    Spa sized lighting recommendations

    We have a pool and spa combo (kidney shaped roughly 35'x15') built in 1985 with the original lights still (somewhat?) functional. Both lights are ~6" spa lights. The one in the spa functions perfectly and I have never even had to change the bulb in the 2.5 years we've been living here. The...

    Help! LED strip lighting not working properly

    We had an LED strip light installed on the back wall of our pool, and it's had to be replaced twice now. Some sections of the strip will only show one color (e.g. red) while the rest of the strip is working properly. My question is this: Is this a quality issue? I have no idea what brand of LED...

    I just started working with our HOA committee to monitor and manage the community pool. Recently the lights stopped working. They are Pentair (trying to figure out which model). They are on 1 system that allows color changing and connect to 1 transformer. The GFCI is thrown and will not...

    Can’t find a juntion box for my two lights

    Both my lights went out so I assumed the bulbs had burned out and the breaker had flipped. When I took out the first light I noticed it was about half filled with water, the glass gasket was toast, and there was a tar like black substance and what looked to be caulk or something. Okay, time to...

    Do Pentair IntelliBrite Lights Fit in a Hayward Niche?

    Hi all, I have Hayward ColorLogic 12v lights in my pool (model number LPCUS11100) but would like to replace them with Pentair IntelliBrite lights, as I have Pentair EasyTouch and when I switched to Pentair the installer misadvised me when I asked him if I would lose any functionality as far as...

    Pool light identification

    Hi all, Moved into a house in 2020 with a nice pool at the front. The light installed has recently been flickering and I thought that I would change it, I have done this in the past with other pools and it is normally quite easy and painless. This time however I saw that it wasn't a normal...

    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.

    Trying to refurbish fiber optic lighting - what is this?

    Hello! I'm trying to clean up the fiber bundle on an old fiberstars system. The terminus looks like the picture below. Does that look wrong? It almost looks and feels like a glob of melted glass. I'd love any recommendations on how to proceed with cleaning this up.

    Lighting alternative - Jandy CPHVLEDS100 watercolors died

    Our pool runs on an Aqualink RS controller which is programmed for the Jandy CPHVLEDS100 Watercolors light. We don’t have to have the color, and $800 seems excessive for a light that dies as frequently as the reviews seem to indicate. What would you guys recommend as an alternative? I am...

    Kitchen, Pool, Pavilion after 5 years of planning

    After many years of planning, we went from an empty backyard to this. This coming summer will be our 3rd with this setup. Had a lot of fun planning this. The night lighting is one of my favorite parts, as well as the Sonos speakers near the ceiling. Creates a great atmosphere at night!
