I'm replacing a Pentair V-380662 "Wet Niche Underwater Luminaire". I can't find that V-380662 reference anywhere. The light has a label on it which says "Series # 784XXX, 788XXX, 789XXX". It also says the replacement gasket is P/N 79101600 and it takes an R40, 500 Watt, 120 Volt bulb. Will your model fit the NIche and serve as a suitable replacement, please?

Hi Les, Based on the information you've provided the Pool Amerlite 500W 120V will be the correct replacement light fixture needed. All you will now have to do is choose the cord length you need.

redoing a older pool at a home we bought. Light trips GFCI so need to replace it, The existing light is a American Products, model R-500-BC 500 watt light, can make out on label that it says to use a model No CN-5 fixture housing. Will this light work as a replacement? Any Pentair light? or other brand light fit in the existing housing? Just trying to figure out what my options are for a replacement. thanks

Hi Les, Yes this light would fit your fixture with details you gave. Also if you are interested in an LED Color Changing version of this light then you could go with this light fixture kit Pentair Amerlite 120V 50' Cord with Pure Colors LED Bulb

Looking to replace my old Amerilite in ground pool light with the same product (not thinking LED due to not using this feather very often). We have a 16 x 36 in ground pool and am looking for wattage suggestion - 300, 400 or 500 and can this unit be put on a dimmer switch if I go with the 500 watt?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/17/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alex V.

Jim, For your size pool, I would recommend a 400 or 500 watt bulb. Unfortunately, these bulbs are not dimmable. If you do not want the light too bright, you can opt to go with a 300 or 400 watt.

I currently have the Pentair Model 78458100 light fixture with a 120v/500w incandescent bulb and would like to upgrade to a color changing LED. What LED bulb do you recommend and what is the correct gasket replacement for the fixture.

 Reply

A  Answered on 7/23/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

You can use a few different gaskets that you can view on key 7 on the parts diagram here, and the 1st generation LED bulb would be part number PL5809 while the newer second generation model would be PL5859.
