How do I change the light in my pool?


Light bulb or complete light? 

Light bulb – remove the screw on the top of the chrome ring around the light.  There will be enough cord wrapped around the light unit to allow you to bring the whole light unit up onto the deck. 
You then disassemble the light (tabs & screws or wire clamp assembly) and change the light bulb. 
We recommend changing the light gasket at the same time to ensure a tight seal.  DO NOT USE LUBE ON THE GASKET! 
Reassemble the light and replace into the niche in the wall and reinstall the screw. 

Complete light – purchase a light unit with enough cord to reach your j-box with extra to allow the unit to be put on the deck for future bulb changes. 
Cut the old light unit off the cord right behind the unit. 
Tie the end of the new cord to the cut end of the old cord. 
Working from the j-box, pull the old cord out.  This will pull the new cord through the brass conduit leading from the light unit to the j-box. 
Disconnect the two cords,
Connect the new cord to the power source and install the new light unit into the niche in the wall.  Better yet, call our service department for an appointment for them to install the light!
