Abstract
An underwater pool light that is flush-mounted, versatile, safe, economical, easy to maintain, temperature controlled and liquid cooled, and provides the ability to direct the light in a specified direction. The underwater pool light includes a mounting assembly for attachment to a wall of either a gunite or vinyl liner wall pool; a housing having front and rear faces and removably attached by its rear face to the mounting assembly for ease in repair of the light; a one-piece reflector attached to the housing and used to direct the light out from the housing; a light source placed in front of the one-piece reflector in the housing and mounted in a plane parallel to the pool wall on which the light is mounted; a temperature sensor placed in the housing next to the light source to detect overheating; a lens attached and sealed with a gasket to the front face of the housing and in front of the light source for directing the light and forming a sealed light source cavity; and means for cooling the light by allowing the liquid in the pool to circulate behind the light source cavity.
