Hi guys,
First time post here. Recently bought a home with an in-ground salt water pool. Pool light wasn't working at the time of purchase, but I am fairly handy and figured I could fix. I finally got around to checking it out, and I think my work is cut out for me.
Upon removing the light housing at the deep end, I found the wire was cut, and the pool fixture floated out of it's cavity when the screw was removed. I then went and removed the cover from the switch on the other end of the pool and sure enough, the wires have been disconnected and capped in the box. It's a 120v circuit protected by a GFCI outlet in series. Pictures of the light below.
From searching, I've read some stuff about the existing cavity in the pool not being standard (of course) and a newer LED light not easily fitting. How hard is it to install an adapter plate? Based on the label on the old light, I fear this may be my only option. I'm going to buy a pair of goggles after work and take measurements inside the cavity.
Does anyone have any knowledge on this particular light that could help in finding a replacement? I'd prefer to have a correct fitting, new LED light in hand before I go through the trouble of pulling a new wire. I'm also contemplating installing a transformer for 12v, assuming I can find a correctly sized light fixture replacement.
Thanks!
