Time to replace Hayward ColorLogic light......again.

[danjaymor]

For the 2nd time in 6 years of pool ownership my Hayward ColorLogic is full of water again and failed.

I am considering replacing with a Pentair Intellibrite color led, it appears to be of better build quantity.

Does anyone have experience with that brand and/or opinions on which way to go?

Intellibrites have their own reliability issues...

Thanks, AJW....so basically we don't have any extra worthy replacement options. Perhaps I simply replace the Hayward with a Hayward and cross my fingers...….

There has been no LED pool lights yet that have consistent proven long term reliability. And it will take years to find out. I am not sure the manufacturers have an incentive to build a light that lasts long term. It will probably cost twice as much and people will not pay upfront for the quality.

You pay your money and take your chances.
