If you have a neutral present that will work.
If no neutral present then get a 240 volt light and tie into both hots.

You bought a 120 volt version and if the pump is 240 you need that voltage indicator.info on side of the light housing:
TAYEE
AD17-22 AC 110V

The bare wire is the equipment grounding conductor (ground). The motor is 240V, and needs no neutral.yes n no I guess. No I do not have four wires; red, black, white, and green. I have just black, white and bare copper/ground. The bare copper/ground serves as the neutral. And I presume the steel well casing serves as the ground.
Got to admit I have always been a bit confused over the whole neutral/ground thing since they both terminate in the same place in the breaker box.
At any rate, I went ahead and put a in-line 1A AGC glass fuse and it seems to be working fine on the workbench. If I need to bump up to 2A or higher it will be easy.
Also a bit confused over the UL thing. I thought UL was Underwriters Laboratories, who for a fee test and certify components meet their safety standards. Since I am not producing this for sale or production, why do I care about UL?
if a 1 AMP fuse allows that LED status light to catch fire and melt my doghouse sized pump house located 125+ feet from any other building or structure, I probably have some other much more serious issues to worry about.Who knows if that light will work, or burn up?
Think about all those 'hoverboards' that were catching fire. Made overseas and not listed...
Why did you bother to come here for advise? You seem to know it all😱if a 1 AMP fuse allows that LED status light to catch fire and melt my doghouse sized pump house located 125+ feet from any other building or structure, I probably have some other much more serious issues to worry about.
And I'll bet those hoverboard fires are all related to crap batteries and chargers which did have have appropriate fused circuits. And they surely draw a whole lot more current than an LED status light.
Just saying............... apples n oranges.
Unreasonable expectations I guess. Something like: Been there, done that, but here are the potential problems.......! Or a, "Oh no, don't do that because............."Why did you bother to come here for advise? You seem to know it all😱
actually I bought two lights, blue n red, not being sure which would be more visible in day light. wired a single light doing the ******* 110 using the ground as a neutral.Since you only have 240v available,
Get another one of your led panel light,
Same as the other one,
Wire the two in series across the 240v,
Feed to the pump motor.
How are you going to see panel lights,
From over 100 feet away ?
Better of using an 240v outdoor spotlight.
You will see that at 100 feet.
Is the electrical feed for the pump coming from your house?actually I bought two lights, blue n red, not being sure which would be more visible in day light. wired a single light doing the ******* 110 using the ground as a neutral.These lights are almost 9/16" so it is visible, but I do remain anxious over my bootlegged 110V.
I'll try rewiring them in series tomorrow. thanks.............
