My pool is probably 40 years old It is concrete. I have tried to get the pool light fixed for the last few summer's. There seems to be a problem with it being so old. Are the lights all about the same size to fit existing light holes? Thanks! also I guess the model number is on the light. I purchased the light bulbs a few years back. And I had to really search for those.

Judy, You'll need to know the model niche and size that you have in order to get the correct replacement light fixture. There are different light fixture size and some light fixtures can't be placed in some niche's.

Hi. I need to replace an old American Products Pool light. Dimensions seem to match unit above. But I wish to know if I need to replace mounting plate in pool or if hole pattern will match my rim. Ameriproducts R-500-DB. (I know I should get the 500 watt model.)

Hi Greg, If your old light is an American Products Light and the dimensions match the dimensions shown here then you could use the Amerlite without the need to replace the mounting plate. Here you can view all of the Pentair Ameriltes.

On average, how much electricity would a 120V, 300W bulb consume in an hour? I'm trying to prove a point about leaving the light on for days on end.....damm roomates! LOL

Hi, Jeff. To calculate the cost based on your kWh rate, use this formula; Watts ÷ 1,000 = Kilowatts (kW) - Kilowatts (kW) x Hours of Use = Kilowatt Hours (kWh) - Kilowatt Hours (kWh) x kWh rate = Cost of Usage.

Decided after 35+ years of my 500W $$ eater to go with the LED!

Written on 6/5/2017 by lesis

Pretty simple: splice the new LED fixture's electrical cord to the old
120 volt line; access the old line at the electrical switch outlet and
disconnect from power. Start pulling old line (may need a friend's help)
until new line protrudes; keep pulling until 3' of line is left at the fixture
niche. Then cut off extra line at the switch outlet and re-connect line.
VoilĂ , your pool becomes an extravagant LED light show!!
