Product Overview

The Pentair IntelliBrite Architectural Series White LED Pool Light 602142 is a next-generation 12V underwater pool light designed to provide bright, even, and energy-efficient white illumination. This full-size pool light delivers performance commonly listed as a 500-watt incandescent equivalent while using only 31 watts of LED power.

With a 150-foot cord, stainless steel face ring, and advanced Architectural Series optics, this light is a strong replacement or upgrade option for compatible in-ground pool lighting systems. Its refined lens and optical design help spread light widely and evenly across the pool, reducing hot spots, dark areas, glare, shadows, and uneven light patterns.

Ideal For

This light is ideal for pool owners, builders, remodel professionals, and service technicians replacing or upgrading compatible in-ground pool lights. It is especially useful for installations requiring a longer cord run from the pool light niche to the junction box or transformer.

Key Features

Bright White LED Pool Lighting

Provides clean white underwater illumination for improved nighttime visibility and a classic pool-light appearance. This model is designed for customers who prefer bright white lighting instead of multicolor light shows.

500W Incandescent Equivalent

Includes a 150-foot cord for installations where the junction box or transformer is located farther from the pool light niche. Always confirm cord length before ordering to ensure it matches the site layout.

Full-Size Pool Light Fixture

Designed as a full-size pool light for compatible in-ground pool niches. Confirm the existing niche size, voltage, cord length, and fixture style before replacing an older light.

Improved Architectural Series Optics

The Architectural Series optical design helps project light broadly and evenly across the pool. This helps reduce glare, striping, shadows, and uneven brightness for a more polished nighttime pool appearance.

Stainless Steel Face Ring

The stainless steel face ring provides a durable, clean finished appearance at the pool wall. It is designed for long-term underwater pool use when properly installed and maintained.
