Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: Will this light fit in my existing niche?
A: Possibly. This model is ultra-compact (3.5″ long) and designed to fit standard 1.5″ pool wall fittings. However, you should verify your niche’s dimensions, wall thickness, mounting depth and wiring before purchase.
Q: Why does it have a 100 ft cord?
A: The long factory cord provides flexibility for positioning the transformer or junction box away from the light fixture, which can simplify retrofit installations or accommodate remote equipment pads.
Q: Can I control the colors or sequences?
A: Yes — the MicroBrite Color light supports multi-color output and is compatible with Pentair automation/control systems to manage color modes and light-shows.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: Installation should be done by a qualified pool lighting technician or electrician. The fixture installs in standard 1.5″ fittings, but care must be taken for proper waterproofing, bonding/grounding, and transformer integration as per local code.
Q: Will replacing an older light with this improve energy efficiency?
A: Yes — the LED design uses less power than older halogen or incandescent fixtures, and the compact form factor opens installation in areas not previously feasible.
