...that's in the ceiling above the pool?
There are currently 4 fixtures with BR30 incandescent bulbs. They still work, but I want to swap them for LED's. (multi-color smart bulbs)
I've never used an extended bulb changer, but I assume I'll have to be in the pool while I do this, and on the deep-end slope no less.
I'm not assuming that the old bulbs will even come out. Based on the previous owners maintenance habits, they've been in there a long time.
Complicating matters is that fact that the bulbs I want cost $50 ea. No-one wants broken glass in their pool, but I really don't want to break a $50 bulb, or two, or three.
Help!
My plan:
Buy a changer. I'd like to find an adapter so I could use my nice pool pole instead of junking up the garage with something that I may never use again. Turn off power, keep the cover on the pool but fold it over so I can get as close as possible. If a bulb drops, I'd prefer it hit the cover instead of the water. If the bulbs come out, THEN I'll spring for the LED's, coat the bases with dialectric grease and install them.
Any advice?
