My inground pool does not have a night light. Can I use this type of above-ground pool light and install it above the pool wall with a L shape support? Also, can this type of light be dangerous (as water does not mix with electricity).

unfortunately, I dont think this light will work for your ingorund pool, the installation of the L shape hooks onto the sides of an above ground pool and the electrical cord hangs on the outside of the pool and plugs into an outlet. (mine is installed on the same side as my pump and filter) Even if you could mount this to the side of your inground pool, the electrical cord would be a tripping hazzard.

I have not found that it will light up my pool, which is smaller in size but deeper than yours. It really works more like a disco ball, it makes cool light and color patterns, but does not provide a source of light.

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.

I can turn the top light on like a flashlight, or the front light on, but only while the whole thing is unplugged. Once it is in the outlet, it will only come on during a power outage. So, it is not useable as a night light while it is plugged in. Hope that makes sense.

I would say yes this was the wrong light for my pool, a pool light here in Florida is 12V not 120V SO BE CAREFUL WHAT VOLTAGE YOU NEED.

"Light may not activate in ordinary tap water." That is, your tap water may be very "soft", i.e. close to distilled water, which is non-conductive. Lake water should be sufficiently conductive to activate the light. I am going to use this light with HIT offshore vests on lake water.Suggest lithium batteries.

unless the outdoor outlet is cover you should run a wire from inside. Getting the plug wet while it's plugged in could short out the outlet and potentially damage the lights. Hope this was helpful!

I have no clue about above ground pools but I would think it should work fine. It is of good quality and heavy enough to stay put. A little tricky to pull off so you would have to figure out a way to do that. We like the pool cover and use it in FL over the winter months. Don't use in the summer.

Hi you can use 1/2 inch carflex or 1/2 inch cable clamps and run conduit from your "time clock" or "circulation pump switch's load connection" to the unit, and use 12 guage wires for power. (excess pool light cable works a treat) and remember it is factory wired for 220 volts. connect the wires with wire nuts on unit end pull on wires to make sure they are tight, wrap in electrical tape and connect solid copper ground from units chassis to your pool ground.

YOu should have a hole in your pool wall where the old one came out. The new one goes in the same hole. Mine is a cement hole. there is a metal ring at the side of it where the light has one screw that holds it in. There is a trick to get the new wires plumbed back to the voltage source and whatever you do, do not pull the wires from the old light out without knowing the trick. If you do you are done.

I believe they use the same panels for inground or above ground pools an above ground pool you just need a surface to mount the panel to if your pool is close enough to the house the roof would be fine.

We just let ours lye on top of the water and it works just fine... We never tuck it in anywhere, ours if a 17 round and we just fold any excess under or over around the edges and let if kinda float... I have pulled it over the area where the retun water goes back in especially if the water is low so that the current does not put it across the pool, but that is only an issue if the water gets low... Hope that answers your question....

The new pool light comes with wire that goes back to your above ground Junction box. The wire from the junction box to the controller does not need to be replaced.Hope that answers your question.

Yes. The light comes in two pieces. One piece ( with the light) goes inside the intex pool. A second piece, to which an electrical cord is attached, goes outside the pool. There are magnets that hold the two sides of the light together. I don't know how the electricity on the outside of the pool works to light up the inside of the pool, but it does. You need to use this light with a pool with a liner comparable to an intex pool. If you have a real thick liner, I have been told the light won't work.

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.

the company sells the transformer separately. You can also buy it from Ledwholesalers for 15.75 with prime shipping here on amazon. Then the light and transformer have to be wired together. I get my electrician to do it , but if you know how to connect two wires together you can do it yourself. I love these lights. But I do not submerse them under water, so I have had no problems. I can't say if they work good under water.

If you can do the plum/elec you can program this thing...I did the plumb/elec thing myself and installed this baby! I did not know anything about pools until i bought my house.very simple instructions....compared to understanding electricity but,if you don't know anything about electricity get an electrician
