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.

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.
Tech specs and what's in the box
Everything you need to know before ordering.
Three steps. 30 minutes.
Swap your old pool light in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. No pool drain required.
Remove the old light
Unscrew the old light from its niche and lift it out at the deck. Standard hand tools, no specialty equipment needed.
Disconnect at the junction box
Disconnect the cable at the junction box, then pull through your new light’s smooth-jacket cable. Glides through tight conduit without binding.
Connect and drop in
Connect the new light’s leads, thread it into the same niche, and tighten by hand. Power on and you’re done.
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.
