A drop-in LED replacement for Pentair's complete 1.5 inch nicheless pool light family. Compatible with both GloBrite (main pool lighting) and MicroBrite (steps, benches, tanning ledges, and water features), including color, white, and warm white versions. Threads into the standard 1.5 inch nicheless fitting and runs on 12VAC, matching the original Pentair install. No pool drain required.

Choose your brightness and cable length at checkout. Select 6W for steps, benches, spas, and smaller pools, or 12W for full-size pools and maximum output. Then pick a 50, 100, or 150 ft cable to reach from your niche to the junction box. Between the two brightness levels and three cable lengths, there is a match for every Pentair part number, including 602053-602056 (GloBrite color), 602102-602105 (GloBrite white), 620424-620430 (MicroBrite), and the EC- and MicroBrite-G adapter versions.

Built to outlast the original:

  • Soft glow diffuser for even lighting with no hot spots
  • Perma-seal housing engineered against the water intrusion that ends most pool lights
  • High-efficiency LED chipset that runs cool for years of operation
  • Liquid heat-transfer cooling for sustained brightness
  • Thin-jacket cable that pulls easily through tight conduit without binding
  • 13 RGB color modes for vivid, programmable lighting

Covered by a 2-year warranty against water intrusion and LED failure. Free US shipping with same business day dispatch before 2pm ET. 150 ft cable orders ship within 5 to 7 business days.

How to choose

Pick the right brightness and cable length

Two decisions, both quick. Use the guide below to match your pool's setup.

Brightness

How bright do you need it?

6W

Smaller pools and spas

Best for pools under 25 ft, spas, water features, or replacing a lower-wattage OE light. Plenty of brightness for accent and ambient use.

12W

Standard residential

Best for full-size residential pools, deeper pools, or when you want maximum brightness. Matches or exceeds OE 12W outputs.

Cable length

How long does your cable run?

50 ft

Short runs

Spa lights, small pools, or junction box close to the niche. Most spa retrofits.

100 ft

Most common

Standard residential pool. Junction box at the equipment pad. The default for most retrofit jobs.

150 ft

Long runs (custom order)

Large pools, complex conduit routing, or junction box far from the niche. Custom order, ships in 5 to 7 business days.

Pro tip: Most Pentair part numbers map to a cable code. GloBrite color: 602053=30ft, 602054=50ft, 602055=100ft, 602056=150ft. MicroBrite color: 620424=50ft, 620425=100ft, 620426=150ft. Or just measure from the niche to your junction box.

Inside the housing

Engineered to outlast OE

The design decisions that separate our replacement lights from cheaper alternatives.

Perma-seal housing

UV-resistant polymer with sealed seams. No yellowing, cracking, or water intrusion.

Liquid-cooled electronics

Driver runs cool. Lower operating temperature means significantly longer LED life.

Soft diffuse lens

Even illumination across the whole pool. No glaring hot spot like OE lights produce.

High-efficiency LED chipset

Visibly brighter than the OE light. Full luminance across all 13 RGB color modes.

Brighter than my old GloBrite

Dropped right into my existing niche in about 20 minutes. The color is noticeably more vivid than the Pentair light it replaced, and there is no harsh hot spot from the deck.

Mike R.Cape Coral, FLApr 2026
✓ Verified buyerSample

Easy swap, great color

Pulled the old light, fed the new cable through, and was done before lunch. The thinner cable actually pulled through my conduit without a fight. Blues and greens look fantastic at night.

Dana P.Naples, FLMar 2026
✓ Verified buyerSample

Works great, solid build

Light quality is excellent and the housing feels far more solid than the original. Color modes cycle with the power just like described. Would have liked a few more built-in shows, but for the price it is a clear upgrade.

Carlos M.Tampa, FLMar 2026
Sample

No more yearly replacements

Our last two lights died within a couple of seasons. This one feels much better sealed and the housing seems far more solid. Six months in and it still looks brand new.

Saved a ton vs the dealer

The dealer wanted way too much for a replacement. This was a fraction of the cost, fit perfectly, and shipped fast. Very happy with it.

Before you order

Common questions

The most common questions we get about this replacement light.

How do I know if this fits my Pentair light?

Match the part number on your existing Pentair light against the compatibility list above. We have direct drop-in replacements for every GloBrite and MicroBrite model in 30, 50, and 100 ft cable lengths. If your light has a 150 ft cable, we can custom-order one for you. If you have a larger 10″ niche IntelliBrite (5G or Architectural Series), see our IntelliBrite waitlist page — our 10″ replacement is coming soon.

Does this work with my existing Pentair controller?

Yes. The light runs on standard 12VAC and works with any Pentair pool light controller, including IntelliCenter and EasyTouch. The 13 RGB color modes change with on/off power cycling, which every controller supports. Native sync with Pentair’s named color programs (IntelliBrite shows, party mode, etc.) is coming in a future firmware update.

Do I need to drain my pool to install it?

No. The light installs the same way as the OE Pentair light. Pull the old one out at the deck, swap, and reinstall. No drain required. Most installs take under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.

What comes in the box?

The replacement light and a printed install guide. Unscrew your old Pentair light from its niche, disconnect at the junction box, and connect the new light’s leads to the same wiring.

How fast does this ship?

Orders placed before 2pm ET ship the same business day. Most US customers see delivery in 2 to 4 business days via ground. Free shipping is included on every order. 150 ft cable custom orders typically ship within 5 to 7 business days.

What’s the warranty?

Two years against water intrusion and LED failure. If the light fails for either reason in that window, we replace it. Just keep your order email. No registration required.
