit and light indicator are employed in proximity to a spa, whirlpool bathtub, hot tub or the like, and the apparatus is intended for operation by a human operator in contact with water. A front plate or display plate which is at least partially transparent or translucent is mounted on the tub in proximity to the water and helps to separate the electric circuit and light indicator from the water. The housing is mounted on a side of the plate away from the water and has a front portion which is at least partially transparent or translucent and in opposed relation to the plate, a rear edge portion spaced away from the plate, and an intermediate skirt portion connecting the front and rear portions. The housing is formed in one piece and has an opening defined by the rear edge portion to facilitate insertion of the light indicator into the housing. The electric circuit and light indicator are thus reliably protected against moisture, and the light indicator is visible to the operator through the plate and front portion.
