re: Replacing Pool Light - Need Help

In the future, if you need to change a bulb it can be done without draining the pool even if you don’t have enough lack in the wiring. I was in the same situation last year. I disconnected the wiring at the junction box and used electrical tape to tape the light wiring to a piece of rope. I was then able to get the light up to the pool deck and change the bulb and the lens gasket. Once finished, a quick pull on the rope and the wire was back in its original position.
