Swimming Pool Lighting Repair
Pool lights aren’t just for looks—they also keep your pool safe and enjoyable at night. A well-lit pool area adds beauty, makes swimming safer, and allows you to enjoy evening swims or late-night gatherings. At Gator Pool and Spa, we offer expert pool light repair services to restore your pool’s glow without interrupting your fun. Whether your lights are flickering, dim, or completely out, our trained technicians can quickly diagnose and fix the issue.
Can My Pool Light Be Repaired?
Yes! In many cases, your pool light can be repaired instead of replaced. Whether it’s a faulty bulb, wiring issue, or fixture problem, our team has the skills to get your pool light working again. Sometimes a full replacement may be needed, but we always start with careful troubleshooting to find the best option.
If your light is outdated or beyond repair, upgrading to an energy-efficient LED system can save you money in the long run while providing brighter, longer-lasting light. No matter the situation, we’ll guide you through your options so you can make the best choice for your pool.
Repair Swimming Pool Lights Without Draining?
In most cases, yes. Many pool light repairs can be done without draining the water, since the electrical components are sealed inside a waterproof housing below the waterline. If a drain is needed, we’ll let you know upfront, but often repairs are simpler than expected.
- LED Pool Lights – Cost a little more initially but save money over time thanks to energy efficiency and long life.
- Halogen Pool Lights – Brighter than traditional bulbs, but use more energy and don’t last as long.
- Incandescent Pool Lights – Affordable upfront, but short lifespan and less efficiency compared to LEDs.
Signs For Pool Light Replacement
Here are some common signs that it’s time to replace your pool lights:
- Flickering or dimming – If your light flickers or is noticeably dimmer, the bulb may be failing.
- Frequent burnout – Constantly replacing bulbs is a sign the fixture or wiring may need attention.
- Outdated technology – Older lights may no longer meet safety standards or efficiency needs.
- Incandescent: ~1,000 hours (about 200 days if on 5 hours/day)
- Halogen: ~1,500 hours (about 300 days if on 5 hours/day)
-
LED: ~20,000 hours (about 11 years if on 5 hours/day)
Common Pool Light Repair Complications
Sometimes pool light issues are quick fixes, while other times they require professional attention. Here are some of the most common problems we handle:
Leaky Pool Light
When the gasket around the fixture wears out, water can seep inside and damage the light. Replacing the gasket usually solves the issue.
Burnt-Out Bulb
Just like household bulbs, pool light bulbs can burn out over time. A quick replacement brings the light back to normal.
Tripped Breaker
Electrical overloads or faults may trip the breaker, cutting power to the pool light. Resetting or repairing the circuit restores function.
Loose Fixture
A worn lock screw or loose housing can cause the light to shift, dim, or stop working, and tightening or replacing parts fixes it.

Reasons Your Pool Light May Not Be Working
If your pool light suddenly stops working, here are a few possible causes:
Tripped GFCI
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter shuts off power if it senses moisture or electrical imbalance. Resetting it often restores the light.
Bad Breaker
A worn-out or overloaded breaker can stop supplying power. It may need to be reset or replaced by a professional.
Line Continuity Issues
Damaged or corroded underground wiring can interrupt power flow, requiring inspection and repair to restore the light.
