Does the fixture come with the bulb attached. Do we need to order bulb separately.
Do you have led bulb for the same fixture.

The fixture does come with a bulb. A standard 500 watt florescent bulb. You can order a fixture that has a LED in it if you with. It would be part number 601002. Or if you wish you can just order a bulb. That part number is LPLP1RGB120.

My problem is that the fixture continues to fill will about 1-2 in. of water. is the problem the niche or gasket or both and how can I determine which. Also, if I have to replace the fixture, how do I do this.
Thanks, Paul R. Powers

I have a Pentair in ground pool light that I need to replace the bulb, but I don't know the part number for the gasket. The pool light # is 78456300. Can tell me the part # for the gasket and how much it costs?

Hi Tom, you will require this Pentair Amerlite Light Gasket

I need to replace my pentair 784 series 120V pool light. I don’t know what the prior wattage was. The 500 watt seems to be cheaper that the 300 watt, is there any particular indications for one versus the other, other than the max bulb wattage allowed?
Reply
Hi, Max. The wattage of the fixture is usually based on the pool size or how bright you want the pool.

Is the wattage of the bulb the only difference between the 300 and 500 watt lights (part numbers 78928500 and 78456300)? Is the assembly any different or is there a different gauge cord used?
Reply
Hi TW, yes the only difference would be the light bulb, the gauge of the cord and the light housing will be the same on both models.

I see that you have this lamp with the cable in two colors. ONe balck and one orange? Wha is the difference.

Good day, Jorge,We have confirmed with Pentair there is no difference in the cord other than the color.

Would this Pool Amerilite 500 Watt be a replacement for Spectrum Amerlite [SAm] that is currently in my pool? See pictures. Also, my spa has a small Sam light but it works....do I need to change both or can I leave the spa light.
Hello Rick, you can leave the spa SAM light installed and not need to change it. If you can confirm the Large Plastic Niche, 1" Top Hub, Concrete - 79206700 then the Pentair Pool Products Pool Amerilite 500 Watt 100ft. Cord 120 Volt would be the replacement.

Hi, I have this old fixture and need to replace it, can you please advise on which Pentair product I need, thank you
Hi David, for your light fixture Pac Fab Hatteras you can use the Pentair Amerlite or the Pentair Intellibrite light series pool lights.

Thanks so much Hector, is there a way to replace the fixture and leave the electrical cord in place, I fear if the cord breaks midway through it would make it difficult to fix
Reply
Hi David, unfortunately, no, the whole fixture w/cord must be replaced. They are not manufactured to replace the cords. The Pentair fixtures must be professionally installed to honor the manufacturer defect warranty. If you self-install you will only receive a 60-day warranty from the date of purchase. We offer How To Replace a Pool Light Fixture http://www.inyopools.com/HowToPage/how-to-replace-a-pool-light-fixture.aspx if you choose to complete a self-install.
