I'm wanting a light for my pool and as already stated in another thread here I may need some new gaskets in my return anyway. I'm not even sure I want a return light combo but some of the hang on ones I've seen on Amazon have gotten horrible reviews. I don't have to do Amazon but I've got " Prime" so I look there a lot first. One of the return light combos I saw was a Pentair and it looked good but something was said by a reviewer about it not being for use in a saltwater pool. I also couldn't see exactly what kind of return piping it accepted. I just hard piped everything to get away from hoses and used a 1and 1/2 inch MPT fitting to go into my present return. I mean what all are my options? Is the saltwater thing really an issue? Are the "hang over side" light all junk? Help needed from the experts please!
What light for a saltwater AGP?

I've had one of these for 4 years now. It still works great!

Those are nice for Intex but they won't work on a traditional metal wall pool like mine. I bought one a year or two back before I knew better and then realized it and took it back. Just now getting around to thinking about a light again.
Sorry, I'm on my phone and don't see what kind of pool you have, if it's listed on your signature.
I would like a light for mine but I don't need one because we share a pole with the neighbor that lights up the pool area pretty nicely. It'd be nice though. I'll be watching this thread.
I'm looking at this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NRR61C...UTF8&colid=29SOE7ZJ8KFKD&coliid=IPA1WO000NZNW The main reason being that the specs are clearly stated and I know it will fit my return plumbing that I just worked so hard to get done! There are no reviews but those things can be very subjective anyway.

I had the Nightlighter with a saltwater pool and I have one in my current pool. The kids like that it changes colors. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RTN362?vs=1
I looked at the nightlighters or similar. What got me going on the return lights was that I need to replace my gaskets anyway. My wife doesn't think the color change is a big deal and at my kids age, I don't know whether it would impress them or not....LOL. Dang, I hate it when I can't make a decision.
I got the Aurora one that goes in and replaces the return. I need to replace the return gaskets anyway. Hope I made a right choice. I just decides I wanted a conventional light without colors and my wife agreed. I tried colored lights around an outdoor fish pond once and never liked the effect.
