Hi guys! So last year we replaced our pool light bulb but it didn't last very long and was doing weird stuff like staying on for a while then going out, then we would turn the switch off and then on again like 15 min later and it would work for a while then go out........repeat. Anyway, finally got the thing out today and it is totally blown (which we knew). I was half wondering if we maybe got the wrong size although I don't think so because the year before we changed it too and took that previous years bulb with us to the store when replacing it last year. I'm thinking the weird off and on light issue was because the bulb was junk. Especially since we replaced it with the same size as the year before. AND, when we took the fixture out it was totally dry inside and everything seemed fine.
Anyway, it has me iffy on a replacement. But the fixture itself did not have a model number or anything on it that I could tell. It did give a number but when I look it up I can't seem to find anything. Mind you this pool and fixture is about 15 years old so, doesn't surprise me that I can't find info. But anyway, the size we had in there was a 500 Watt 120 volt. Based on this pic, would you say that is correct? Thanks! I see they have a little chart on the fixture but the number on the fixture to the left does NOT match any of those numbers. Strange.
Oh and, I am conteplating getting one of those LED bulbs that change different colors. Ya know, one of the ones that screw in like this bulb we had in before. We are NOT interested in replacing the entire niche/fixture to set it up the other way. Can that even be done.......getting one of those multi-colored LED bulbs? If so, do you have any recommendations? Thanks!!
