How big is the hole needed to fit this light into?

The hole is roughly 4". This kit includes the cutting tool that makes the hole. Feel free to call with any questions 315-342-8635

Rhonda, The hole is 3 3/4" in diameter. The light kit comes with the hole-cutting tool needed to cut the hole in your pool wall. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow when installing this light. The only other things you will need is an electric drill and a drill bit for drilling into metal. This is so you can drill a "pilot hole" to center the hole-cutting tool that comes with the kit. My wife and I we're able to install this light in about 15-20 minutes. We installed this under water light 5 years ago, and it still works like a champ today...haven't even had to replace the bulb! And that's with a ton of use! So even though this light gives plently of underwater lighting, we purchased another one recently (cause we wanted even more underwater lighting), and we will be installing it in a couple of weeks when the weather gets warmer. Hayward underwater lights are tops in their class and you won't be disappointed with this light. Again, this kit comes with everything you need for installation, except the drill and drill bit, and I'm sure you'll be happy with the results! Hope this helped. Phillip.

The diameter of this light is 13". If my calculations are correct, an 8.5x8.5 hole needs at least a 12" diameter so you're okay. a^2 + b^2 = c^28.5^2 + 8.5^2 = c^272.25 + 72.25 = c^2144.5 = c^2c= 12"

i would also like to know the correct answer to this, and the measurement would have to be on the inside of the hole, or the size of stem it fits on. As for it being a "standard size", all lamps may not use modern standards, it might depend on who made the lamp, where, and when. That's why people need to know measurements.

I would choose another light. The soldering on this light looks like a child did it. But as far as the size, it might work.

A standard 4" hole. Due to the construction I'm fire it would a 3.75". It's pretty tight. I cut out some of the rubber that holds it in place with a knife. You could trim it more to fit a smaller hole. I'm pretty sure it would fit snuggly in a larger hole.

The decorative piece will cover the hole but the bracket that attaches inside the pot light will not be big enough. This bracket holds the weight of the hanging light so it's important that it properly fits. If you were 4 or 6 inches you would be good. 8 inches is too big.

Yes but you will need to cut out hole using wood drill and tools for wood. I used a metal cutting tool specific to this type light hole. Took 5 min.

You need a .75 (3/4") hole. And I believe the wiring is black is +, wht is -.

It would have to be a pretty small one. A regular size spot light bulb will not fit in here. These are not that big.

Honestly, I don't remember. This lighting was installed for a customer and is beautiful. I would venture to guess 5 inches. In other words, standard size mount.

Light is hung high so I cannot get to it easily to measure. Length will be no problem but may be tight on the width. Should fit but I cannot say for sure. Wish I could help you more.

You don't provide much information. The hole diameter is the key here; the usual adapter which is placed below the electrical socket has a diameter of about 3/8". I needed an adapter with a larger hole (9/16 " inside diameter) as I was converting a floor lamp with reflector to one with a shade. I have no idea who made this lamp; likely some folks in China. Get a cloth tape measure; measure the distance around and divide by pi (3.14) to get an approximate diameter. I hope this helps.

You cut an oblong sized hole and the rubber housing slides into it and holds the light in place. Pretty easy to do.

Hello, yes, it will fit. The size difference is so small that you will only have a small gap between the two curved spaces. Just don't tighten it so much that it crushes the barrel of the light. :)

i already installed it in a pool light housing... i think it's about 6 inch diameter .

It has been a while since I installed it but I remember wondering the same thing before I bought it and whether it would fit in the light fixture housing of inground pool, which it did. I think it might have been approx. 6" in diameter but I am not sure.

A 5.125" diameter hole is what it will go through without bulbs in it, if you are putting it straight through. If you angle it, to just get it through to the other side, it will go through a much smaller circle of under 4.5". BTW, it is of very nice quality for plastic. Cheers
