Pool Light Repair
A pool light that will not turn on is usually a bulb, a gasket, or a connection issue rather than a dead fixture. We diagnose the actual cause and get the light working again without pulling the whole fixture if we do not have to.

Hillside Pool & Spa repairs and upgrades pool lights across Georgetown, from a simple bulb swap to a full LED conversion, with a clear written quote before any work.
Pool lighting covers everything from a dead bulb to a full fixture and transformer replacement. Here is the lighting work we handle across Georgetown pools.
A pool light that will not turn on is usually a bulb, a gasket, or a connection issue rather than a dead fixture. We diagnose the actual cause and get the light working again without pulling the whole fixture if we do not have to.
Converting an old incandescent pool light to LED gives you brighter light, lower power use, and color options the old bulb could never do. We swap the fixture or the bulb and confirm the new light runs clean on your transformer.
When a fixture is corroded, leaking, or beyond a bulb swap, we replace the whole light with a quality unit that fits your niche. We seal the new fixture properly so water stays out and the light holds up season after season.
The niche that holds the light and the conduit that carries the wire can corrode or leak over time. We repair or replace the niche and seal the conduit so the light sits secure and the connection stays dry.
A pool light that flickers or dims often points to a failing transformer or one that is undersized for the load. We test the transformer, replace it if needed, and size the new one so the light runs steady and safe.
Adding a color LED light changes the whole look of the pool after dark, from a calm blue to a full color show. We install color lights that work with your existing niche and transformer, and we walk you through the controls.
We service Hayward and Pentair pool lights, the two brands most common across Georgetown pools, along with Jandy and a number of other manufacturers. That covers the fixtures, the bulbs, the transformers, and the color light controls for each. Familiarity with your specific light is what keeps a repair quick and accurate instead of a long hunt for the right part. We stock the bulbs and gaskets we see every week.
We install genuine LED bulbs and fixtures from Hayward, Pentair, and trusted aftermarket suppliers, sized to fit your existing niche and transformer. Using the right part the first time is what keeps the light sealed and running steady instead of failing again a few weeks later. We also size the transformer to the new load so the LED runs at full brightness. When a part costs more than the fixture is worth, we tell you straight up.
We trace the light problem to the real cause, quote the fix in writing, and verify the light runs before we leave.
We test the bulb, the fixture, the transformer, and the wiring so we know exactly what is keeping the light from working before we recommend a repair or a replacement.
Before any work starts we send a straightforward written quote for the parts and labor, so you know the plan and the scope, no pressure.
We replace the bulb or fixture, seal the niche, and power the light up to confirm it runs steady and safe before we leave the pool.
Pool light repair is the most common lighting call we get, and the cause is usually a burned out bulb, a failed gasket, or a tripped breaker rather than a dead fixture. We test the bulb, the fixture, and the transformer in order to find the actual problem instead of swapping parts until something works. Most light repairs are straightforward once we trace them to the source, and we carry the common bulbs and gaskets so a fix can often happen the same visit. You get clear notes on what we found and what we did.
When water has gotten into the fixture, we replace the gasket or the whole fixture and confirm the light runs dry and safe before we leave. A wet fixture can trip a breaker or corrode the connection, so we treat it as a priority. We also check the transformer and the wiring, because a light problem is sometimes a power problem in disguise. If your light is flickering or dim, the transformer is the first place we look.
Converting an old incandescent pool light to LED is one of the easiest upgrades you can make, and it gives you brighter light, lower power use, and color options the old bulb could never do. Some conversions are a simple bulb swap inside the existing fixture, while others need a new fixture that fits your niche. We check your transformer to make sure it can handle the LED load, because an undersized transformer will leave the light dim or flickering. The result is a cleaner, brighter pool at night for a fraction of the power.
LED lights also last far longer than incandescent bulbs, which means fewer bulb swaps and fewer trips into the water to change a light. For pools with a single light, we can talk about adding a second fixture to spread the light more evenly across the pool. An LED conversion pairs well with a pool remodel if you are already changing the finish and the tile. We walk you through the controls before we leave so you know how to run the new light.
A failing pool light is more than a nuisance, it can point to water in the fixture or a transformer on its way out. These signs tell you it is time to have the light looked at.
Catching a light problem early is what prevents a tripped breaker, a corroded connection, or a fixture that has to be replaced instead of repaired.
Our first move is always to see whether a bulb, a gasket, or a transformer can fix the light, because a simple repair is often all an older fixture needs. We diagnose the actual failing part and give you an honest read on whether a repair will hold or whether a replacement is the smarter long call. When a fixture is corroded, leaking, or too far gone, we recommend a quality replacement that fits your existing niche. We give a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure, so you can decide what works for your home.
When a replacement is the better path, we install a fixture that fits your niche and your transformer, so the swap is clean and the new light works with what you already own. We seal the fixture properly and test it in the water before we leave. Light repairs and replacements are separate from weekly cleaning, and we lay out the plan clearly so there are never surprise charges. The goal is a safe, bright pool light that runs steady for the long haul.
