Upon opening my pool this year the bulb in my pool light seemed to have died. I replaced it with an LED one. (I replaced the gasket as well). However, as I was putting it back in the niche I noticed a weird phenomenon...
If I rotate the assembled housing about 20 degrees to the right, the light turns off. As soon as I rotate it back it comes back on. My immediate thought was the wire in cable has a break and depending on the cable bend it’s making or breaking the connection. However, if I hold it at the bad angle and wiggle the cable all around it won’t come back on. Likewise if I hold it in the normal position I can't get it to go off.
Is there something inside the unit itself that would cause this? It's a standard Hayward sp540 or whatever.
