Abstract
Improved mounting features on a sealing ring component or niche housing for an underwater pool light. The prior art sealing rings and/or housings only offer one hole and one notch to install a light fixture. If the hole and/or notch fail, the entire sealing ring or housing must be repaired or replaced. The improved mounting features of a sealing ring component or housing include additional mounting features providing alternative locations to attach the light fixture. The light fixture may be disconnected and rotated within the housing to engage with different mounting features to re-attach the light fixture.
