Pentair Microbrite vs Florida Sunseeker

[mbeavers1]

I am starting to have lighting issues and need to replace lights. I started with 4ea GloBrites. One initially went bad and I replaced with an adapter and a Microbrite. Total cost was about $650.

Now, 2 more have gone and I received a quote of over $1700. I have purchased these from my PB at his cost and I do the work, but now this seems crazy.

I have seen on here that others have used Florida Sunseekers possibly. Other option is to buy Microbrites off the internet where I see them for $450.

Thoughts or recommendations?

UL Listing required?

When replacing a light fixture that is in a wet niche, is the new fixture required to be UL Listed? I'm considering a fixture from sunseeker, but it is not UL. I would really like to go with the SS fixture, but don't want to do something wrong.
