Pool Light Replacement
Bring Your Pool to Life at Night
Pool lights make evening swims safer and turn the backyard into a place to relax after dark. When a light burns out, flickers or fills with water, the pool loses that appeal, and a damaged fixture should be dealt with before it causes bigger problems.
Many older pools still use incandescent or halogen lights that use more energy and need bulb changes more often. Modern LED pool lights use less power, last longer and can offer a range of colors, which makes an upgrade a popular choice when an old light fails. Because LED lights run cooler, they can also be gentler on lens gaskets and seals over time.
Signs a Pool Light Needs Attention
Reach out if you notice any of the following:
- The light will not turn on
- Flickering or dim lighting
- Water or condensation inside the lens
- A cracked or loose lens or trim ring
- The light trips the breaker or GFCI
- Rust or corrosion on the fixture
Safe, Careful Light Replacement
Pool lights combine water and electricity, so safety comes first. We turn off power before any work, remove the fixture from its niche, inspect the cord, gasket and niche, and then install a new light or LED replacement that fits your pool.
We test the new light, check that it is sealed properly and make sure it works with your switch or automation system. If we see signs of a deeper electrical problem, we explain what we found and recommend the right next step. Our 20 years of experience with pool equipment helps make sure the job is done carefully.
Pool Light Questions
Do you need to drain the pool to replace a light?
Usually not. Most pool lights are designed so the fixture can be lifted out of its niche and worked on at the deck.
Can I upgrade to an LED pool light?
In many cases yes. We can explain LED options that fit your existing niche and controls.
