For starters I’ve been in commercial and residential construction for over 30 years, so I tend to look at a potential project where I look for items that will cause headaches or challenges. For this one, I was concerned with pulling the wire into my existing conduit that the pool builder installed, i.e. was it glued properly and most importantly for this project did he install the right size conduit?
Well, since these lights are new technology LED’s they require less power, so the wire is much smaller see attached photo, the orange wire is the original light wire. I say this so you can save yourself a step, I pulled the old light wire out into the pool with a pull string attached then tied the new light wire to the pull string and then pulled the new lights back to the junction box. What I could have done was cut the existing light’s cord and tied the new lights to it inside the pool and in one step pulled the old wires out and the new wires in back to the junction box.
