Scope readings, priced apart by frame
| Replacement scope row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb-only row | $20-$650 by light type | retrofit bulbs at $150-$400 installed, standing hub line |
| Gasket-and-seal row, per light | $65-$150 | no row by that name printed |
| Full-fixture row | $450-$1,700 by light type | $700-$1,200 nicheless retrofit installed |
Each reading is one frame counting of one scope row, never blended across scopes or frames. The average row stands at about $625 per fixture across the scope rows.
Type bands behind the scope rows, printed once
| Frame A light type line, as printed | Per fixture | Bulb only |
|---|---|---|
| LED row | $700-$1,500 | $50-$650 |
| Incandescent row | $450-$650 | $20-$70 |
| Fiber-optic row | $1,300-$1,700 | $20-$60 |
The type bands are printed once here, shared by the scope rows -- the same light type is never carried across the scope line as a second line.
Frame B readings behind the scope rows, printed once
| Frame B line, as reported | 2026 reading |
|---|---|
| Nicheless LED retrofit row, installed | $700-$1,200 |
| Complete retrofit read row, per light | $1,000-$1,500 |
| Transformer replacement adder row | adding $300-$600 |
| Each additional fixture, same visit row | $500-$900 |
| Standing hub line, full niche replacement row | $800-$1,500+ |
The Frame B lines stand once, as on the hub, with the LED fixture counted three ways across the frames. The frames count the same job on different bases -- per-fixture replacement bands in Frame A (LED at $700-$1,500 per fixture, pool lights at about $625 per fixture on average) against installed retrofit build-ups in Frame B (a nicheless LED retrofit at $700-$1,200 installed, a complete retrofit read at $1,000-$1,500 per light), standing beside the standing equipment hub single line (retrofit bulbs at $150-$400 installed against full niche replacement at $800-$1,500+). The LED fixture is counted three ways across the frames -- named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Upgrade readings price apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the pool-equipment replacement hub (a whole-equipment ticket, its own field -- this cluster carries no whole-equipment guide of its own), the deck lighting, landscape lighting, and security floodlight clusters (dry-land lighting fields), the automatic pool cover pages, and whole-pool renovation tickets, each in its own lane.

Frequently asked questions
What does pool light replacement cost by scope, as reported?
Frame A prices bulb-only rows from $20 to $70 for incandescent to $50 to $650 for LED, and full fixtures from $450 to $650 to $1,300 to $1,700 by type. Pool lights average about $625 per fixture.
What does the bulb-only row print at, as reported?
Frame A prints the bulb alone at $20 to $60 for fiber optic, $20 to $70 for incandescent, and $50 to $650 for LED. The standing hub line prints retrofit bulbs at $150 to $400 installed.
What does the gasket-and-seal row print at, as reported?
Frame A prints gasket or conduit seal repair at $65 to $150 per light, on its own scope row. Frame B prints no row by that name, and that absence stands.
Why is each light type printed only once on this page?
The type lines belong to the replacement, not to a scope: LED at $700 to $1,500 per fixture stands once, shared by the scope rows, so no type is carried across the scope line twice.
Is a scope row the same purchase as a whole-equipment ticket on the standing hub?
No. The pool-equipment replacement hub is its own field, named apart here, and this cluster carries no whole-equipment guide of its own. Each scope row prices one light replacement alone.
