Abstract:
A universal swimming pool light adapter ring consisting of a two-element interlocking adapter ring for retrofitting a swimming pool light into a swimming pool niche. The adapter ring has a two element face ring that interlocks and fastens around a swimming pool light cord, so that an existing swimming pool light does not need to be substantially removed or disassembled to facilitate installation. Further the adapter ring consists of an adjacent two-element mounting ring that utilizes a plurality of mounting screws to each respective element, which creates pressure points that secure the adapter firmly into the light niche to allow a fit into most standard light niches, including but not limited to, a sealed beam light niche. Two thread points on each opposing side on the adapter's face ring, as well as a mounting tab, allow multiple brands and sizes of swimming pool lights to be mechanically fastened, securely to the adapter.

Claim (Index 1):
A universal swimming pool light is a transitional adapter ring for mounting a pool or spa light to a swimming pool light niche comprised of: a two-element interlocking face ring that forms one circular face ring by interlocking a male tab and a female locking slot on opposing ends of the said face ring element; two female thread points for the purpose of mounting a light fixture located at the center arc of the two aforementioned face ring elements; a tab located in the center arc of only one of the aforementioned face ring elements; a two-element mounting ring attached perpendicularly to the aforementioned two-element trim ring comprised of a plurality of threaded mounting holes in each mounting ring element, respectively; at least one threaded mounting screw positioned that the mounting screw translates through the mounting hole radially outward from the center of the interlocked elements as to contact the walls of a light niche, thus securing the swimming pool light adapter ring in place; an electrically conductive grounding element molded into the center arc of one of the a fore mentioned face ring elements.
