    DIY LED Lighting

    Anyone tried to build their own led pool lights? I don’t want to underplay the idea, but led component stuff is relatively inexpensive these days. Between 3D printing and resin casting it seems like there would be a way to make some RGB led lights that could be controlled via WLED. I did my...

    PoolTone Problems!!!!!!!!

    So, like many others on this site, I was tired of the short life of my pentair LED lights and made the switchover to PoolTone. I got the NICHELESS 1 1/2 INCH (SMALL FACE) POOL OR SPA LIGHT and installed them about 18 months ago. The spa light stopped working about 2 months ago and then two of...

    Underwater LED lights

    I have a 24' round Radiant semi unground pool. I am looking for the best application of LED lights. Perhaps the strip-type, waterproof/underwater/solar? I have a final liner so those puck lights don't stick [for very long] because it pulls the final away from the wall. And I don't want to...

    Jandy RGBW Nicheless Replacement

    My experience with the Jandy RGBW Nicheless LED lights has been horrible. We have 4 of these lights in our pool. Our pool is only 3 years old, and every one of these lights has failed and needed replacement. We had 2 replaced under warranty, but one of those has also failed (and the warranty...

    Serviceable led light options?

    This will be a forever pool and I would like to be able to replace bulbs rather than pull wire when lights fail. I'm leaning towards large niches with Amerlite 12v incandescent lights and swapping the bulbs out with Florida Sunseeker 12v 35w LED Pooltone bulbs-or similar bulbs-at a total cost...

    Thoughts on Pentair Laminars and Lights

    See signature for full build details. We demo'ed our old 16x32 vinyl pool but haven't started construction as of June 29, 2022. We really wanted to do 4x Hayward Laminars+ColorLogic 320's for our pool and stick with Hayward. However, supposedly Hayward laminars have been out of stock for months...

    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    Like so many others, I have encountered failure on two out of my three Pentair GloBrite in ground pool lights. Interestingly, the two failed within days of each other, while the third is still operating, for now. I'm looking into Florida Sunseeker replacement options, as OEM Pentair lights are...

    Time to replace the light

    So my pool is an in ground 18,000 gallon salt pool. My light finally has died. The light is a Pentair Water IntelliBrite 5g Color Changing LED. S/N 619827 I called the local pool store and asked about having it fixed and they said you don't fix them you replace them. They said the light itself...

    Jandy watercolor 12V light problem

    I have a Jandy watercolors 12v light that has recently failed. It's just out of warranty and Jandy was *less than helpful*. It PCB in it looks like this: http://mypcbcircuitboard.com/2020/06/25/jandy-r0739500-12v-light-engine-printed-circuit-board-for-jandy-pool-lighting/ I've taken it to a...

    Very loud banging noises when lights turn on

    Hey all! I have been searching for a fix for this for a while and even tried to get a hold of pentair but haven’t received any responses. We have a fairly new pool with LED color changing light. Before I installed the intellibrite switch we had to turn the timer lever on and off to change colors...

    Lighting alternative - Jandy CPHVLEDS100 watercolors died

    Our pool runs on an Aqualink RS controller which is programmed for the Jandy CPHVLEDS100 Watercolors light. We don’t have to have the color, and $800 seems excessive for a light that dies as frequently as the reviews seem to indicate. What would you guys recommend as an alternative? I am...

    LED pool lights have strange characteristics

    So I'm in the property management industry and provide pool maintenance for a condo association that's twenty years old and poorly maintained in the earlier years. This thread is for the pool lights that have a mind of their own. Since I've started at this property several months ago I've...
