Default Replace underwater pool light bulb- Safe ?

"parangles" wrote:

There is a underwater light in my pool in a circular fixture
that looks like a headlight on an old car .It has stopped
working. I am told that these are low voltage and the bulb
( if that is the problem) can be changed underwater without
draining the pool.
Anybody have any first hand experience with this ?
Thanks


It could be 12V light but with a high amperage. Think of you car battery can 24V.
You can get a pretty nasty jolt from its.

Last summer I had a similar problem after a lot of testing I found out that a
relay connected to the lamp was malfunctioning and the lamp itself was OK. I had
to go thought a lot of wires before finding that out.
