    Pool Light niche is cockeyed!

    My pool, built in 2006, has 4 Jandy color-changing 120V halogen lights: two big ones and two little ones (one in the spa). We didn't notice this until a few years ago, but the two large lights are in niches that were installed cockeyed when the pool was built, so the screw receivers are at...
