Jandy Color LED nicheless greenish/yellow color showing through.

[SpringPool]

Not sure if the lights I have are defective or they reflect light through the green/yellow led butnim getting a flectuon of sorts on the bottom of the pool. Here are a few pictures it's mostly visibl with the lighter blues.

Has anyone experience anything like this? I need to talk with the PB but he hasn't used these lights a lot. I'm also going to send Jandy an email and maybe call but wanted to check here first.

Thanks

Erik

Its a bit harder to see in these and is more of a band. It's almost like the green led isn't flush and is catching the other leds light.

I would be tempted to get up and close and personal with that light. Can you take it out? Has your PB been out to look at it yet?

PB has been sick with s summer cold. He's stopping by today. I did receive a response from Zodiac (within 24hrs). They said it would be fixed under warranty if needed. So now to see what the PB says today.

Hi Erik. I have two of those in my pool, along with two of the full size LED lights. The nicheless ones do put off a small bit of yellowish/green light but it doesn't seem quite as noticeable as what's in your first few pictures and only shows very close to the light. I'll take another look tonight. In general, I like the light these put off, however, their longevity is questionable. In less than a year, I've had to replace both nicheless lights twice. There's been something wrong with the way they manufacture the blue LED, so all of the sudden your blues stop working look green instead. Jandy/Zodiac has been great and quickly get a company out to replace them, no questions asked. They have a three year warranty (because you have multiple Jandy components), so my hope is they figure out the problem soon and replace them again with ones that will last longer. Hopefully you won't have the same problem, but if you suddenly lose the blue color, don't sweat it. Call Jandy and they'll connect you with a local company and send someone out.

Thanks Chad

i was surprised by the response time in their email. I had read a bit about issues but the technology can only improve. And having such a small foot print for a light is great.

I couldn't agree with you more. In hindsight, I'd probably have done all nicheless lights rather than 2 and 2. Not only do they look super streamlined and barely noticeable in the daytime, they cost less than the large lights so you can add more of them and better balance your source of light at night making the pool look more uniform. The drawback of having a combo of nicheless and niched lights is the two do not put off the same color light. It's not a major difference, but you can tell they are not the same despite being the same brand/manufacturer.

Which ones put out more light, and gave they gotten better? I reas there is a newer version now of the nicheless. Thanks
