Clearwater Pool Lighting Case Studies

Loose Transformer Supply Leads Corrected in Clearwater
May 2026

Problem: The pool-light system required an electrical check even though the fixture could illuminate and cycle through its color modes.

Diagnosis: The pool-light transformer was producing approximately 13 volts. The technician identified loose power leads to the transformer as the likely intermittent connection issue.

Solution: The affected transformer supply leads were replaced and secured.

Result: The pool light was documented as operating and cycling through its available colors and modes.

Multiple Pool and Spa Light Failures Diagnosed in Clearwater

September 2025

Problem: Three of four pool and spa lights at a Clearwater property were not providing normal illumination or color operation.

Diagnosis: The spa light and the pool light nearest the skimmer were burned out. The pool light across from the skimmer was stuck on red, while the sunshelf light continued to operate through its colors.

Recommendation: Replacing all four lights together was recommended for a consistent lighting system. No light installation was documented during this diagnostic visit.

Fiber-Optic Lighting Conversion to Nicheless LEDs in Clearwater — December 2018

Problem: An older fiber-optic pool-and-spa lighting layout required conversion to dedicated low-voltage LED fixtures and a new power arrangement.

Solution: Florida Pool Tech installed three Treo Pal nicheless color LED lights with 150-foot cords—two positioned at opposite ends of the pool and one placed in the spa's first step inside the existing dome fitting. A 300-watt, 12-volt Intermatic transformer was installed on a supporting post. The second fiber-optic box was converted and underground conduit was routed to the box containing the electrical supply.

Result: The three new nicheless fixtures were installed on the new transformer circuit, while the remaining fiber-optic bands and decorative spillway fixtures were electrically abandoned for possible cosmetic removal during a future tile renovation.

Describe which light is affected, the controls used and any model information you already have. Do not open electrical equipment or remove an underwater fixture to collect information. For your Clearwater property, provide the equipment model, a description of the requested work and any previous service records. Include the full address and the contact who can arrange access.
