How to pull and replace a Pool light

[troyfordguy]

You sir saved me some SERIOUS money, I was quoted 2500 to replace the lights in my spa and pool. Did it my self for $500 using your methods, thank you!!

Just wanted to say thank you. I bought a 30+ yr old house with an inground pool. The light hasn't worked for years. I tried everything in my power (before calling a professional) to pull the the cord free. That sucker wouldn't budge! Just poured half a bottle of dish soap in the pipe...BOOM! I'm sure everyone has a different situation. Your advice worked for mine! Much appreciated.

As a pool service and repair technician I applaude you sir.

There are many ways to do a task but this is the best way! There are far to many wannabe pool guys out in the field doing crap work and putting others in unsafe situations. A nice video indeed

Great video - first time pool owner here, and the current light in my pond is trashed. I have a new LED light to run about 20 feet from the light box to the pond. Very helpful to see the tips about tying a pull-string, and knotting to the wire, and using dish soap in order to pull smoothly through the conduit. Great job - thank you!

3 hours ago I couldn’t get the wiring to budge. Now it’s free and ready for new wire. Thanks! Technique worked great.

thank you for your knowledge, could you educate me on the #8 insulated bonding wire that was inside you conduit, could that compromise the pull? have you pulled the bonding cable out ? this job it was no problem, i am concerned about my pull,

[marctestani]

The dish soap did the trick. Bravo fantastic advice

How do I find out what type of light brand is it? My parents inground pool was put in in the mid 1980s. The whole housing/ballast need to swapped out and we already bypass the timer box and I already put a new switch in and GFCI outlet. I lost current from the switch to the ballast. The ballast terminals are corroded and I figure the wire cable has a short somewhere. I like to swap it to a LED.

This is one of the best light videos on YouTube . Awesome, I love seeing how people do things compared to me, I use the conduit rope a lot

And yes heaps of soap lol

[stellarphysicalmedicine]

Nice video, very helpful. my question is this, is there pool water that seeps into the conduit up to the level of the pool? I tried pulling on my chord but it would not budge, it looked like it was held in place by a plastic gasket.

Thanks,
Lloyd

What to do if the wire fishing breaks in the middle when pulling in the new light?

[ArtVandelay]

Can you post a close up of the connection between the string and wire? Can't see it in the video.

I am having trouble getting original cable out of the conduit despite using dish detergent. Where can I buy or what is the model number of the tool you mentioned that may help pull the cable?
