Old light replacement options

[DocBob]

I bought a house with an older inground diving pool. The light wasn't working so I pulled it out of the niche... I assume this is an old halogen bulb fixture. Since it was filled with thick tomato soup looking material, I'm guessing it needs to be replaced. I have no idea what would fit... The light housing is only about 2 3/4 inches in diameter and about 3 3/4 inches deep. 120v. What options do I have?

Welcome to TFP.

Flip the lense and trim ring over and show us the other side.

It is likely an incandescent spa light from Pentair or Hayward. Maybe a Pentair Amerlite. You need to lookup dimensions and see what fits.

Maybe @1poolman1 can id it.

Looks a bit like a SwimQuip or older SpaBrite. I'll send to my Pentair rep and see if he can ID it.

This is the only light that properly fits that niche:

Pentair SunLite Light 100W 120V 30' SS FACRNG | 05605-2030​

What do you think about the 12V options by Emaux? 2ZTJ4 etc

I was gonna suggest those appeared to be a fit also.

Have never seen those. Looks to be a Chinese clone of a Pentair Spabrite. If so it won't fit the niche properly.

Thanks for all the replies... I apologize for the delay. I thought I had turned on notifications but in fact, I did not.

Anyway, you are correct, it is a SUNLITE...

So there is no low-voltage option that will fit the niche?

Pentair made a Sunlite LTV 12v light that fit, same fixture in 12v. It is now obsolete unless you can find someone that has one.
Just found out that Pentair says their EC-640132 will fit. If that is the case, the SpaBrite should also now fit, same light ring on an expensive color changing light..

I mistakenly tried to put a SpaBrite in a Sunlite niche several years ago. The bottom hook would not catch the niche. At the time I called Pentair and they said no to it fitting. Perhaps they made a change. The newer Sunlites had two "hooks" on the face ring, one to fit the SpaBrite niche. Maybe the did the same for the SpaBrite light. Inyo pools is a good source, you might call them.

Thanks @1poolman1 I appreciate it... I will check into that.

Update:
I checked with Pentair and the SUNLITE is the only lite they made that fits that niche. They told me to check with pool supply stores to see if they had anything that fits... Sooooo... has anyone had any luck fitting an aftermarket lite into a SUNLITE niche?

Some options. Call them before ordering.
