    Very thorough explanation on what to do.

  • @themeparkdad

    Very helpful video. My interest was swapping out the power hungry 120V pool light to a safer low voltage 12V LED pool light. Thank you for posting.

  • @sunset4hundred44

    Thank you very much. This video helped me fix my pool light issues

    Hello JAKE quick question is there a reason why my spa light will turn on from my in-house remote it stays on for about three seconds and then it shuts off any knowledge and why this is happening

  • @honkeytonkjohnnygumbo1137

    First question and thank you ahead of time. Behind the light fixture is a compression nut that screws over a plastic threaded tube that the wire runs through. My tube is moving within the metal housing because the nut was over tightened. Can water get in there and cause the gfci to trip? (It is tripping because the gasket failed and the inside housing filled with water) I cant loosen the nut because the tube is turning with it within the metal housing. How can that be sealed? Im sure theres water in there and they didnt leave me enough wire to get the light on the deck. I have to have someone hold the light over the water level to change the bulb. Ugh!

  • @peruzzi12

    You mention a video showing best method for assembly of glass lens, gasket, and light cone, and how much to tighten. Please share

    we have the pentair intellibright lights in pool and spa. The pool light stays red and will not go to any other color. The spa will still go through the colors. Any idea why its only red in the pool light and what I need to fix it?

  • @honkeytonkjohnnygumbo1137

    Second question and thank you again. After the wire leaves the fixture, it runs through the niche and into the conduit. Is that hole in the niche (that the wire is running through) supposed to be plugged or sealed water tight so pool water doesnt leak through it? Thank you😢 i feel like giving up.

  • @kellikurtz7680

    we have the pentair intellibrite 12 volt fixture. bulb is dimming off after approx 15 seconds. aftermarket recommendations so we do not have to replace entire fixture?

  • @davidgimenez9026

    I changed our pool light bulb and That did not fix our light-The GFI is good-The Breaker is good-I did notice the Small metal Bulb loop stabilizer looking thing in the bulb holder is snapped off Could that be the problem if that is broke?If not how can I tell if the bulb holder is bad?Im not sure what else it could be-Thanks for any help!

    Jake, do you happen to know what Pool Light I can purchase to replace my current pool light (it's old, it might be from 1978!) which is a Purex Model 100-3 Forming Shell No. 425? Thanks!

  • @indiandad

    What prevents water from flowing when wire is pulled out /in?

  • @El_H006

    Do you have a video where there is a leak where the cord attaches to the pool light and water is getting into the housing and causing the breaker to pop?

  • @andrewcorlett

    My control can control Jandy and Pentair lights. Currently the pools has Pentair lights with Pentair niches. Can a jandy WaterColors light attach to the Pentair niche?

  • @Son_of_Aragorn

    Hi Jake! My Intellibrite 619820 (white) bulb stopped working. I unplugged and took it out to inspect...but don't notice any signs of overheating. It "looks" good as new. Can I use my multimeter to test it?

    Hi Jake, I cannot find a link to "replacement driver" as you indicated in the video. Where can I buy just the driver component vs. the $1k entire replacement? We have the Pentair Intellibrite that is starting to fail. It'll hold one color for a few hours, then magically start cycling thru other colors. Not always, but most nights. Light is on a daily auto schedule, on a 8pm, off at midnight. Thank you. Andrew.

  • @easterneuropeantracksuit3312

    Jake I opened my pool and the light is filled with water should I replace it?

  • @heidimacias9795

    What voltage meter did you use

  • @shery2146

    I replaced my pool bulb and within a month it was out again. What could be the problem?
