Hi,

I replaced my light bulb two weeks ago with a new bulb, and replaced with a new gasket. It is a pentair light set up. I didn't like the color of the light, and wanted to go with a white color light (not the orange/yellow one). I am planning to swap the bulb out, and my question is, do I have to replace the new gasket I put in two weeks ago with another one? I know you are supposed to replace it whenever you open it, but am not sure in this case. Thanks!

If you haven't run the light much, or it is an LED bulb, the gasket you have should be fine. For best longevity, get a silicone gasket for that light.
