The swimming pool market is evolving. While new construction was the standard for many years, there is now a clear shift toward renovation. Pool renovation has become the fastest-growing segment in the industry, driven by sustainability, energy efficiency, and changing aesthetic expectations. Many existing pools remain structurally sound, but their lighting systems belong to a previous era.
For installers, thiscreates a new reality: customers want to modernize their pools without major construction work. Demolition, new wall penetrations, or structural modifications are often not an option. Lighting solutions need to be upgraded faster, easier, and more intelligently.
Retrofit as the logicalnextstep
In this context, DURAVISION Retrofit solutions are rapidly gaining importance. They were developed around one clear idea: existing swimming pools should be upgraded with modern LED technology without replacing the original niche or wall structure. This makes renovation projects manageable, predictable, and efficient, exactly what installers need today.

Within the retrofit range, RETROFIT-TWIST positions itself as the mostcomplete solution. This innovative concept makesit possible to integrate new DURAVISION LED lights intoexisting niches of various types and brands, completelywithoutdemolition or structural work. Thanks to its smart twist-lock mechanism, the light is securely fixed in place, even in older niches where tolerances often vary.
What truly sets RETROFIT-TWIST apart is its modular design with included extension pieces. This allowsevery installation to beconfigured to fit the specific application. The resultis one flexible system that can beused in most niches from 85 mm onwards, including the widelyused PAR56 niche, up to the maximum diameterthat can beperfectlyfinishedwith DURAVISION FacePlates.
