Abstract

An underwater light (12) for above ground pools (10) includes a housing (28) sealed to the outer surface of the pool wall (24). An opening in the pool wall and liner (16) communicates with an opening in the front wall (28) of the housing, and a light transmitting cover assembly (70) is sealed to the pool liner (16) to cover this opening. The rear wall (34) of the housing is removable to provide access to a light unit mounting assembly including a base bracket (38) secured around a light (58) and biases the cushioning gasket into engagement with a pad mount (56). This facilitates removal and replacement as well as adjustment of the light (58) without interrupting pool operation.
