Well, read the Amazon description a bit more carefully: So it seems I must return these. Any suggestions for led bulbs that will work with this 120v pentair housing?

I have a Pentair housing in my pool and spa. I wanted to replace my incandescent bulb with an LED. However, the bulb won’t turn on. When I put the incandescent back in, works fine. When I test the led bulb in a standard fixture, works fine. I’m not sure what this spring is that touches the bulb...

Will do. How hard do you tighten these unions? Is Magic Lube the right stuff to use?

I have a leak that’s about 1 drop per second right where the pipe from the pump connect to my filter. I’ve not worked with plumbing before, is this a DIY repair or should I call someone? If call, do you recommend calling pool repair or a plumber?

Any reason I couldn't use these? Lutron PD-6WCL-LA Caseta Wireless 600W Incandescent, 150W CFL or LED Single Pole / Multi Location Dimmer in Light Almond Not sure if I need something rated for outdoor or since they are in the box I'm ok?

Yes, we did use the dimming function, though it's not a deal breaker, but it's nice to turn down the hot tub light a bit. Right now it's just 400watt incandescents, but I know there are better LED options out there (color?) that I may be willing to upgrade to as well.

I don't use the X10 at all, just came with the pool/house when I bought it. I've got an Alexa and have just bought some lutron dimmers for inside. I should also have good wifi signal at this spot, so any suggestions that would work with the Lutron hub or wifi?

Thanks guys. I bypassed the switch and the light comes on. Any suggestions for a replacement switch? I’d love to be able to control it either via WiFi or Lutron.

Our spa light won't turn on. I pulled the housing and replaced the bulb (old bulb sounded bad when I shook it). Even with the replacement bulb, i can't get it to turn on. The switches are X10 WS467. I've tried every combination of pressing and holding to make sure it isn't just dimmed, but...

I wonder, since this unit isn't as big and tall, it may just fit inline even with the other pipes above it. What do you think?

Looks great! How tough is wiring all this? does it connect to my existing pump timer?
