    This is really useful; thank you. I'm concerned about the color temperatures not matching; I was sort of hoping staying in the product family would help potentially mitigate that. I have one of the Pentair Intellibrites here, and I'll get my hands on one of the Jandys you suggested to see how...

    So, time to choose the lights. It seems like all we can choose from is LED and everyone has failure problems. Is this just where we are now? Looking at the Pentair Intellibrite Architectural Series, with some Microbrites to hide in the sheer descent's catchbasins. I don't really see a better...

    Thanks, everyone, for your replies. Normally I wouldn't touch a situation like this with a 10-foot pole, but some unique personal-relationship dynamics here mean I'm absolutely shielded from liability, and the homeowners are profoundly grateful, daily, for me to be their advocate/interpreter...

    We're just starting construction and the wood frame is the formers for the shotcrete. Although I'm absolutely sure this is not an installation as Hayward intended it I wanted to know if anybody's seen this.

    Seeking the Pool Light of Pool Lights. The Mack Daddy. The One to Rule them All.

    Just a quick update. The client doesn't want anything elaborate; no light shows, no fountains. They don't even want colors; just white. "It's just a pool." There are two small cascading water features, and then a standard 20x40 pool with attached spa. They have the money for just about...
