HQUAPN03DC 12V AC Remote Control LED RGBW Color Change Inground Pool Light, 10 Inch 60W with 100 Feet Cord, Pool Light Transformer Needed,NOT Included, Fit for 10" Large Wet Niches.

Looks just like the classic Pentair light, hard to tell the difference even up close, although that plastic lens is a bit concerning for the long-term.5-lead wire for RGBW and power. Compatible with most off-the-shelf RGBW led strip drivers and such. Threw away the factory remote and controller first thing and got myself a cheap Zigbee LED strip driver to integrate the pool light with my Home Assistant setup. Worked like a charm, and the Zigbee box even fits nicely into the original pool light junction box. All this happening above the water level with easy access and great signal level for wireless control.The 60W power rating is a lie, the 12V AC LED driver brick limits current to 3.25A (do your own math) and the actual draw on the brightest setting is even less. But it's still plenty bright for our small pool. The ~6000K white being brightest of them all by far and all other color and CCT choices appearing much dimmer.Still contemplating if that chunky 12VAC CC driver box and my old rusty transformer even need to be there, when it can all be powered by a laptop power brick (with some care), but I guess it's good for safety.Now let's see what happens when this thing inevitably starts leaking in a year or two. The legacy Pentair lights definitely have a reputation for being pretty robust, I don't think this light has a chance to measure up, but only time will tell. At least the 5-strand cable design gives hope it could be gutted and refurbished for cheap some day with parts off of Ali.

It did not attach to my opening for the pool light when replacing the old one. The notch at the bottom was not far enough out to latch onto the notch. So I had to jury-rig a solution.The light itself works great and is bright. But be cautious that it will fit

Starting with the positive….. The light spectrum & colors are great and the light itself seems to be built well. The negatives… control box and remote are built very cheap. The box is not weather or critter proof. The components are cheaply velcroed to the inside. The directions are horrible. Have to scan a QR code to get actual instructions. Hopefully the light lasts. I did buy a warranty.

The install was simple. Bought a separate 120 VAC to 12VDC dual output power supply and a plastic box for it and the 12 V controller. They are bright and have so many color options. The remote control has very good range. I had Hayward color logic and they died after about ten years. I couldn’t justify the $1000 replacement just for the light. So I went with this 12v. Very satisfied. And the support is over the top excellence. Very responsive to questions about the remote operation. Pointed me to a you tube video. My wife and I DIYd a 10 inch in the pool and 6 inch in the spa. Highly recommend.

This was by far the easiest pool light change out I have ever made. The compact design allows for extra wire to be coiled behind it in the pool fixture. The colors are vivid and bright. As my Amazon account will show, this is the 3rd LED pool light I have bought in 2 years. Hoping this one lasts longer than the past 2 choices.

Could use a different remote system, something a little stronger, not real happy with the remote system changing the light colors
