We have 4 microbrites (the 1.5" standard wall fitting type)- 3 in the pool - 1 in the hot tub. After 3 years of not much problem- 1 of the lights in the pool gave up- flashing red- from the forums- thats an indication it needs to be replaced. At a replacement cost of $529 -that seems ridiculous- for a prodcuts that has had at maximum 100 hours of use- has anyone else here used alternative brands/suppliers? any DIY alternatives?
Microbrite lights dead- flashing red.

People are looking at the Jandy Hydrocool P-series lights as possibly having a better life span.
You can see what lights Florida Sunseekers has.
Rumor is Pentair is saying they have improved their lights and fixed the leaking problems however I don’t know how you know if you are getting old lights or improved ones.
All the pool LED lights are too new and unproven to say what life you may get. You pay your money and take your chances.

The PENTAIR rep last night provided a picture of what was changed, the gasket (blue) and the end cap (left side) will be black in color, they also did improvements to the electronics inside.

Thanks for the intel. That is a Globrite light, not the Microbrite light being discussed in this thread.
Has Pentair made any improvements for the Microbrites?

Our conversation was in regards to one of my customers situation with their Glowbrites and the Microbrites didn’t come up.
