I replaced an old but working Pentair 120V 300W incandescent light. It was easy to remove the old, cut the cord, tape the end of the new cord to the old cord, and pull the wire through the conduit. Then just mount light on pool bracket. NOTE: Mine did not include the screw necessary to mount the light. I had to order one from 鶹. The supplied water proof transformer was also easy. Plugged that into a water resistant plug near where my light J-Box was. Just be aware this is DC, so get the polarity correct.
I would estimate the light is about 1.5X brighter than my old one. So about equivalent of a 500W incandescent. The color is more white and striking, so that may also make me think it is brighter. But it really makes the pool stand out. Almost too bright? Not sure. Looks great though.
Next to see is how long the brightness lasts. Several people have reported it dims over time. I will report back if I notice any dimming. One thing to be very careful of is to NEVER turn on the light unless it is under water. The bulb depends on water for cooling. You will end up burning it out or making it dimmer after even 10 minutes of use without water. OK to do a quick test, but no more.
