Why the aversion to low-voltage 12V underwater lights? Completely safe.
I would love to find some battery powered underwater lights. We installed 12 volt lights - spent a fortune on them. They lasted one season. The lamps all cracked. I really don't relish the thought of digging up all those cords and re- installing everything.
Not possible to hide wire
Actually it is, unless you mean your pond design won't accommodate it.
How do i get wires under concrete?

Run the cords in the pond, covered by rock or ???
With pond lights, as with most everything else, you get what you pay for. Don't expect cheepo lights to last very long and you won't be disappointed. Having said that, I spent more than I wanted to on a name brand LED pond lite kit (four 1 watt lights, timer, etc.) and in less than a year, two of them went bad. This is where buying from a reputable dealer and purchasing a product with a solid warranty pays for itself. They replaced the bad lights under warranty. Bit of a hassle but better than tossing out $150.00 worth of lights.
