Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: What is the difference between warm white and standard white LED lighting?
A: Warm white provides a softer, more natural glow with a slightly golden tone, creating a more relaxing and upscale nighttime atmosphere compared to cool white lighting.
Q: Will this fit my existing pool wall fitting?
A: In many cases, yes. The MicroBrite® is designed to fit standard 1.5″ wall fittings, but you should always confirm niche size, depth, and wiring clearance before installation.
Q: Why does this model include a 100′ cord?
A: The longer cord allows greater flexibility for transformer placement, especially when the equipment pad is located far from the pool or spa wall.
Q: Is this light suitable for full pool illumination?
A: This fixture is best suited for accent and shallow-water lighting. Multiple MicroBrite® lights may be used together for broader illumination.
Q: Is professional installation recommended?
A: Yes. Installation should be performed by a qualified pool professional or electrician to ensure proper waterproofing, bonding, grounding, and code compliance.
