    Which current model pool light can I use in a Hayward SP607 Niche?

    Hi, We are having our fiberglass pool resurfaced currently, and it makes sense to replace our pool light whilst we are at is, as it's clearly pretty old. The light is a SP540 300w and I know those aren't sold anymore as any new light has to be LED. I called Hayward support and they weren't...

    UPDATE - Cancelling Attempt to bring 12V light back in working order

    The family pool, installed in 1984, last had a bulb replacement done by a professional a couple years ago, which saw little usage before failing. Presumed it might simply be a bad bulb, but after personally removing it (shutting off the breaker; it's a low-voltage line), bringing it to the deck...

    EasyTouch controlled incandescent light - inconsistent operation. Help!

    Hello all, I'm having some issues with my pool light, and was hoping someone here might have seen something like this and could suggest a fix. I may have to call someone to come out, but... thought I'd try here first. I control my pool with an EasyTouch remote. I'm not really sure what version...

    I have a 22 year old pool. Need to change the light. Pool guy quoted $950 to switch to led. Decided to just change the bulb myself and punt that expense. I took it out. Had some water in the light. I bought the same bulb at pitch a penny. But I also need to replace the metal ring but would...

    Replacing pool light, LED vs incandescent.

    We bought a house with a pool two years ago. The pool light (Hayward Colorlogic 4.0 model Sp0525SLED50, 120V) did not work when we bought it. I have been skimming the forums and it seems that older discussions had a lot of problems with LED lights, especially Hayward. On Inyo it looks like...

    Rust Around Light Retainer Ring

    See photo. Salt water vinyl liner pool. Removed the pool cover yesterday and found all this rust. I have to admit that I did notice a small amount of rust last year but didn't address it at the time (yes, I know I should have). I replaced the liner two years ago. At the time, I replaced...

    Separate Spa & Pool Light on Jandy System

    Hi All, MY pool builder installed my Jandy Pool System last year. Part of that was 3 Jandy Watercolor Nichless lights. 1 in the spa and 2 in the pool. They are all controlled by the same aux port. I want the ability to set my SPA light and POOL lights to a different color. The pool builder...

    Pool light transformer buzzing

    I have a pool that’s about 18 months old and I have the pool light listed in my signature. The light has a 120v to 12v transformer and it makes a buzzing sound abs the light seems to work normally. The thing is I have never had the light on while standing next to the pool electrical panel until...

    Hayward SP0507 Light Gaskets

    Hello TFP! My pool is a vinyl, 16x32 which is 18 years old. I’ve dropped my pool water below the light (single light at deep end) with the intention of replacing the frame gasket and notice both in front of the liner and behind the liner gaskets. The exposed, in front of the liner gasket was...

    Serviceable led light options?

    This will be a forever pool and I would like to be able to replace bulbs rather than pull wire when lights fail. I'm leaning towards large niches with Amerlite 12v incandescent lights and swapping the bulbs out with Florida Sunseeker 12v 35w LED Pooltone bulbs-or similar bulbs-at a total cost...

    Removing pool light

    Hello everyone, I’ve got a crystal clear pool that always has dead algae at the bottom whenever shock is added. I have to add shock even though I have a SWG because, I assume, the algae keeps eating all of it. I am in the process of SLAMing. I have scrubbed every inch of the pool except behind...

    Shock from pool light screw

    Hey All, I can feel electrical current coming from the pool light screw when the pump is on. When the pump is off, the current stops. I don't feel it from the metal surrounding the light, just the screw itself. Burns pretty good if you keep you finger on it for a few seconds. Very...

    Thoughts on replacing a Hayward ColorLogic 4.0 LED light

    Hello people of the interwebs! I have a Hayward ColorLogic 4.0 LED light that was installed way back in 2012 when we built our pool. It is beginning to die - it turns on, but doesn't change colours, and often turns off (or goes very dim) after just a few minutes. No breakers trip or anything...

    Understanding pool light assembly - is there a leak?

    My pool light was not working so I decided to pull it out to do some tests. Noticed that the niche is getting the power so the issue is with the bulb. The gasket had some leaks and water had gone in. Meanwhile I decided to take some pictures to understand the system and noticed that there are...

    Pool Lighting questions

    Hello, I have 120V lighting for my pool and spa. I have a few questions regarding how to convert to 12V for safety reasons. I do not have a transformer. 1) The spa and pool lights are turned on and off from my controller separately, Does this mean I would need 2 transformers to continue to be...

    Hayward ColorLogic LED Light Not Turning On

    Hi all, I have a Hayward ColorLogic 12v LED light in my pool that has stopped turning on. It was blinking a few days ago and now it just won't turn on. I have two other lights (originating from the same circuit) and they are working fine. I checked the GFCI and the circuit, and neither are...

    Screw for light

    The light on the side of our inground, vinyl-liner pool came out of the wall recently. See photos below. The screw was still in the hole at the top of the light. However, when I try to reattach it, the screw doesn’t catch in the hole in the wall. I took the screw out of the light and tried...

    Replace working 20 year old light fixture during pool remodel?

    Hi, I am going to re-plaster/tile my pool and need to make some decisions about my existing lights and if I should consider replacing aging fixtures/lamps or keep as is until they actually fail. I have original (about 20 years old) pool and spa light fixture, I think from Jandy. Replaced...

    Stainless Steel Pool Light Ring Corrosion in a Salt-Water Pool

    About two years ago, I had my pool light replaced, and a new stainless steel light and ring installed. Since then I've noticed a steady corrosion of the steel (see photo). I had requested a marine grade (314) ring, but I think the Pentair that was actually installed is only 304. During this...

    Colored Pool Lights now only white

    I just had my pool resurfaced and since the changes, our pool lights only stay white. We upgraded the automation to iAqualink from previously just using a Jandy PDA. Now the pool contractor is telling me that we never had colored lights - that they are just incandescent. My family's collective...

    Please Identify Light Housing

    Can any of you identify this light housing? I need to replace the bulb and gasket. The bulb is a 12V. The only number I could find on the housing is 15916. Google did not show anything for this number. All the other stickers have faded.

    Not another light replacement post?!

    Alas, here I am. My Hayward Color logic 4.0 (SP0527LED50) died last season and we really missed fun night swimming and the ambient light. I just pulled it out this afternoon and found it's been hiding a TON of funky algae back there which might explain the seemingly random blooms I periodically...

    Crack in PVC Light Conduit

    A couple of years ago my PVC conduit running to the deep end light must have frozen and cracked creating a slow leak. I "fixed" it by putting a small layer of epoxy around the area where the wires came out of of the cove. This was fine until last year when I needed to replace the light fixture...

    Need advice about which LED pool light to install

    Hi all. We recently installed a pool and would like to upgrade our current white lights to an LED multi-colored light with lightshows. Our electrician strongly recommends Jandy WaterColors LED because we have a Jandy system on the iAquaLink app and he said the warranty is best at 3 years...
