Help me identify this light

Actually you want water around but not in the pot. You will have a rubber gasket at the front of the pot. The the lens goes between said gasket. There will be a clamp that squeezes it all together so that the entire assembly is water tight.

You may want to float the pot to be sure it is water tight now. Mine developed a leak through the stainless steel which was easily fixed by sanding both sides, opening the hole and applying PC7 epoxy through the clean hole I made and making sure the epoxy stuck well to the pot, inside and outside.

If you are missing parts and considering the PITA you are having with bulb ID and with the corrosion, maybe a new low voltage light may be in order.

If you do decide to go that route, let us know and we will run you though the procedure of fishing the new cord through your conduit.

Another thought, if possible, is to replace the existing sockets with something "standard" and go with easily found bulbs.

If you do use the old pot, shine her up inside and when you set the lens, make sure the lens is aligned with the bottom screw that holds the pot in place.

A couple more incorrect guesses from the district manager of the local pool store (chain). He said there's some guy in his Texas warehouse that's pretty amazing at identifying stuff like this on sight, so he sent that guy my photos.

They said a replacement socket would be around $400 most likely (he didn't really look anything else, just guessed) and also somewhat of a bear to fish through under the concrete. Being that it's only 3 years old I'd hate to replace it anyway. That'll be a last resort if this miracle worker in Texas can't figure it out.

Oh my, the wire was not run through a conduit for easy fishing of a new wire? As long as the PVC conduit is primed and glued water tight, there is no pool water leakage as your stub up must be well above your water level.

It may very well be, I'd have to drain off a large amount of water to find out, and I'm still hoping this magic man from the pool company can conjure up a bulb.

I suppose a side benefit would be the drain would reduce my tds a bit, right?

Looks like I'm not going to get anything out of the pool store. I'm guessing it might be one of two fairly expensive sta rite bulbs so I don't want to risk ordering them just to find out I'm wrong.

Anyone know of a reputable pool guy in the Pinellas county, Florida area that could put in a new light for me?

Sorry, but posting the name of people isn't allowed on the forum. Somebody can send you a PM with a suggestion if they want but not post it in a thread. Hope you understand.

I don't know much about pool lights, but I can help view the image in one screen. I use a plug-in for Firefox called Image Zoom. ( h††ps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/139/ ) With it installed, you can right-click on the photo, select Image Zoom, and image fit - that makes the pic fit in the window.

The more you know.
