tiredofnopoolight Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi Guys, New to the forum and hoping to get some kind of experienced opinion about a possible pool light. First a little insight. I purchased a home two years ago that had an older pool that needed major work done to it. It was trashed and I invested heavily into it. I had the pool re-concreted and then professionally lined with fiberglassed. It turned out absolutely beautiful and looking new. Here is the issue though. The niche is from American Products Company and the conduit box says the same. The niche's Outside Diameter is 6.25". Since day one, I've been trying to find a light to fit it. Most of what I find is around the 10" OD. In desperation I even order a Chinese light that was the approximate OD in mm. It was slightly smaller and fit nicely into the niche. But alas, to no avail because the wiring was not US friendly. I've asked my local pool shop but they're either too busy, don't care enough or simply don't know enough to find me something that works. I'm getting desperate and have already realized with the Chinese light that it doesn't have to be a perfect fit (it just has to fit inside the niche and it will work). Does anyone know of something in that diameter? Whether it be a pool or powerful spa light, I just don't care. I'm just tired of having a beautiful pool I can't fully appreciate at night. Thanks for reading and any insight you may provide. PS - My forum name might seem weird (tiredofnopoolight) but it states how I feel Tired Of No Pool Light! Lol.

TomTom Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 The color splash pure white LED bulb will fit your niche. Most pool supply on line companies have it. It is made by J&Jelectronice.com. I know because I have a SwimQuip niche and it is smaller and it will fit mine. It has the Edison screw in regular size end and will screw into your niche. Hope this helps.

LegsOnEarth Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 If you have a 6" American Products niche, then you have a spa niche. The product you would want (assuming you are replacing the whole light and pulling the new cord etc) is either a SpaBrite or an AquaLight. Both will fit a 6" Ameri-niche. Both are still made by Pentair. The 10" that you bought is the standard Amerilite. Hope thats helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
