Replace fiber stars lighting

Pool Equipment
1

Hi,

About 10 years ago I bought two fiberstars UC-1C underground illuminations.  They have worked great for years but recently one failed due to moisture ingeress.

My question is do you have a LED replacement light system that will provide the same amount of light ( or more) and install in the same size lens housing as the fiberstars system. My present system has the color wheel.  Is there an option with the color option?

Thank you,

Ralph

Hi Ralph,

We do have a fiber optic illuminator which is powered by an LED bulb, here is this LED Fiber Optic Illuminator this illuminator is not designed go underground. So in this scenario you would still use your fiber optic cable but the cable would be powered by a LED illuminator. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank You

I have a 12 year old Fiberstars color wheel light, and it finally gave up.  What brands, models of LED lights will fit into the Niche (Housing)  My niche has one screw at the top holding the light assembly in.  Im looking at the Pentair White LED 5g,  (not sure if i need 300W or 500W).  and would like to know if it be a direct fit.

thanks,

Robert

I decided to replace my two fiberstars UC-1C underground illuminations with the SAVI SOL LED lights.  Two lights and the transformer were lower in cost than the single LED Fiber Optic Illuminator referenced above.

They fit right into the existing 1-1/2" through-wall fittings.  They do not use a controller, rather, the color is selected by cycling the power to the transformer.  I wanted a remote control like I had for the Fiberstars system so I installed a WEMO WIFI light switch, made by Belkin and sold on line by home depot (~$45).  There is an app which allows me to control the lights from a phone or ipad in addition to the switch.

I hope that this helps - Ralph

I jumped in the pool and took a look at the housing, it is a Pentair Niche (housing).  Can’t see a model number on it.  The light measured 8 3/4" wide on its housing, and the outer flange is 10 1/4" wide, and about 5 inches deep. the screw hole that holds the light in is about 1/2" smaller, so 9 1/2 or 9 3/4,  i did not measure the niche diameter.  I could do that if needed but misplaced my mask.  Are all Pentair housings the same?  will the Pentair white 5 g fit this?

thanks
