    Jandy LED watercolor lights - barely lasted 5 seasons.

    Like a couple others posters here (Jandy Watercolors LED lights and Jandy Watercolors LED lights - gone dim) I have had problems with my Jandy LED watercolor lights (120v). One light has dimmed to the point where you barely can tell that it is turned on and the other one does not display...
