First time DIY'er here trying to replace to Globrite bubbler lights. Failed after 4 years like I've seen many other users in the forum. The bubblers still bubble, but the lights don't work. Do I need to replace the entire housing and bulb, or can I just replace the bulb? Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
The Globrite lights are a single unit, light and cord. I am not familiar with their use in a bubbler. Do you have the documentation from the installation?

mknauss, thank you for your reply. This is what they look like. I believe the light bulb just sits inside the plastic housing and the housing leaked....so I'm assuming I need to replace the housing as well. Screen Shot 2022-05-06 at 8.58.44 AM.png

If the housing is leaking, I suspect it needs to be replaced.

Does this light coordinate with other lights in the pool?

Ok. So you will have to stay with the Globrite. Budget them to fail at 3 years or so.
