How to Replace Pentair LED Globrite with Amazon Waterproof LED

[@VeteranHwyFuzz1]

Worked perfectly - sealed it with plumbers putty. Thanks.

[@grantk371]

Which putty did you use?

[@TunerwithKids]

@grantk371 I used butyl rubber.

[@fernandolehnen153]

Worked, thank you! I had two bad lights. Saved pretty much $1000 dollars! Ok, no more change in colors, but I can live with that...

[@TunerwithKids]

I’m over 6 months on these and on every night at sundown to midnight. No issues.

[@tomkowtko8660]

Replaced the Amazon lights and are working great. Thank you! The lights fit pretty snug and I was wondering if you had any idea how to pull them out once they clicked into place with the butterfly bracket. It may be tricky to fold them back to pull out for next time. Any thoughts?

Thank you for the video I replaced my 3 Globrite lamps with these amazon waterproof aluminum shell base, 2 weeks now working like a champ way cheaper than paying $500 for each globrite lamp + $500 labor each !!

[@hankfuselier8354]

Awesome! My pool guy wanted $1500 to replace 2 lights. I am ordering the parts right now to do it myself. Did anyone find a suitable o-ring?

[@TunerwithKids]

No. Just running as is. No issues and I have these on smart home control and turn on at sunset til midnight every day since I installed.

[@thomasbova3461]

I just installed these as well. I had the Pentair microbrites the housing cracked on both of them as well. Installing these saved me $900+ vs Pentair

[@josemoreno3334]

Great idea. I'm going to try it soon. Thanks guy.👍

[@ES-yi8vv]

awesome job! I have the same problem and was looking at these lights. I am glad to see they worked out for you.

[@TunerwithKids]

Going strong and on til midnight every night.

please put a link as an amazon search do not come up

[@TunerwithKids]

Look in description box? It’s there.

@@TunerwithKids found it, thank you for your knowledge and sharing

[@BlazerRox]

My globrites lasted 5 years and then dropped like flies, I now have 3 dead as well as my intellibrite spa light

[@BlazerRox]

Update: I got a quote from the company that installed my lights to replace them. Over $3000! Pretty good racket they have going on if they get to do this for hundreds of customers every 2-3 years.

[@somaliskinnypirate]

@@BlazerRox don't do it. Find a solution using the many ip68 lights being sold by numerous Chinese companies for a fraction (the real cost). Pentair is a scam company

[@kathyvaldez5538]

Thank you for the video, it’s a life saver, I’ve had similar led lights in my amazon cart for a while and didn’t buy them because I couldn’t find anyone doing what you just did, thank you! I need to replace 8 globrite pentair and resisted to pay so much money on them. What did you use the sealant tape on?

[@TunerwithKids]

Used the sealant around the solder joint in case.

[@jackiey2232]

Do you know if these lights are compatible with J&J Elec Colorsplash Led 12v 20w 1.5” nicheless lights? Thanks in advance!

[@TomKowtko]

I received my lights but no remote? Are you using your existing Pentair remote to turn on and off??

[@TunerwithKids]

Yes same Pentair power supply and controls.

[@tonym2881]

You have a link to the lights

[@TunerwithKids]

See description of video.

[@somaliskinnypirate]

I see you're having as much fun with Pentair products as I am. I had the same issue with these lights...same crack... replaced one with the microbright, but next time I will check these out. I was in the middle of designing a direct replacement using color high power led surface mounts and a microcontroller to read the proprietary Pentair algorithm that changes the colors..pita. it's on hold now as I don't have the time. The other day, the protocol module died (box that has the ethernet jack and hooks to the transceiver)...again, proprietary $400 part that literally has $10 worth of surface mount electronics.... Ic40 salt cell died twice prematurely...$1200.... i tried taking it apart...haha, lol...its bathed in epoxy....off brand cells don't interface with the automation.. I designed and printed a plastic cover to shield it from the rain as water ingress was the cause of one of the failures...I have a feeling Pentair sues anyone that tries to make compatible hardware. In Orlando as well. Great videos, subscribed

[@TunerwithKids]

@somaliskinnypirate if you saw my other Pentair videos, I’ve fixed a few other issues with my control board. The RS485 chip died after lightning storm and my relay transistors died but luckily both were easy cheap fixes. I have these new Amazon light on every night at sunset til midnight and no issues. Just no color change. I just have the one MicroBrite for color change.

[@somaliskinnypirate]

@TunerwithKids just ordered the lights (normal white) from Aliexpress. Had to dig, but like $15 a piece with free shipping...same exact ones. There are others from the same manufacturer but are only IP67.

[@modernwize]

are you happy with the amazon lights?
