Hi all - We have an old Pentair incandescent light that hasn't worked since we bought the house last October. Earlier this spring some contractors rebuilt the deck and cut the cable so now it REALLY doesn't work! Looking at replacing with the Pentair IntelliBrite 5G or J&J Color Splash XG. The Pentair has really mixed reviews and a lousy warranty. J&J has a better warranty and is $200 cheaper...I'm leaning this way. Both will fit in the niche. We don't have other lights to coordinate with. Don't need a controller. Just want a color LED light that will hopefully not konk out in 6 months. Doesn't look like there is a recent thread on how these models perform so thought I would ask - thanks in advance!
 
I am a fan of the J and J bulbs. I've had the spa bulb for 3 years - and the pool bulb now for only a couple of months. I turn my pool lights on every night from just about dark to 10:30, so they get a lot of burn time. Pleased so far.
