Do in ground pool lights use conduit or just the wires buried deep
below the surface? I have a side view drawing of the pool when
constructed but it doesn't show electrical wires ,just a side view of
the pool.

The code requires conduit, either red brass (not used for decades) or
Rigid Nonmetallic Conduit (gray PVC)
There would be no way to replace or even install a light in a wet
niche without it.
Typically there is an unspliced STOW cord going from the sealed light
assembly to the elevated junction box somewhere near the edge of the
pool deck through this flooded conduit. There will also be an
insulated #8 bonding wire in there that bonds the niche to the
equipotential pool grid. (all metal within 5' of the water) The
connection to the niche is "potted" in epoxy or other listed compound.

Thanks for the clarity. I see the gray PVC go down in the ground, but
wasn't sure it traveled to the light and held the wire.

I replaced the bulb that was broken. Thought I got it right, maybe
not. I'll check and/or replace the bulb again in the Spring. I can
test the wire from the switch then. My BIL visited (EE), tested all
the electric at the breaker box near the pump and all has power.

We wondered it I broke a wire with a shovel, removing a few trees.

I did that when I found a broken bulb, made sure I didn't get or touch
the glass directly with oily or dirty hands. It is a 300W T3 Halogen
bulb.

Is a paper towel sufficient to not contaminate the glass?

I think they are lying about their light output.

I've not seen a 20 watt led capable of producing the same light output as a 300 watt halogen.

I doubt you will have any luck finding a LED replacement for a 300w halogen T3 RSC bulb. That seems like
quite an odd duck for a for a pool light.

If I were in your position, I would identify the Light fixture currently in your pool and see if I could find,
on eBay or Amazon, a replacement fixture that would fit your existing niche and that would accept an LED bulb.
I just can't imaging ****ing away that much power for a single pool illumination light bulb.

Depending upon your current light niche, I am finding quite a few fixtures for $100 - $150. I am now going to
bow out and leave any further detective work up to you, good luck.

Don't know it exists. 300W halogen is about 5900 lumens, 20W LED is
only about 1500 lumens. You may need 3 of them for the same output.

_Approximate_ values a

incandescents = 20 lumens/watt

halogens = 25 lumens/watt

LEDs and T5 fluorescents = 100 lumens per watt


While I realize that no one has ever been killed by a properly installed pool light,

I'd still try to find a 12 volt pool light that would totally remove the shock risk.

It is a shame there is so much chaff emanating from Google groups. The static drowns out the relevant content

Just use armoured cable, like the cable used to supply the house with power. I've used normal flex before, but it rots or gets eaten by something.

If you use the old versions of Agent, they do not get "installed". It
is an EXE that can run off a thumb drive and not leave any tracks in
the PC.

That would drain your pool. The pool light conduit is flooded by pool
water.

Not the bit where the electrical connections go.

It seems the lifeguard told a patron to stop ****ing in the pool.
The patron said, "Everyone ****es in the pool"
Lifeguard - "but not from the diving board"

The conduit goes directly into the wet niche and the cord to the lamp
runs through the flooded conduit. That is why the junction box has to
be elevated above the water line. There is pool water in the conduit.

What a weird idea. I'd design the lamp housing with the wire coming out the back, sealed off from the water.

The lamp housing is sealed but the conduit the cord runs through is
flooded
