Procedure how to install a pool light

1. Lower the water level of the pool. You can do it in two ways:

  • If the light bulb installation was correct, It is not necessary to lower the water level of the pool, they generally leave enough cable inside the bulb to be able to dismantle it and raise it to the surface to change the bulb.
  • If the installation was not correct, You will have to lower the water level enough to be able to work safely, or empty the pool if you need to clean the glass or repair damaged tile, in turn you can carry out all the necessary work to tune up your pool. 

2. Disconnect the electrical current that supplies current to the bulb. 

3. Remove the plastic trim that covers the screws to remove the bulb. 

4. Remove the screws that hold the trim of the bulb and completely dismantle the bulb. In this case the cable has been cut to make the new connections. 

5. Clean the area well where the new LED spotlight will be installed. This type of LED comes from the factory with the connections made and sealed, they usually come with a cable length of 1,5 meters. 

6. Pass the cable through the plastic tube located inside the pool wall to a watertight box on the outside to subsequently make the connection. 

7. Place the new LED bulb, Screw the spotlight into its corresponding place, tighten the screws well and place the trim that covers the fixing screws to the wall. 

8. Connect the cables that you passed to the waterproof box of the new LED bulb with the light line for turning on the bulb. Turn on the main power switch and check that it works correctly. 

9. To finish the installation, raise the water level from the pool, if you had to lower it, and enjoy the summer nights with your illuminated pool.
