Will this fit an AquaLight built after 1998?
No. AquaLights built after January 1998 take a mini screw-in (E11) bulb; the 250 W version is the APC120250S. This bayonet bulb fits the earlier twist-lock socket.
How do I change the bulb safely?
Turn off power to the light at the breaker and let the fixture cool before you open it. Handle the new quartz bulb by its base or with a clean cloth, because skin oil on the glass shortens bulb life. Replace the lens gasket if it is flattened or cracked, and do not run the light out of the water except for a brief test.
