I think I blew my new Pentair Intellibrite 5G LED Light

[sloanhaus]

So I bought this light a little over a year ago and can't figure out where I bought it. I decided not to install it into my pool at the time as my wife decided we should move. Fast forward, I went to install it into the new pool and I hooked it up to 110v when it is a 12v light.

Does anyone know if these lights have a fuse or something that I can swap out to fix the light. Thanks,
Brad

Welcome to TFP. Sorry you came here just to hear that you fried your light.

Welcome to TFP. Sorry you came here just to hear that you fried your light. That light is now trash.

So nothing can be done? I'm surprised they don't have a fuse in the light for power surges. That really sucks, $900 down the drain.

Actually there is a Fuse Assembly in the 12V lights. See page 14 in https://www.pentair.com/content/dam...lor-pool-spa-lights-manual-english-french.pdf

Did you open up the light and see if anything looks fried?

Thankful so much. Opened it up and you are correct. There is a fuse and it was blown. Ordered a new one for $20. So thankful!

Let us know if the 120V only blew out the fuse. Somehow I doubt it but wish you luck.

I think 120 volts hit the electronics before the fuse blew and may have fried some circuits. Fuses help protect devices from amperage overloads but not voltage overloads.

Switched out the fuse and it works! You saved me! Thanks so much!
