Pool Light Replacement

They cover the full job: replacing burned-out bulbs and water-logged LED units, swapping corroded wet niches and damaged junction boxes, repairing or replacing low-voltage transformers, and fixing or installing the GFCI that protects the circuit. They also verify the bonding and grounding so the fixture and the water around it are safe.

Swapping a simple screw-in bulb on a powered-down, drained-niche fixture is within reach for some homeowners, but anything involving the wet niche, the wiring, the GFCI, or the bonding belongs to a licensed electrician. Water and electricity together leave no room for a guess, and a pro confirms every connection is grounded and sealed before the pool goes back into use.

Cost depends on whether you need just a lamp or LED unit, a full wet-niche fixture, and how much wiring or GFCI work the circuit requires. A straightforward LED or bulb replacement typically runs about $150 to $450, while a complete fixture with new wiring and a niche commonly lands between $600 and $1,500. The electrician confirms the price after seeing the fixture and the circuit.
