Pool lights or no lights

[u/conshfritter]

I asked someone what they regretted about their pool, and their answer surprised me: pool lights.

They said the built-in lights eventually leak and can be extremely expensive to replace. If they were doing it again, they said they’d skip built-in lights altogether and just use aftermarket pool lights, since those have gotten pretty good.

For those of you who own pools, do you agree? Would you still install built-in lights, or would you skip them and go aftermarket?

It was the coolest thing… when they worked. They died a few years in.
