Orange County, CA · Updated 2026 · Costs shown as ranges — your quote will vary by firm and scope

Reading this guide: every figure below is a range from published 2026 pricing data — not a quote. Two frames are named apart and never blended: Frame A (the Angi frame, per-fixture replacement) and Frame B (the installed-retrofit trade frame). The frames count the same replacement differently, and that difference is named on every page. Always get 3 written quotes.

This cluster prices the single pool light replacement alone, by light type. 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.

Frame B counts installed retrofit build-ups beside the standing equipment hub single line. 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, differentiated

The standing pool equipment replacement hub prices a whole-equipment ticket on its own page, and the equipment hub stands as its own field here. The dry-land lighting clusters price yard and deck fixtures, a different purchase.
