If many swimming pools are equipped with LED underwater lights, on the one hand, they can provide lighting, making the swimming pool no longer dark at night and enhancing safety; on the other hand, they can also decorate the pool and become a unique scenic feature. However, just like other types of lamps in other locations, underwater lights may burn out or malfunction. So, how should we replace or repair them? Do we need to drain the water from the pool? Here, we will teach you how to replace the underwater lights!
1. First, locate the distribution box that connects all the underwater lights, cut off all the power supplies, press the switch of the lamps, and check if the power has been completely cut off.
2. It would be best to prepare two screwdrivers, either Phillips or flat-head ones, and unscrew the top screws on the lamp.For some models of underwater lights, there will be a snap at the bottom. By grasping the snap, you can loosen the lamp.
3. Remove the pool lights from the hanging fixtures/pre-installed parts. Generally speaking, when installing LED underwater lights, 1-2 meters of electrical cable is usually reserved. Therefore, we don't need to drain the water from the swimming pool. Just pull the underwater lights to the pool shore directly.
4. Remove the screws from the lampshade or pry open the lampshade.For some older pool lights, you must first unscrew the screws before removing the lampshade. Most new pool lights have snap-on covers, and you can remove the lampshade by simply prying open the snap-on cover.
5. Temporarily connect the power supply, and test if the bulb is lighting up.
6. Light the bulb for a short while to confirm that the pool light is working properly. Then, cut off the power supply and reinstall the pool light in its original position to complete the replacement.
