Can this light be installed in an above ground pool? halogen light? does it need to be wired into a ground fault outlet or some other set up for safety? How many inches tall is this light? thanks, Jim

I do not know about the above ground, the light needs the water from an in ground pool to keep it cool. It does need a ground connection. The light is about 12 inches diameter with the chrome collar.

James, this light can't be installed in an above ground pool due to having to be constantly submerged to control heat. It also has to be installed in the correct receiving canister which surrounds the light itself. Yes is has to be installed on a ground fault circuit. The light is about 9 inches lense to back. This is a sealed unit and must be secured underwater...otherwise it will float to surface. It is not halogen in the sense that we think of halogen today as in HIDs for automobiles but the 300 watts does great on my 16 x 32 pool. Hope this helps.

I am sorry but I do not know. I installed it in my in ground pool and it works fine. I am at my vacation home to measure sorry. My wife will be there in two weeks if you still need the info.

I don't believe this is for an above ground pool. There are many safety things to be considered. The light goes into a housing that has to be flooded with water. As I remember it is around 11 inches. I would recommend that you go to the manufacture site and get the manual. I really wouldn't recommend for above ground.

No it cannot be used for above ground pool. It has a base at the bottom that needs to be secured with anchour bolts.

My pool is only a 15' round. I would say it may light up about an 18'. I think you would need two, but they are very small and would not take up too much room in your pool.

Yes, it's a complete sealed light with a 50' wire attached. It shouldn't be too hard to install although nothing is ever totally easy it seems. Be sure it is on a GFCI circuit. Be sure to use some soft putty to seal the conduit opening where the wire enters the junction box that powers the light. Otherwise chlorine vapors from the pool will corrode any switches, screws or connections in that junction box over time.

I believe this product is intended for above ground pools only. The electric cord is about 20 - 25 feet long, so it may not be long enough for a deep pool.

The unit should have come with a spike that goes on the bottom of the light and you push it into the ground. These are not solar lights; you need to purchase wiring and a transformer. You can bury the wire.

Ted,The lights are approximately 12" tall, measured from the small flange on the stem to the top of the light. In other words, the portion or the light that is above ground is approximately 12" tall. I have about 10 of these and love them! Please feel free to ask if you have any other questions. Gary

I mounted mine directly to existing mount for light below eves of home to illuminate backyard. No real mounting height recomendations came with. I'd sy no higher than 20'feet. If go that high you will be amazed of how large an area you will illuminate.

Don't believe so, it would have to be elevated above the lip of the above ground pool, and then the pool would have to be at least 4' deep. The restrictions on this slide pretty much recommend ONLY on pool decks. I have mine mounted on a floating raft that I can move to deep water.

hello, thanks for the question and interest. this lamp needs to be wired into ceiling. Comes with 60 inch wire attached to fixture, other end needs to be wired into box or wire a switch and plug. steve

Hi, This lamp must to be hardwired. Doesn't have a chain linkto be mounted to the ceiling. A professional electrician can add more chain if you would like.

You have to place the ozone 5 feet away from your pool. I'm putting mine on a 4x4 mounting it 1 foot above water level. Also I'm making a box for it so it want be in the direct sunlight. Haven't had the chance yet to put it up. Good Luck.

On mine, I ran the cord under the top rail and the lights mount inside the pool. I have a metal wall pool so the only thing that mounts inside is the light itself. If you have a soft wall pool, it includes a magnet that you stick to the same location on the outside to hold it in place.

Yes, as long as your pool has metal walls. I have a 24' above ground pool and had no problem attaching the light under a top rail. Very easy install, took only about 10mins. to do.

Yes, if the pool liner is not too thick. Really don't know with precision how thick the Intex pool liner walls are but to compare it to everyday household item, I would say that they must be a little more than the thickness of an orange juice carton. Maybe twice the thickness at some places (where the joints are) and the light can hold good there. Don't think it will work with metal wall above ground pools because the electricity is not directly connected to the light. The light is powered via magnetism or some other sort of indirect way where the outside (electrified) part and the light enclosure pull together on each side of the pool liner with magnets. The amount of light is adequate for a 24 * 12 pool.

NO! Its a very low, diffuse light mads for" "mood" lighting a small area. Not an entire pool. Its 10W max.

You should connect the light to a low voltage transformer rated for use with underwater lights; meaning there's a ground shield. On mine the blue and brown wires connect to the 12v source, the yellow connects to the ground shield. Use wire nuts, or some other connector to splice the wires from the light to the landscape cable. Silicon or vaseline are good ways to seal the connection from water and electrical tape helps hold the wire nuts in place.
