We have a 20 year old gunite pool and wanted to replace the pool and spa lights with a new LED unit.
Last year, the electrician easily pulled out the pool light (junction box a few feet from pool deck has 3 conduits, 1 to pool light, 1 to spa light (much further than pool light) and 1 to panel), but could not pull out the spa cable; felt like it was stuck and would not pull out from the junction box. The electrician commented that it could be broken conduit (we have never had anything else broken relative to the pool before - seems well built) but also he felt like there could be a junction box or otherwise underground and the light cable knotted inside it. He suggested we dig a little. Has anyone ever seen this before or have any other ideas?
(We only replaced the pool light last year after getting stuck and plan to address the spa light this year)
