Hi All,
I have a 30-year-old pool with American Products/Pentair light fixtures (incandescent). Pool light is still working great after all of these years, but recently our spa light has started to shut off after being on for no longer than 5 mins. I tried to change the bulb (along with the gasket) and the problem continued, which tells me something is going on with the fixture itself and likely needs to be replaced.
I was quoted about $800-900 (per light) by a local pool company to change the pool/spa lights to Pentair Intellibrite 5g color changing lights, parts and labor included. I'm tempted to replace the fixtures myself (removing original fixtures, pulling the new wire through the conduit etc.,) as I'm fairly handy, but would absolutely have a licensed electrician hook the wires up and install a new GCFI.
Does this sound reasonable? Or would your recommendation be to just bite the bullet and have the pool company do the entire install. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
