How to change a inground pool light?

is it dangeriousHow to change a inground pool light?It is not dangerous. And it is usually fairly easy. Look closely at the metal ring which encases the glass. You will see a screw head, usually at the top. Unfasten this one screw and the entire housing can be pulled out of the niche. The electrical cord is, by law, long enough to allow the whole fixture to lay on the pool deck,whereupon you can figure out the rest. By the way, you should turn the light off, but only because the heat builds-up fast with no water to draw it away.

Also, most screws can be reached from the deck by laying flat to extend your arms down.How to change a inground pool light?the light fixture will rise above the water before you even get to the light it self or any electrical connections so you do not need to drain the pool at all
