New Light recommendation

[Coolpool2008]

Hi All:
One of my Jandy lights burned out last fall so im going to replace both pool lights. They are the larger sized color changing and were installed in 2006. (I dont have the exact model in front of me). I want to replace with a good quality LED. I use Jandys iAqualink app and want something compatible. Please let me know your thoughts. I believe me current lights are 120v.

I haven't heard anything good about LED pool lights, seems that they all have problems. Others will hopefully pitch in for their experiences.

All LED pool lights are a gamble. There is not enough data yet of any LED lights that have lasted a long time.

ok thank you. What about a good long lasting non led? something with some good color changing abilities and will work with my iaqualink setup. Do they need to be Jandy brand or will Pentair or other brands be ok?

Stay with Jandy color changing lights to work best with your Aqualink. If you want color changing I think you are stuck going with LED.

Can your existing light be repaired?

I dont know if they can be repaired. The one light is stuck on red and wont change colors. They are pretty old so I figured I would change them both.

14 years is a good run on a light. I would look to repair it or replace it with the same model. Find out the model number and call inyopools

You are in for some sticker shock if you haven't checked the prices of lights lately. But I also recommend sticking with the Jandy. I have the watercolors and am very happy with them.

Thanks guys. Without taking the light out is there away to check to model I have?

Isn't it listed in your Jandy setup? No paperwork from when the pool was built?
