My pool, built in 2006, has 4 Jandy color-changing 120V halogen lights: two big ones and two little ones (one in the spa). We didn't notice this until a few years ago, but the two large lights are in niches that were installed cockeyed when the pool was built, so the screw receivers are at something like 1:30 and 7:30 on the clock -- rotated clockwise instead of up-and-down.
Now, if someone brushes against or bumps the light (or even gives it a dirty look), the light pops out of the bottom partial tab. I have been able to get them back in but it won't be long before they're loose again. I tried bending the tabs and that helps for a while but then it pops out again.
I'd like to try to fix this rather than temporarily slipping them back into place, which is difficult. In looking through the forum, I found two solutions:
(I do plan on replacing these lights with LED lights at some point, but I expect they'll have the same problem. )
Any advice would be most welcome.

CMP, Pool Light Repair Wedge | 25549-600-000
CMP, Pool Light Adapter Ring | 25549-500-000
It seems like the ring would solve the problem by allowing me to properly orient the screw receivers. Would the wedge also solve the "popping out" problem ? Which would be preferred?(I do plan on replacing these lights with LED lights at some point, but I expect they'll have the same problem. )
