Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Underwater Lighting

Turn Off Power

Safety first! Always disconnect the power supply to your underwater lights. This could be from a dedicated switch or circuit breaker.

Remove Fixtures

Carefully unscrew the underwater light fixtures from their mounts. If they’re adhered with sealant, gently pry them free using a flathead screwdriver.

Disconnect Wiring

Using wire cutters, carefully disconnect the wiring from the main power source. Make sure to note how the lights were connected for easy installation of new lights later.

Inspect the Area

Before proceeding, inspect the area where the lights were installed. Check for any signs of damage or mold that may need addressing.

Seal Any Openings

If the removal of the lights leaves any openings in your pond structure, use pond-safe sealant to cover them. This helps maintain the integrity of your pond’s ecosystem.
