The existing 500 W incandescent pool lights are energy inefficient and require frequent maintenance.  The fixtures are old, and despite gasket replacement, are prone to leak.  Repair of these fixtures is very expensive when outsourced (roughly $500) and time-consuming when handled in-house.

New fixtures from Pentair are proposed ([https://www.pentair.com/en-us/products/residential/pool-spa-equipment/pool-lighting/intellibrite_5g_whiteledpoollights.html Intellibrite 5G White LED]).  The cost per fixture is roughly $700, $750, or $800, depending upon the needed cable length (50, 100, or 150 ft, respectively).  Rough estimates suggest 5 x 50 ft, 4 x 100 ft and 1 x 150 ft lengths may be needed.  So, a total of $5,600 (rough estimate only).
