Frequent
Questions

How often should pool lights be replaced?

Costs vary depending on the type of light, pool size, and complexity of installation. On average, it can range from $400 to $1500 per light.

Some pool lights are just a lamp and gasket repair.  Integral LED fixtures, when they fail, are not able to be repaired.
