That feels like a lot of work for the 21 century

[@UltimateTechHub]

I will be getting the digital controller eventually but yes it's definitely old school in a modern world. Thanks for watching.

[@1310marc]

@@UltimateTechHub Thanks for creating. We are doing a build now, or at least started the process

[@JamieZapata-o4n]

That's how they get you to fork out that $300 for the controller 😂

[@db9692]

I don't have a switch, I have a push button. Installed in 1980. Any way to make that work? I just want solid blue.

[@michaels2814]

Where do I find the toggle instructions?

[@THEREALBARBIE89]

This light sucks. It's only good for blue and green. Every other color is only in the deep end. Red should light the entire poool red.

[@mgonz1999]

The switching is lame for such an expensive light...should come with at least with a remote

[@UltimateTechHub]

I agree or the controller for the box should be standard. These lights are expensive and installation is also expensive. Thanks for watching.

[@jmo6722]

Maybe just buy the controller for $300 - the new one has WiFi and an app. This is not 1980 - who wants to spend $50k on a pool and use a light switch.

[@UltimateTechHub]

That is my plan.

[@bigpeps13]

😂

[@elizabethsavery8264]

Could you PLEASE take a picture of the light instructions that are located on door of the box? My pool company never supplied me with one, and I can't find it on the net anywhere! This video saved my butt! Thank you!

[@michaels2814]

Google Pentair Intellibrite Manual. The list is on page 6

[@GRJCLyon]

Imagine wanting number 12 and hitting 11, 13 and 14 a million times before you get it right. LOL

[@UltimateTechHub]

Haha

[@Hector-iw7rp]

Very nice but I think you need to replace the switch very soon 😂😂😂😂

[@AM2PMReviews]

I always forget which one goes back to white. 😂 keep on switching

[@Kromulok]

Nobody wants to talk about how absolutely horrible red mode is ?

[@UltimateTechHub]

It is bad. For me blue mode works best since my pool plaster is blue.

[@CamCruiser]

to have rainbowcolors switch it 1547 times 😂 (or maybe 2338 times)

[@philt4842]

On that model you can turn the lens to get better projection forward or in width depending on pool shape and light location. It looks like that one is set wider.

[@aglvideography8663]

Nice video, my pool was built in the 80’s and just had the 500 watt bulb that my kids would leave on. Lol just found the Jacuzzi brand screw on LED bulb that works in a similar fashion just couldn’t find any good videos on it. For an $80 bulb, can’t complain.

[@jarista9844]

This is great but I have two lights and each one is a different color now. Not sure what to do. Lol 🤷‍♀️

[@HEAVENLYTUNESDJANGEL]

Are both the same model and brand? They should be able to sync up again. I have the colorlogics ones from hayward and they both sync up after you turn off switch.

[@monicalder3968]

I have the same issue!

[@germanlopez2554]

That was a great video, you just helped set a customers pool to blue. Thank you

[@metlman_com]

Thanks a frickn lot I thought I needed a control. Lights tonight thanks to this vid..!

[@UltimateTechHub]

Glad I could help

[@NewHorizonsTravel]

That pool looks great! Thank you for sharing 💖

[@speakingwithgrace9107]

Awesome video and I’m I love with the pool 🤩😍

[@UltimateTechHub]

Thank you for the kind words. I have an entire playlist called Ultimate Pool Builds that shows the entire build process from dirt to the final pool reveal so check it out when you can. Thank you for watching.

[@RascalCatify]

Just got 2 of the smaller ones put in and they didn't leave the paper work with all this so this was super helpful. I assume the controller can just be installed in lieu of the switch.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes absolutely. We will do a video on the controller as well. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!

[@RascalCatify]

@@UltimateTechHub Got my intellibright controller today and am a little confused on hooking it up since it has 3 connections but the simple light switch only, as usual, has two. Did you do a video yet on installing, if so I could not find it.

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@RascalCatify I do not have a video on the installation. I believe 2 of the wires connect to one connection. The controller should have detailed instructions.

[@michaels2814]

My pool light switch is in a 4 gang wall box. It looks like the controller wont fit into the standard rocker cover plate? Any solutions?

[@UltimateTechHub]

I would call an electrician. That sounds like a custom job for sure.

[@furiousgtz]

900$ not that much bright.

[@UltimateTechHub]

It is pricey that's for sure. If mine ever goes out I won't replace it. It's around 1300 dollars for the light and professional installation. Ugh

[@furiousgtz]

​@@UltimateTechHub I bought it, man! $950+200 (install). I almost bought the cheapo amazon for $< 200, but I am unsure about reliability. So decided spend the money Had to pull an old 50ft wire. Even with the new Pentair light, I see dark spots in the pool (I have an oasis style pool), Not your typical rectangle. I tried to buy the new IntelliBrite Architectural Series but could not find it. So, I got the old 5G.

[@HEAVENLYTUNESDJANGEL]

That pool looks great! We can't wait.

[@kevinbowman2238]

Awesome, thank you!

[@davemorgan4055]

Thank you so much. Very helpful.

[@ronaprice5224]

I think this is the light that was just installed in my pool. I have the Pentair app on my phone, but all I can seem to do through the app is turn the light on and off. When I click on the "Color Lights" on the app, it takes me to a screen listing "ALL OFF" "ALL ON" "COLOR SET" "COLOR SYNC" and "COLOR SWIM", but when I click on any of those, nothing happens.

[@lupocci]

Is it still working after 2 years? I read many are failing after 1-3 years.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes still working perfectly. No issues.

[@LongHuynh-hc2fm]

I was wondering how you can change the modes because the constant color changing were annoying. Thanks for this!

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes the constant color changing is only cool for parties otherwise a soldi color is very pleasant. Thank you for watching!

[@sungodaz1764]

​@@UltimateTechHub I've watched the video and called my pool installer. All we want is solid BLUE color. I have spent hours trying to get it set on BLUE and once there, keep it there. Questions. Why does the setting change every time I turn off the light? Can you go from setting 3 to setting 8, or do you have to start from scratch every time? What is the difference on the 10 seconds off, the 5 seconds off, and how many seconds between OFF ON...I have the manual and it is confusing. Thank you.

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@sungodaz1764 Once you set it to blue which is what I use all time it will be blue when you turn it on. It should not reset eveytime you turn on the pool light. When you turn on the light with no additional flipping of the switch it should be blue. Keep me posted if you have any further questions.

[@sungodaz1764]

@@UltimateTechHub lol...I can't get it set to "blue". It's supposed to be position 8, but each time I try to get there, it always ends up at red. FYI the installer put in a "paddle" switch, not a toggle switch, the weatherproof electrical box was too small for the toggle, AND it's a 22 year old switch. I'm going to replace the elec box and the switch see if that works.

[@douglasolsson7768]

How fast to you flip the switch between off and on? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

[@UltimateTechHub]

It's pretty quick maybe 1 or 2 seconds in-between flips.

[@electricjed]

Great video

[@UltimateTechHub]

Thank you!!

[@oldkid6]

Do these instructions work with the Intellibrite LED light as well?

[@NeilSarap]

Helpful, Thank you!

[@bowesman1000]

I have a 14 year old Hayward Colorlogic that is just now starting to fail to where it won't lite anymore. i control it with Aqualogic (basically just turned it on/off to blue everything else quit over the years) my pool guy won't use Hayward anymore cuz too many failures. he will use Pentair intellibrite. have you had any success combine the hayward aqua logic controller with the pentair light?

[@a-laise]

Awesome work!!

[@UltimateTechHub]

Thanks for watching!

[@inextinguible_5]

I havent found the video on the controller installation, can you point me in the right direction?

[@sergioorozco9044]

Are these lights reliable? Do people have any issues with them?

[@gregnarez]

Thank you for that i found a controller for $150. I assume it will turn the 12 volt transformer on and off

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes it should. Keep me posted if it works. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!

[@krewization]

Where’d you find this 😂

[@michaels2814]

Brand?

[@j.t.8555]

Are your lights still lasting well?

[@UltimateTechHub]

Actually about 3 years after install the light went out. However it was under the 36 month warranty so it was a free light and installment. Only downside is I had to drain my pool.

[@j.t.8555]

@@UltimateTechHub Great update and thanks for the swift reply. I’m always skeptical of warranties. What did the replacement process involve?

[@chrisn.9794]

Question I have an inground gunite pool with 3 lights. 2 lights for the pool & 1 for the spa. I recently just had all 3 installed brand new not even a month old. My question is all 3 lights work but only one of the lights does not want to change color. How can i fix this issue?

[@UltimateTechHub]

It's probably a faulty circuit board inside the light. I had my light go out last month and pentair replaced it for free under the 3 year warranty. I would give them a call for service. Should be under warranty.

[@luisortho1165]

Greaaaat, thank you for posting. I appreciate the info.

[@bengtbacklund2491]

Hur få kontakt mellan lampa å kontroll?

[@UltimateTechHub]

Not sure what you said? But thank you for watching!!

[@gregnarez]

Did you do a video on the intellibrite controller

[@douglasolsson7768]

Should the attached Jacuzzi, (in ground, concrete) be synchronized with it? They aren't.

[@UltimateTechHub]

We don't have an inground jacuzzi just the pool.

[@JamieZapata-o4n]

Can you post a picture of the list you have with colors and numbers?

[@UltimateTechHub]

The list is in the description. You can copy and paste it then print it off.

[@redfawn6229]

They look nice

[@UltimateTechHub]

Thanks they look even better in person. Its hard to film the lights at night because of the glare.

[@hayeslarsen7062]

Thx soo much

[@UltimateTechHub]

Your welcome! Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!

[@ptt3975]

I have this system and I am underwhelmed. It's almost 2022 and they could only come up with 5 LED colours? Then they change the same 5 colours 4 different ways?? It's totally pathetic. Save your money, find another vendor with some creativity. By the way, at night, they are too bright except for the red. Really crappy system.

[@VIKINGOCATIRE]

Pentair is one of the cheapest companies. Their latest color led pool lights in the market was developed in the mid 2000s. Very limited color options and flippin on and off the switch a gazilion times is just nonsense. I can control my patio led color lights bought at costco with an app and select 16 million different colors besides dimming etc. Not with pentair. They need to get their act together. Its.almost 2023

[@ptt3975]

@@VIKINGOCATIRE lol and yeah I forgot about the clunking of the switch off and on

[@JenniferAllison]

Thanks!

[@UltimateTechHub]

Thank you Jennifer I really appreciate it! Have a great day!

[@JenniferAllison]

Sure thing! Your video saved me from having to purchase a control box just to get it to work, so I was grateful to find this. Thanks again.

[@PSOYinside]

Hi! what paint color do you need the pool for that color to blend

[@UltimateTechHub]

We got Caribbean Blue but white would probably be the best color. Some colors don't pop because the blue doesn't go well with it. Like red and magenta look a little dull. The rest of the colors look amazing! Thank you for watching I really appreciate it.

[@edcurley6630]

How do you get back to SAM mode?

[@UltimateTechHub]

Turn on the Pool light. Then once its on flick the switch up and down once and its the SAM mode.

[@rebekakhorrami5391]

Is there an app that can do this? :)

[@nreuter]

if you have pentair automation there is (easytouch or intellicenter)
