When your pool or spa light fails and you need to replace the bulb, the first question you have to answer is what kind of light do you have. You will need to know the manufacture name, model #, voltage and wattage of your light. This information is generally on a label on the backside of the light fixture. This guide shows you how to get to that information.

Can I replace a bulb with a lower wattage bulb? Currently have 120V / 400 W light but it is too bright for my small pool.Reply

Tim - We generally sell 100 watt or 300 watt systems. No 400 watt systems. If you have the old incandescent lights, you probably have a 300 watt system. If you have converted over to LED lights with much reduced wattage, you can use the 100 watt system.Reply

12V LED - If you currently have a 120V Bulb and you want to replace it with a 12V LED, you must first install a transformer, generally at the house, to convert 120V to 12V. Without the transformer, you will blow the new bulb. Here's a link to a typical transformer: Intermatic 300 Watt TransformerReply

Can I replace my old light bulb with a 12 volt LED? I'm not sure what the current voltage is?Reply

Short light cord - Sounds like a good approach. Tie a strong cord or fish tape to the light cable at the house connection end; pull out an extra 10' or 15' of cable on the pool end to get the light onto the deck; then pull the 10' to 15' back when you are done to reconnect it to the house box.Reply

I have a pool light on the deep end burned out but when I removed the light from the niche, I find there is not sufficient cable to raise the fixture to the pool deck in order to work on it. Not sure if I can tie onto cable and pull it through and back or if I should replace the entire light fixture, and if so, would the water have to be drained to below the light?Reply

No power to light - Take the light fixture apart again and check the power at the light lead to make sure you have power to the light.Reply

I took the fixture out and when I started to unscrew the bulb it broke . thats when I noticed this little spring. The spring is broken. All of the fixtures have this spring. Why and what purpose does it serve?Reply

Jack - I can't tell you exactly with more information, but..Many of the lights installed at that time were American Products, like the one in this. Go to this link and see if the parts look like yours. Also when you select a light or gasket from the list of parts, it will provide some dimensions to check against. Link is http://www.inyopools.com/pool_parts_pentair_amerlite_pool_light.aspx. Note see bottom of product page. This light used to be sold under American Products.Reply

I have removed the pool light, but I don't see any identifying information on the lense and the label on the light itself is not ledgible. I was told that the pool is a Anthony pool (probably from 80's). My light fixture looks very similar to the one in the photo...I don't want to order the wrong replacement light fixutre. Any suggestions?Reply
