It would help if your arms are 4 or 5 feet long. Can't reach this one from the deck!

In the U.S.A. the NEC requires the cord be long enough to pull the light out of the niche and set it on the pool deck for servicing. You lay down on your stomach and hang over in the pool and unscrew the light no need to get in the pool.

Thank you for the information. It was very helpful, my problem is that water got inside the lens. You inspected the sealer but didn't mention what to do if isn't OK. Please advise
