I have an inground pool with an attached built-in spa. Last year, I had our pool light replaced with an LED (Pentair Intellibrite 5G) and this year I decided to replace the spa light as well with the same Pentair light. I was looking to save some cash, so I decided to do the work myself.
I haven't started to pull the old wire yet because I ran into something unexpected when I was disconnecting the wire at the panel. The conduit at the panel has the black/white/green wires from the spa light coming out of it (picture below), but there is also a blue wire that I assume was added when the pool light was replaced last year. The black wire goes to the spa light relay and the blue wire goes to the pool light relay. The white wire is attached to the GFI outlet. The two relays are jumpered to share the load connection.
I'm having a difficult time understanding how the tech would have wired the new pool light so that the only wire coming out of the conduit is the blue wire.
I am planning on pulling the spa cable through the conduit (with the new LED light cable attached on the other end), but I don't want to damage the pool wiring in the process. I don't see any other junction boxes downstream where the tech could have spliced the wires.
Does this sound like a reasonable way to manage the wiring?
