Hi all,
Moved into a house in 2020 with a nice pool at the front. The light installed has recently been flickering and I thought that I would change it, I have done this in the past with other pools and it is normally quite easy and painless.
This time however I saw that it wasn't a normal housing and that there appeared to be a much smaller hole. I removed 6 x screws which then resulted in air being released from the light housing. I removed the attached white piece which then gave access to the light diffuser / cover and globe. There was no wiring tail on the globe as per normal allowing it to be removed from the water for maintenance.
In the attached photos you will see the white piece, bottom left, that goes over the diffuser / cover with the globe sitting behind that. There is an o-ring between the housing of the light (built into wall) and the diffuser / cover keeping water out. It looks like an MR-16 type socket and globe? The transformer on the other side is a 12Vac, 4.2A 50VA output.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Does anyone know where I can get a replacement globe from? Does this even look safe?
My plan for replacement would be to drain water from the pool to leave the area dry. Then install new globe with o-ring to keep water tight. The pool is about 4-5 years old and I believe this would be the first globe replacement, based on knowledge of previous owners...
Any help is much appreciated.
