Replacing a Broken Pool Light Bulb
Most of my questions begin with removing the assembly from the pool (while still submerged), which is not shown here. I'll see if there's other videos that may help with this.
This video was the most helpfull of all the others I've seen. My first time changing my bulb wasn't going well. I too was putting gasket over lense and housing (I should have paid more attention when deassembling). Anyway thanks for the instruction. One thing I noticed about the video was to top of the ring should be lined up with the arrow on the housing (same with the top of the lense). I don't know the significance, but figure it's there for a reason.
Assuming your light still comes on normally and you know where the exposed wires are, have a buy some "liquid black tape' at lowes.
apply a layer, let dry, and repeat two more times- i am assuming you have found the exposed wire ?
If your light is fed by ground faulted GFCI circuit breaker, you should be safe from electrocution

This video has helped me majorly! We have a seal properly installed on our pool. Turns out, we were putting the seal around the case, NOT the lens. Thank you so much for your help.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah .........Don't run over the glass that is gonna be all over the street cuz you dumped it in the bed of your truck instaed of maybe a box or trash......Wow talk about back yard handyman.....Where is the duct tape? This guy runs a pool business?
ReplyDeleteLMAO I hope it's his own pool....He states it's a good idea to replace the gasket then uses the same one ??? But the best is when you see and hear one a trim ring clamp piece hit the street. He doesn't pick it up or even notice. He re-installs the trim ring and tightens the clamp. No worries on replacing the gasket here. It's gonna be full of water anyway lol......Thank you pool guy I needed a laugh.

Just changed my pool light. This video was very helpfull especially on pointing the half moons on the light fixture in the right direction. Had trouble with the gasket tho, as which way faced outward or exactly how it went on. Found the info printed on the gasket, tho not easy to find. Black letters on a black gasket. I used tube lube as well on the gasket which was not mentioned on this video.
