Tingling in the water or sparks? Get everyone out, power off at the breaker if safe & call 911 if anyone is hurt.

Pool lights and light parts

LED and incandescent pool lights, niches, lenses and transformers, matched to the light you have now. Have a licensed electrician install them.

Last updated · Reviewed by the Pool Helpline tech team

Two safe first checks

  • From outside the water: is the light's switch, timer or automation circuit on, and has its GFCI tripped? Don't reset a GFCI that keeps tripping. Call an electrician.
  • Look from the deck: is there water or fog inside the lens?

Still not sure? Show a pool tech on a short video call before you buy, so you only order the part you need.

What to send us

The tag on the light's cord or the label on the fixture (if an electrician has it out), the voltage, the niche size if you know it, and how long the old cord is.

Where to find the model and part numbers

  • Lights usually have a tag on the cord or a label on the fixture with the model and voltage.
  • Tell us the niche size if you know it, and the cord length the old light had.
  • Power off at the breaker. Removing, opening or reinstalling a pool light is a job for a licensed electrician.

Common questions

Can I switch my old pool light to LED?

Often, yes. Many LED replacements are made to fit common niches. Send us the old light's details and we'll match one, and have a licensed electrician install it.

Can I change a pool light bulb myself?

Pool lights sit in the water and are wired to the house's electrical system. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns about electrical hazards in and around pools. Have a licensed electrician do it.

Can I return a pool light?

Lights are electrical parts, and electrical parts and special orders can't be returned once ordered. We confirm the match with you before you pay.
