I see from an old post that you helped someone with a similar problem. I have an old pool with two lights – we bought the house 14 years ago and the pool was old and irregularly matained before then.
About 5 years ago I replaced a bulb in one light but did not replace the gasket. This year I discovered both lights were out and in the process of replacing them I discovered that one gasket had started to melt into the light fixture. I can get the bulbs locally (12v 300w) but I need two new gaskets. The light fixtures have specs similar to those of another customer from 2016 – it has PoolStar on the outer rim and then on the lighting fixture:
Hydrotech Chemical Corp. Industry, CA
Model PLH-300
Underwater lighting fixture for swimming pool, wet-niche type
No. L-462553
Lamp R40, 12 V, 300W
Do you have replacement gaskets for this fixture?
Also, do I need to worry about the melted gasket that has since congealed/hardened at the bottom inside of the light fixture? When I removed the bulb, it had some of this melted crud on the threads but otherwise the inside of the fixture (where the blub screws in) seems to be more or less intact.
I would also love to find new outer rims that face into the pool - the two I have are old and ugly.
Thanks for your help.
