I’m putting Jandy Color HydroCool Led 12W 100' Cord Nicheless Light JLU4C12W100P in Pentair GloBrite niche light holes. I ordered the P series because it’s a Pentair system. However, now that I have the lights and one is installed, I figured out there is no light controller, just a transformer on a timer. Changing colors and modes is a bunch of manual on/off light switching. Not how I want to spend my time.

At this point, with the P series lights, my understanding is that a Pentair light controller is my only option to control the P series lights. Is this correct?

(I like the Jandy controller, but at this point with the P-series lights, I do not think the Jandy controller will work correctly)
 
Pentair light controller or one of the Pentair automation systems simplifies color selection. Basically you tell it the color and the system does the clicks for you.
