lights

We are building our first pool and my wife is fairly sensitive to lights, so is trying to avoid a situation where they feel like they’re shining in her face. Most of our patio and decking will be on the bottom of this sketch. We also have a deck in that area that is a foot or two elevated. As...

Hello all! Our new pool came with three Hayward LED lights. They are connected to a switch that we manually flip to change the colors. I’d love to be able to do that from my phone. Is there a certain “smart switch” you recommend that would allow me to turn the lights on and off and change the...

I just purchased a house with a very old in-ground spa. We are working to get it up and running and unsurprisingly the light doesn't work. The existing light looks to be a 6" incandescent "Americans Products Company" light. I'm not sure of the voltage running to this light. My first question: I...

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...

I have a new pool with Jandy Aqualink PDA (can control the pool features with the phone). Putting aside that the Web interface for Jandy is from 1970, I'm having a problem with the "Dusk Set Up" feature. In sum, I have the pool lights turn on at Dusk. But, what happens is that the separate...

Hello everyone, I had my pool built and for the system, my friend and I decided to install it all. He cleans pools and understands most of the systems, Im an electrician and between the both us my Intellicenter panel is working great. The only issue is that I don't understand is where do I hook...

I have 3 Pentair Globrite lights in our pool. I will be replacing these lights for the 2nd time in 8 years and I am curious if anyone knows of a different manufacturer that has a light that will fit the Globrite niche? When we installed them originally they were $350 for all three lights, now...

Hello all! Have an issue where my pool lights do not engage. Tried app and on the panel. Looked at every wire and breaker... no obvious issues. Thoughts on troubleshooting? Thanks in advance!

Hi, my pool AND spa lights randomly stopped working. They're wired to separate HLRelays. The button under the relay activates them. In config screen, the “pool lights” relay box is empty. When I click on it, it doesn’t detect any relays. What could be the problem. No software updates, nothing...

I noticed this week that the LED light on my Pentair ColorVision Bubbler is not working. In the manual, there are instructions for replacing the light assembly (GloBrite light assembly?), however, the replacement part list doesn't call out a part number for this part. The pool is just over two...

Hi, I need to replace the bulbs in my UL e41110 with the label 98700600. I can not find anywhere if this is a 120 or if there is a 12v transformer built in. Leslie's can't find the light and I am not coming up with anything... Any help or direction I would really appreciate!

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...

I posted about a month ago about replacing my pool lights, I finally got around to doing the replacements, and what I found with my old ones was quite disturbing. I'm glad these were the 12v version and not the 110v version. My suspicion is the glue/sealent used on this part degraded over time...

A bit frustrated that some of my interior hot tub lights stopped working. Under warranty, the hot tub store came out and replaced all of them due to a known installation flaw. However, I lost much water as they are replaced from outside the shell. And the tub continues to leak water. The store...

Having our grotto designed this week. I was looking for some small twinkling RGB lighting which could go in the walls and ceiling of the grotto. PC mentioned fiber optics, I guess the bulb is changeable and it’s located down the cable. I’ve seen the SR Smith micro lights with premiere...

I have a quick question. I am putting a new steel wall vinyl liner inground pool in my backyard and I am trying to map out the pipes and conduits and have a question about pool junction boxes..... I understand that I need to have one because the pool has 1 light, but my question is about the...

Junction Box Confusion. I bought a new house with a pool and I am tackling one project at a time and learning more every day. Yes forum has been great. My latest question: There is a light in my spa and another one in my pool. Neither of them work. I have assumed that the problem is the...

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...

Hello, found a few threads but all older. Both my Hayward colorlogic lights (pool and spa) are dead after 9 years. I’m finding replacements around $800 each and the repairman wants $1000 for parts and labor (actually not bad for the labor it seems) BUT I don’t have $2000 to drop right now! I’m...

Been a pool owner since 2019. The pool is fairly old, and I think the previous homeowners knew everything was about to die (not just the pool) and decided to sell. At opening 2020, IC40 worked fine at first, but then died (no lights). After some research, I determined it was probably beyond...

I am trying to replace a Pentair microbrite light but part of the light and niche has some gunite/pebble tec on it which is keeping me from turning the light. Any ideas on how to remove the the gunite so I can remove the light? making matters worse is it is on the sun deck so kind of a difficult...

Hello, I am working on converting my Fiber Stars 6004 fiber optic lighting system with an LED nichless replacement. I have a large pool 20,000 gallons and only one light in the pool and one in the spa. Can you recommend a good reliable nichless light that is bright and reliable? I would like...

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...

Hello - I am in the final stages of hiring a pool builder, I want to get some opinions on lighting. Everything is Pentair. Seems like the consensus on the forum is Microbrite is the latest and greatest product. Pool layout below. 5x14 baja shelf on right. Spa in upper left. Spa is not raised...

Hello, I have 240v pump, heater. 120v pool lights. All are in a subpanel. Do they all need to be gfci protected? if only the lights need gfci can I just replace the light switch with a combo gfci/switch instead of replacing the breaker?

hello I had found this forum a long time ago and loved some of the custom build pictures etc... anyway- after owning our house for 10 years we have finally pulled the trigger on a remodeling project which includes the pool. my house is on the ridge in miami which means my property is at an...

Hey, so i just bought some new LED lights for my pool (2 lights) to replace the dead existing ones, but when installing it seems one of them doesn't want to turn on. it seems that when we hit the "Pool lights on: button only one of the lights is turning on. I have tested the terminals in the...

We bought our house with the pool about three years ago. The light in the spa was burned out but we don’t use a heater and never worried about it since we never use the spa. Now the main pool light burned out. I took out the fixture and replaced the light with an led and replaced the gasket...

Hello all. Just had my pool completed and have installed an Omnilogic control system. I have a simple standard 120v spare barn light that I would like to install over the pump. Just looking for some light for late night clean out etc. Question: Can I just hook this up to one of the spare...

Hello all. Just got a new liner and had company install niche for pool light. Installed the intellibrite 5g 12V and ran all wiring back to my control panel. I installed the intellibrite controller, and connected controller to the pentair 12v transformer. Everything is wired exactly like...
