How to Replace Fiber Optic Pool Lamp

Fiber optic pool lights are much brighter than traditional clear underwater lights. The LED lights in a fiber optic lamp are available in single colors or several colors. Color-changing lamps have several different colored LED lights throughout the color spectrum, lighting your pool in alternating intense bright colors. Replacing a fiber optic lamp follows the same steps as a traditional clear lamp.
