Changing out a light fixture

This procedure should be done by a certified professional.



Turn off all electriciy going to your pool and landscape








Find the Junction Box and unscrew the top. Test the wires with a volt meter to make sure no current is going through them.



Take a picture off the wiring so you can refer to it when rewire it.



Pull apart all wires that pertain to the lights you are working on. (This picture shows that we were working on all three lights)



Tie a strong string to the end of the pool light wires and tape it very well so they don't separate when you are pulling the light cord through the conduit. (Remember to get string long that the light is from the equipment.)



When you pull the cord all the way out, untie the string, tie the new light wire onto the same string (Use Tape Again) and pull the cord back through the conduit to the J Box.



Screw in the light to the niche and rewire.
Turn the breakers back on.

Things to remember:
If you are doing this for multiple lights, change out the string with each light, as the string may get weak with each pull.
If you are changing out the spa light, it is easiest to drain the spa first.
Make sure the light you are replacing has the same amount of wires as the old light.
