My pool has two colorlogic lights both wired to a single transformer box recently when I turn them on one will not light up for about an hour then it comes on. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

Hi! That is an interesting problem. Makes me wonder how old the lights are. I al so have a PM into someone that might know the answer. I will learn along with you!

First thing is to check junction boxes for a corroded splice issue or at the transformer if both lights go directly back there. If splices all looked good then most likely it is the failing bulb.

Hi Joe Terry,
It does sound like the PCB board inside the Hayward ColorLogic is going bad, the exact same thing happened to me on my light. The downside to the LED lights that use a PCB board instead of a bulb is that the entire light fixture needs to be replaced when the board/bulb goes bad. I personally like a light like the PureLine PureColors as the LED Bulb is replaceable meaning that if the bulb goes bad then you are looking at an easy $150 bulb replacement instead of a more difficult $600 complete light fixture replacement. If you did decide to go with a PureColors light fixture then you would need to replace both of your lights so they would synchronize. If you decided to stay with the ColorLogic then you would need one of these Hayward ColorLogic Lights.

So here's my question: Why does the Hayward installation manual show leaving an excess coil of wire in the niche if you can't do anything to the fixture when it's up on the deck?

I think it's so when they plaster the pool when new, or replaster later, that it can be out of the way. If it were in the pool niche, it would be a pain to work around. I know this is A reason, but I'm not sure if it's THE reason.
