Product Overview

Benefits
The Pentair IntelliBrite Architectural Series 602179 is a strong option for pool owners who want reliable white LED lighting with modern efficiency. Instead of using a traditional 500W incandescent light, this fixture provides comparable white-light performance while operating at only 31 watts, helping reduce energy consumption.
The 100-foot cord makes this model useful for larger pool layouts or equipment pads where the junction box is farther from the light niche. Its Architectural Series design helps spread light more evenly through the pool, improving nighttime visibility and giving the water a cleaner, more refined appearance.
