Any feedback on the Florida Sunseeker lights?

So it seems like the five year mark is where everything in a pool starts to fail.. needless to say one of my pentair globrites isn’t working. I’ve been reading all night and it seems like their reliability is poor, honestly I’ve only used the lights maybe five times in five years. That said, I see the Florida sun seeker lights will plug and play in the globrite fixture.

anyone have any long term results?

UL Listing required?

When replacing a light fixture that is in a wet niche, is the new fixture required to be UL Listed? I'm considering a fixture from sunseeker, but it is not UL. I would really like to go with the SS fixture, but don't want to do something wrong.

Thanks. I’m an engineer and all too familiar with the requirements of these labs and the markings applied to the devices. If this company paid the thousands of dollars to get certified they would for sure have the marking on the device, which to me means they probably just paid some company down the street to do the test with unvalidated methods.

thanks!
