Pool Lights

Question

Dear Rabbi Abadi, I love to take a dip in my back yard pool on Yom Tov. It's very refreshing. May I turn my pool lights and back yard lights on on Yom Tov, if I forgot to turn them on before Yom Tom?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

No. Only if you did not have enough time due to all the other preparations, or if it turned off by mistake, but was set before Yom Tov. AA
