A 20 A GFCI breaker was installed for safety, as one of the posts is on the pool deck itself. Furthermore, the depth of the conduit and state of the underground wiring are not known - so this is definitely the safe/proper approach. So far (as of August 2021), the circuit seems to be holding up without tripping the GFCI (suggesting very minimal, if any, current leakage). | A 20 A GFCI breaker was installed for safety, as one of the posts is on the pool deck itself.

No off-the-shelf retrofit kit existed for the lamp posts. So, parts were purchased separately: | No off-the-shelf retrofit kit existed for the lamp posts. So, parts were purchased separately. | ||

Notes: | |||
* The fitter itself is of so-so quality (but other options are lacking). The following modifications were/are necessary: | |||
** Drill out all permimeter drain holes (a step bit works well) to clear out slop from casting | |||
** Drill out inner wire hole and install a rubber grommit to protect against sharp edges that might pierce wiring | |||
** Additional purchased #10-24 (SS) screws may be required for securing the globe to the fitter and the fitter to the lamp post. | |||
** Paint with black spray paint. | |||
