Poolexa 10 Inch LED Multicolor Inground Pool Light – Stainless Steel Housing, 50ft Cord, RGB Controller for Wet Niche

This LED, slim super easy to install light is about 2-3 times more affordable than other pool lights in this category. Installation was a breeze as long as you are patient while pulling the slim cable through the original pool light tunnel. It took my uncle and I 4 hours to install but only because we broke the slim cable that was attached to the old light the first time. We had to get a fishing wire to attach to the new slim LED pool light cable. It would have taken us under 3 hours (for two lights) if we didn't make that mistake.Pros- Brightness is very good for the priceEasy installation and you can control two lights with one control/transformerComes with it's own 12v transformer and manual controlAbility to control it via smartphone, bluetooth applicationThe cost is a big positive. You will not find a better light or easier installation for that price. I was able to save close to $1200 as I installed the spa light as well (if I had installed two regular brand name lights with fixtures). I've had the lights installed for almost 3 weeks now.Cons- The only con I see is that it's not wifi controllable through the application. However, that's not a big deal as you can control the colors and modes via bluetooth. The range is about 20-30 feet bluetooth range from controller to smart phone. However, within range, it's very reliable to control. Be patient and follow instructions. You might be S.O.L. if you have Android though as there are mixed reviews with Android. IOS works very well.

really easy to install i had to pass the cable from the pool to my shedlight is really beautiful except the red illuminates no more the 10 feet my pool is 25 feet longstill give it a 5 star for the other colors

I love this light! I’ve been dealing with an older installed housing that was leaking and decided to swap out the entire thing with this light, and I’m glad I found this one.Super easy to install, the new 12v cord is way smaller than the original 110v cord, so I just attached the thin new cord to the old cord and pulled it through.The light is spread out way better than before. It really lights up all areas of the pool.The colors are nice and bright, and you can set your own custom program through the app. The app is kind of funky, it’s not perfect, but it gets the job done.I love that the light itself is 12v and the control module is 110v. Nice and safe and the 110v section is safe and dry on land and there’s only 12v going into the pool.The LED pool section has no seal to wear out and replace it’s just a waterproof plastic or acrylic unit.I also like that the control module and light are separate, if I ever have to replace the light part, I can just order that part for 33% less.Also the price, waaaaaay cheaper than the name brand stuff, like not even close in price and this seems like a rewlly good quality product, 6 months now with no issues.Once my Spa light finally fails, I’ll be replacing it with the ‘Poolexa’ as well.Tips on accessories for the install:I also bought a spool of kevlar string to connect to the old cable in case the new cable disconnected from the old cable as I pulled it through, luckily I didn’t have an issue.I bought a 11.4"×7.5"×5.5" wall mount weatherproof irrigation box to mount the control box in as other reviewers recommended protecting it and that size worked great, I did have to trim a small bit inside the box to make it fit, so go slightly longer if you don’t want to trim the inside, but I’d personally buy the same size again and just trim it.

This is a lengthy review, but wanted to provide some information which is NOT easily accesable to locate online or anywhere else really.Review:The light is great, no issues, wiring was a snap into my circuits.Install Tips/Help:Ok, if you’ve never run electrical through conduit, I highly recommend you watch some videos first. What you need to know is 99% of pools are bonded to the entire circuit via a bond line located in the niche where the pool light is installed, leave it alone.Before you even touch the old light, you need to procure some jet line and attach it to the old pool light cable by your power source. When I say attach, I mean make damn sure it’s attached in a way it does not come lose in the conduit. Do not create a ‘bulge’ where you attach the cable, it needs to be small enough to snake through the ¾ (or ½ depending on the run) conduit all the way back to the pool niche.Pool light conduits WILL have water in them, no need to worry, that’s normal. However; because of that, electricians will often times put some caulk goop at both ends of the conduit to minimize the amount of water. That’s cool, but when you start to pull the old light cable it will appear to be stuck or hard to pull. The best way is to tug on it with some jerking motions to break the caulk goop from both ends. Don’t worry, you won’t break the electrical cable, it’s stranded and very tough. Once the caulk goop is broken free pull the line gently through the conduit.Once you get the cable all the way through, pull out about 10-15’ of extra jet line. Use the extra slack in the jet line to attach to the new pool light electrical cable, follow the same process as you did with the old cable. I highly recommend you have someone there to help for the next part….Have the other person slowly pull the jet line as you feed the cable through the niche and into the conduit opening. Continue feeding while the other person pulls…. If you’ve done the above correctly then the new cable should come right through with no issues.What If:If for whatever reason you do manage to break the cable or jet line, your next option is the bond line, you follow the steps above, but use the bond line to pull jet line through, then feed BOTH the bond line and new pool light cable through….What If Part 2:If you completely hose all the above, call an electrician.

The light is bright and not bad looking at all. It fit into my Pentair housing just fine. The hookup is pretty easy. If you have wired up a light fixture and know basic 120v skills you will have no issues. Manual control at the box is fairly easy. However, the companion application has a learning curve and the bluetooth connections are intermittent and undependable. If it were not for the issues with the phone app I would give this a rating of 11.
