Safe, compliant lighting for every Sydney pool and spa. We install and replace pool and spa lighting across Sydney. Low-voltage LED pool lights, colour-changing RGB systems, and above-water pool area lighting all installed to Australian standards by licensed electricians.
Verify our NSW Contractors Licence 493243C on the official NSW Trades register.
Pool lighting in NSW must comply with strict electrical safety requirements because of the proximity of water and people. In-pool lights must operate at extra-low voltage (ELV) or use an isolating transformer to limit shock risk. Above-pool area lighting and underwater fittings each have different compliance requirements under AS/NZS 3000.
We install new in-pool niche fittings, replace failed luminaires in existing niches, run conduit from the pool equipment area, install isolating transformers, and connect above-pool garden or entertainment area lighting. All work is completed to current wiring rules and NSW Fair Trading requirements. A CCEW is issued for notifiable work.
RGB colour-changing LED pool lights have become the standard for new Sydney pool builds. They are energy-efficient, last significantly longer than halogen equivalents, and can be controlled from a smartphone or wall controller. We supply quality LED fittings or install customer-supplied units from major brands.
Pool lighting is safety-critical work. We carry out installations and replacements across Sydney and know what compliant pool electrical looks like. If your pool light has failed or you are building new, call us for a straightforward quote.
In-pool luminaires in Australia must operate at extra-low voltage (below 50V AC) or be supplied through an isolating transformer. The combination of water, pool chemistry, and people creates an elevated shock and electrocution risk at mains voltage. AS/NZS 3000 and the NSW electrical safety regime set specific requirements for in-pool and spa electrical fittings, cable types, and circuit protection.
Original halogen pool lights typically draw 300 to 500 watts and generate significant heat. Modern LED equivalents use 15 to 35 watts for comparable or better light output, run cooler, and have a rated lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours versus 1,000 to 2,000 hours for halogen. The upfront cost of an LED fitting is higher, but running and replacement savings are substantial over the life of the pool.
In-ground pool lights sit in a wet niche, which is a sealed housing built into the pool wall during construction. The luminaire clips into the niche and can be removed for lamp replacement without draining the pool. The niche size and fitting diameter must be matched correctly. We measure your existing niche before supplying a replacement fitting to ensure it seals properly.
Lighting within the pool safety barrier zone (Zone 0, 1, or 2 in AS/NZS 3000) has specific requirements for IP rating (water ingress protection), cable type, and minimum voltage class. Garden, pathway, and entertainment area lighting around pools must also meet these zoning rules. We assess the zone layout of your pool area and specify compliant fittings for each location.

“Sam is an absolute legend. He fixed my hot water system this afternoon. He didn’t charge me a lot and he done a great job”
“Couldn’t be happier with Electrosurge Solutions. I had a full house rewire done and a bunch of upgrades like downlights, pendant lighting, new powerpoints, ethernet/data cabling, and exterior sensor lights. Sam is very tidy and everything looks and works perfectly. Really easy to deal with and you can tell they take pride in doing things properly. Definitely recommend if you want a quality electrician.”
“Sam is professional, courteous and honest. He is upfront with the costs and does everything per the book. He was a pleasure to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended. Wish every tradie was like Sam”

Yes. Pool lighting work involves the electrical supply to the pool niche, isolating transformer, and associated wiring. This is licensed electrical work in NSW under the Home Building Act 1989 and must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor. We hold Contractors Licence 493243C and issue a CCEW for all pool lighting work we complete.
A like-for-like LED replacement in an existing pool niche typically costs $500 to $900. New pool light installations with conduit runs and transformer work run $900 to $1,800 per light. RGB colour-changing systems sit in a similar range. We quote a fixed price after assessing your pool's niche size, conduit situation, and power supply.
Any sensation of tingling, numbness, or unusual current in pool water must be treated as an electrical emergency. Exit the water immediately, keep all people out, switch off the pool circuit at the switchboard, and call a licensed electrician. Voltage in pool water indicates a fault in the pool's electrical system that can cause serious injury or death.
No. Even replacing a luminaire in an existing niche involves the pool's low-voltage electrical circuit, which is licensed electrical work in NSW. Incorrect installation can cause shock hazards, water ingress into wiring, and pool safety compliance failures. We handle LED upgrades from halogen efficiently and safely.
Single-colour LED pool lights produce one fixed colour, typically cool white or warm white. RGB (red, green, blue) or RGBW colour-changing lights can cycle through a full colour spectrum and are controlled by a remote, wall switch, or smartphone app. RGB lights are popular in new Sydney pool builds and renovations for the ambience they create.
A pool light that repeatedly trips the RCD (safety switch) usually indicates a fault in the light fitting, niche seal, cable conduit, or isolating transformer. Water ingress is a common cause on older installations. Do not reset and continue using the circuit. We diagnose pool light RCD faults and repair or replace the faulty component.
