Sorry, I misunderstood. It's currently a Pentair 120V light with a 300watt incandescent bulb. I do not have a 12V transformer, but do not mind spending the extra money to purchase the transformer and possibly more expensive pool light. I have read the debates whether 12V pool lights are actually...

I damaged the existing incandescent pool light cord and red brass conduit so I'm taking the opportunity to replace the pool light

I'm in the process of changing my pool light and was hoping for some input regarding 12V vs 120V pool lights. More specifically, I am curious regarding the brightness of the 12V vs 120V Pentair Intellibright 5G color LED pool light. Any suggestions of better/brighter color pool LED lights would...

Many thanks JasonLion and gtemkin! I'm looking forward to this project!

Thank you! Just to clarify. I plan to purchase a new 120V LED pool light with a cable long enough to reach the deck box without a splice. I will connect a new piece of red brass to the existing red brass (that does not have any bonding wire) and will thread the conduit into to the deck box...

Hi all, I punctured the metal (I think red brass) conduit carrying my pool light wire so I thought now would be a good time to rewire and replace the pool light and GFCI/switch controlling it. I have a few questions about the pool light and would really appreciate your help: 1) Can I just add...
