Hi... I recently changed my pool light from a 500w incandescent to a 50w LED. I ordered a new round Hayward seal and tightened it down to what I thought was satisfactory. I returned the light to the sidewall, turned it on and everything was good.. actually better than the old light. The next night after it was turned on, the light soon started to flicker at a rapid rate and eventually burned out. This morning I removed the light and found it to have WATER inside the casing where the bulb was screwed in. I’m guessing THIS IS NOT GOOD?
What did I do wrong? Should I have used waterproof silicone around the seal or around the socket?
Thanks
