My PB is trying to talk me into this instead of the standard white halogen. The reviews on Amazon are horrible. It looks like they die right after the warranty expires and cost close to $1k to replace. Anyone use this light?
A lot of changes have been made to the light over the years. Much heartier than the past.
Take a look at the 12v color lights on the market. Very good reviews.

If you go back to my post a couple up you'll see I had the Hayward and it failed due to water leakage. Hayward has since sent me a replacement even though mine was out of warranty a couple years. I had done a good job of documenting what I believed to be the point of failure to them which probably helped. I think the back plate needs to be stiffer but on the new one they did shorten the tab at the top of the light which I believed to be the actual failure. It's possible that this new one will not leak and only time will tell. I'm also considering removing the light in the winter months just because I don't want to go through this again. If I can get 10-years out of the light I'll be okay with buying a new one but not after three years.
