wet niche fixture

[00DAN]

I ran into a snag on a job that was supposed to take a second. Upon changing out the wet niche fixture I realized that the tab on the housing was broken. I have no means to secure the fixture to the housing right now. Do I have to change the housing or do they make some sort of toggle or "old work" type clip for this situation.

I have no idea but I would call a pool company and ask

You will need a pool light wedge tool, the local pool store likely has them in stock.

Thanks DTlight. Not my question but I learned something that I didn't know before.

Yeah, thanks DTLight. My friend installed an LED pool light and is having trouble with it fitting in the existing tab. I will have to send him this info. Thanks again.
