Can I convert my old pool lights to LED?
Yes, most existing fixtures can accommodate LED retrofit bulbs. We evaluate your current setup and recommend compatible LED solutions that provide energy savings and enhanced features.

GFCI tripping indicates electrical leakage, often from water intrusion into fixtures. This is a serious safety concern requiring immediate professional attention to prevent electrical hazards.

Lighting requirements depend on pool size, shape, and desired brightness. Generally, one light per 200-300 square feet provides good illumination. We design layouts for optimal coverage.
Can you sync my pool lights with my home automation?
Yes, modern LED systems integrate with popular automation platforms like Pentair IntelliTouch, Jandy AquaLink, and smart home systems. We handle complete integration and programming.
What's the cost difference between white and color-changing LEDs?
