Hello. I have posted before on other topics and appreciate all of the help you have provided.

As I take more control of my pool repairs and maintenance, I am now onto lights. I believe I have the Microbrite lights in my pool and spa. The pool and spa lights are identical and the smaller 2" lens. I control them on the easytouch system with the interrlibrite settings. The bezel on my lights is not something I see online when I google Microbrite, but I assume the bezel is something that is a user choice. My pool and spa install was 2014 and my installer has replaced the spa lights and some of the pool lights over the past 8 years more than I can stomach.

I know that Microbrite lights are not serviceable, but wondered if the opening for them is compatible with other products, such as the J&J Electronics ColorSplash VU Nicheless RGB-W Series. I am not necessarily looking to save money, but would just like a superior product that will last longer than 1-2 years.

I think you are right. I googled the Pentair GLOBRITE lights and this photo came up, which looks close to my lights.

If that is the case, is the sizing of the opening for GLOBRITE lights compatible with the Microbrite light specs or something else?

I hope so!

Thanks

Pentair has three model Microbrite lights in an adapter or a Microbright adapter that will fit into the Glowbright niche. The 618040 MicroBrite-to-GloBrite adaptor installs onto any MicroBrite Light and allows it to be mounted into a GloBrite Niche or a ColorVision Bubble. Pentair also offers a MicroBrite-G light kit (item # 620166) which comes as a MicroBrite, color light along with the adapter but only in 150’ foot cord length.

  • WarmWhite LED, for installation in Pentair GloBrite Niche or Pentair ColorVision Bubbler - 602167
  • White LED, for installation in Pentair GloBrite Niche or Pentair ColorVision Bubbler - 602165
  • Color LED, for installation in Pentair GloBrite NIche or Pentair ColorVision Bubbler - 602166
  • Adapter allows a MicroBrite light to be installed into a Pentair GloBrite Niche or Pentair Colorvision Bubbler. - 618040
 
Note that your Globrite lights are in the fiberglass niche. Check with Pentair that the Micro-G lights will fit your niche.

Thank you for this. Super helpful. I will look into these and see what I can find out.
 
Replace the GloBrites with MicroBrites as they fail. The jury is out if the MicroBrites last much longer then the GloBrites.

Florida Sunseeker makes a GloBrite replacement light with adapter to fit the proprietary niche. Light is the Pool Tone Nicheless 1 1/2 inch Swimming Pool or Spa Light 15 - 100 Feet and the Adapter for Pentair globrite 1.5 or 1-1/2 inch lights. They include the adapter for free if you ask.

Note that the Globrite light is held in place by a twist lock while the Florida Sunseeker replacement light is held in place by friction. It will work on a flat pool wall surface quite well. The lights are about 6" in diameter so much bigger than the Globrite. And they also put out a lot more light.

This member posted satisfaction with the Pool tone nicheless 1.5" light replacing their GloBrite.
