We have owned the home and pool for two years.
The technician said that there is no sign of water damage or any reason that this has been happening. His suggestion is to not use the lights the 4 hours a night that we do, but only when we are swimming. That doesn’t make sense to me so I am looking for others who have owned pools much longer than myself.
The research that I see says an LED pool light should last 25,000-50,000 hours. Thoughts please?

Our T&D pool is 7+ years old and after about 3 years our lights went bad (they are multi colored LED’s). They were replaced under warranty and we were told there was a problem with the lights from that manufacturer that had been fixed and we should be good with the new model replacements. We haven’t had a problem with the replacements, but your report scares me since the new lights are no longer under warranty. LED’s should outlast our lifetimes if working properly. Fingers crossed. On another note, we recently had to replace both the salt cell (chlorinator) and the variable speed pump, which set us back about $3,500 since the equipment warranty had expired. Just a heads up for planning purposes.
