I am looking to buy a SR Smith PoolLUX Plus lighting control system with 2 Kelo lights. If I remove the Hayward Colorlogic 320 lights from my pool, will the Kelo lights fit into the same wall fittings, or are different fittings required?

Finished the install of the new SR Smith Kelo lights in the non-threaded 1.5" fittings used for my old ColorLogic 320s, and actually it turned out to be a pretty good fit. The Kelo light sit flush against my pool wall and the back side of the light slides a bit into the 1.5" fitting so the light fits nice and snug- even though they re not screwed into the fitting. I drilled 2 small holes into the 1" conduit on the side where the conduit pops up in my lawn (above the pool water level). I pushed a zip tie through the 2 holes to keep the light cable taut so someone in the pool cannot pull the lights out. I saw some other comments on this board, but important to lube up your new cable before pulling it thru the conduit. I spent hours trying to get the new cable thru and ended up severing my pull cord. Back to the store for a 50 ft fishtape to run another pull cord. After lathering the cable with Ideal yellow/gold lube, it slid right thru my 30 and 45 ft conduits runs.
