    Basically you cut the old light cable off, tie the new cable onto the old one and use the old cable to pull the new one up through the conduit. If you ordered the right voltage (12v or 120v) light it should just be a matter of screwing things in after that. An hour, maybe much less.
    Thanks. That makes a lot of sense....there may be an DIY LED upgrade in my future....

    I ended up putting in a 120 watt equivalent LED flood lamp and its bright enough to light up my pool. Happy so far!
