Signs Your Pool Light Needs Attention
Pool lights do not always fail all at once. Watch for these warning signs: the light flickers or dims intermittently, the light takes longer to turn on, water has entered the light fixture housing, the GFCI breaker trips when the light is turned on, the light works sometimes but not consistently, or you notice visible corrosion on the fixture or niche.
If your pool light is tripping a breaker, do not continue to reset it. This is a safety concern that should be diagnosed by a professional.
Why Pool Lighting Matters
Pool lighting serves purposes beyond aesthetics. Proper lighting is essential for safety, allowing swimmers and those around the pool to see clearly after dark. It enhances security by illuminating your pool area and discouraging unwanted access. It extends enjoyment of your pool into the evening hours, making night swimming possible and inviting. It creates ambiance for entertaining and relaxation. And well-maintained pool lighting adds to your property value.
LED Upgrade Benefits
If your pool still uses traditional incandescent lights, upgrading to LED is one of the best investments you can make. LED pool lights use up to 80% less electricity, last 30,000 or more hours compared to 2,000-5,000 for incandescent bulbs, offer color-changing options for customizable ambiance, produce less heat, and require far less frequent replacement.
Our Repair Process
We start by diagnosing the problem, which may involve testing the circuit, inspecting the fixture, and checking connections. Once we identify the issue, we explain your options and provide pricing before proceeding. All repairs are performed with safety as the top priority, especially when working with electrical components near water.

Pool lighting involves electricity and water in close proximity. This is not a DIY project. Improper installation or repair can create serious shock hazards. Our technicians understand pool electrical systems and follow proper safety protocols for every lighting job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace pool light bulbs myself?
Pool lighting involves removing the light fixture from the niche underwater, which requires understanding of electrical safety. Professional service is strongly recommended.
How long do pool light bulbs last?
Incandescent bulbs typically last 2,000-5,000 hours. LED lights can last 30,000+ hours.
Is it worth upgrading to LED?
For most pools, yes. LED pool lights use up to 80% less electricity, last much longer, and offer color-changing options.
Why does my pool light keep tripping the breaker?
Repeated tripping usually indicates a ground fault, often from water intrusion. This is a safety concern and should be diagnosed promptly.
Can you add lights to a pool that doesn't have them?
Adding new lights to an existing pool is possible but involves more extensive work. We can assess feasibility and provide options.
How does salt air affect pool lighting in coastal areas?
Salt air can accelerate corrosion on light fixtures, electrical connections, and transformers. We inspect lighting components for salt-related wear during regular maintenance.
