What is the cost to change a light bulb in a swimming pool?

Answer 1

Subject to the light unit at the right height in the wall, so it can be serviced from the pool deck. It takes about an hour to change the bulb £48-54 plus the bulb £39 for 300w Certikin or £39 for halogen.

Answer 2

no the pool will get shocked and who ever is in it will die :( Well to improve on the above. Normal light bulbs or spot lights are not designed to illuminate in the same way that a swimming pool bulb would be. If the original light fixture was installed as per code it should have a GFCI in the system to prevent electrocution. If the system has no GFCI a qualified electrician should install one right away or when the pool light is changed or the lighting system is worked on or serviced.

Answer 3

It is not recommended with most swimming pool lights for the sake of the light However swimming pool lights work on low voltage. the power goes through a transformer cutting it down for the sake of safety so even if you end up with a short circuit in the light there is no danger to the swimmers.

In the 35 years I have been building and remodeling swimming pools I can tell you over 99% of pool lights are 120v. Certainly not low voltage. They are however since 1977 wired through a GFCI breaker to cut the power in the event of a short. I still run into older pools whose light is wired directly to a switch with no safeguards in place.
