Pool light fixed and repaired on the bulb but it goes off again

[phillipjko]

Can I use regular Flood Light for say outside the garage. I remember once about 6 yrs ago a pool guy (friend) came and he replaced it using regular flood light and it worked for 3 years day in and out with no problem. Where can I find gasket for the pool light? The main switch (with all the pool pump, lights, outlets) is fine but the one controllling the pool light get in the middle but the other switches are all fine. Why is that so? The circuit I use was also all brand new. What is causing it to trip like this?

If there is water in the housing it will cause a short. That will cause the breaker to trip.

So long as the flood bulb fits, is the right voltage and wattage I don't see why a regular bulb wouldn't work.

You need to know which hayward light you have. There are many hayward lights, and a variety of lens gaskets. Looking up the light information will also likely tell you what wattage bulb your light is rated for.

Here's some hayward gaskets: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...rd+lens+gasket

Thanks so much. I am going to try again and see what is going on... I appreciate the time taken to look into this.
