NickKilla Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hey guys, Has anyone successfully installed lights into a spa that doesn’t have them and if so, how difficult/easy was the process? Any ideas/tips greatly appreciated. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 You can put anything you want in a spa shell, you just need to cut a hole and seal the fitting, which can be easy or impossible, depending on the spot you picked. It should be flat and accessible on both sides of the shell. A tile cutting bit in a dremel tool will cut the shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm curious, what brand doesn't install lights in their spa? I can't imagine soaking in my hottub at night without underwater illumination (seriously, I'd freak out knowing all the snakes and frogs I have running around my yard at night.....)

I would not install any hardwired lighting under the water line due to the high risk of electrical shock if/when something failed (like a seal). This would not be covered under any insurance policy and you would be liable for any injuries or death resulting from modifying the spa (imagine a child playing in the water and something happening - you would be 100% liable) They sell battery powered pool lights all over the internet including amazon. Even Ryobi sells a kickass 18v floating pool light with bluetooth speakers, although it's a bit too big for hottubs) Something like this is only $18 for a two pack, and have suction cups so you can submerge them under water. They won't be high quality and last forever (I'd remove when not using the tub), but they would be a million times safer to use without the risk of electrical shock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
