What we fix
Common pool light problems, solved.
01
Bulb replacement
Burned-out or flickering bulb? We replace it with the right lamp for your fixture, halogen, incandescent, or an LED upgrade.
02
Lens gasket replacement
Water inside the lens kills bulbs and trips breakers. We reseal the fixture with a new gasket so the fix actually lasts.
03
Fixture replacement & LED upgrades
Corroded or outdated fixture? We install modern LED units, brighter, color-capable, and far cheaper to run than old halogens.

The Process of Pool Light Repair
Lights on the fritz? Figuring out what’s wrong can be frustrating and time-consuming. Is it the bulb? Is it a problem with the wiring? Maybe it’s a timer. Our experts take the hassle out of pool light repair with a fast, accurate diagnosis and professional repair. In addition to expert pool light repair, we can also help you upgrade your lighting. From LEDs to pool automation systems, we can create a customized lighting design to suit your needs and help you live your life effortlessly.
Pool Light Problems: Understanding the Issue
Pool lights can suffer from quite a few different problems. Some of those we see most often include: • Pool Light Bulb Replacement: Underwater bulbs and gasket replacement is one of the most common needs we see. • Pool Light Lens Gasket Replacement: Without a functional gasket, water can reach your underwater lights, creating a safety hazard. • Replacing Pool Light Fixtures: Sometimes, the entire fixture needs to be replaced (or upgraded).

Typical ranges across our California service areas
Pool light repair typically runs between $100 and $400. A simple bulb replacement is on the lower end. Gasket replacement, conduit work, or GFCI troubleshooting runs toward the middle. Wiring repairs are toward the higher end. We give you a full estimate after the initial diagnosis.
We strongly advise against DIY pool light repair. Underwater electrical work carries serious shock hazards, and incorrect gasket installation allows water to intrude into the fixture and potentially into the wiring conduit. Our technicians follow strict lockout procedures and use proper testing equipment.
Flickering usually indicates either a failing bulb, a loose connection inside the fixture, or water intrusion through a deteriorated gasket. We check all three before quoting any parts. Flickering LED fixtures often have a driver issue rather than the LED array itself.
Incandescent pool bulbs typically last 1,000 to 2,000 hours. LED pool lights last 30,000 to 50,000 hours. If you are replacing incandescent bulbs frequently, an LED upgrade pays back its installation cost through energy savings and dramatically reduced replacement frequency.
Water inside the light fixture means the housing gasket has failed. Turn off the light immediately and do not use it until repaired. Water in the fixture can shatter the bulb when energized, damage the lens and housing, and allow water to reach the wiring conduit.
Yes. LED upgrades are available for most incandescent pool light niches and are one of the most cost-effective improvements for pool owners. Modern LED systems use up to 75% less energy, offer color-changing modes, and last 20 to 30 times longer than incandescent.

Our 23 year old beloved waterfall pump failed us so we called a few companies. Cabana Pool Service, Ron Cody, called us back quickly. I texted him some photos of our equipment and he was able to quote us quickly over the phone and that they could schedule us three days from then. Ryan and Greg arrived for the repair exactly when they said they would arrive and they promptly and professionally not only replaced our waterfall pump but also one of our pool lights. We are very happy with their work and would highly recommend. Thanks Ryan and Greg!

I live in Olivenhain, and Cabana Pool Service has been maintaining my pool weekly for about six months now. They’re always on time, polite, and very thorough. My water is always sparkling clean, and they keep my pump and filter in perfect condition. I recently had them replace my pool lights too, and they look incredible. If you’re in Olivenhain or Encinitas and need dependable pool maintenance near me, I highly recommend Cabana Pool Service.

I've used Cabana Pool Service here in Roseville for almost a year now, and they've completely transformed my pool. When I first called, my water was cloudy and the filter system wasn't working properly. Their team came out, replaced the filter, cleaned the pool thoroughly, and got everything running smoothly again. They now handle my regular pool cleaning and maintenance every month, and the results are perfect. If you live in Johnson Ranch, Rancho Cordova, or anywhere in Roseville and need reliable pool service near me, these are the people to call.
