I am planning on replacing existing older Pentair pool lights with the color LED. Do I need to replace the existing wiring?

The lamp comes with wiring to extend to your control connections (length varies per your design). Supply power does not need to change as the lamps use a fraction of the power of halogen or incandescent units.

No - just be sure to order a unit the same voltage as your existing light. Get a 120v model if your existing system is 120v, or get a 12v model if your existing system is 12v.

The new pool light comes with wire that goes back to your above ground Junction box. The wire from the junction box to the controller does not need to be replaced.Hope that answers your question.

Its pretty easy! Took all of 30 minutes at the most and that because I flushed and lubed the conduit that the wire runs through. make sure you tie off the old light to the new light or use a fish tape to pull the wire and you will have no problems. Good Luck!

I don't know I have a 120V and this would not work in my pool. They have a 12V also as you see here......you'd have to ask a pool person or an electrician. If it's an older pool it most likely requires a 120V It's also no small job to replace these pool lights. Very expensive check that out too. I returned mine. Be sure first which one you need as this company charges a $20 restocking fee.

As I understand it LED's do not need either a ballast or starter. You would need to wire around it or remove it.

These lights take standard 115V AC power, which should be the same as your fluorescent lights, so yes, you should be able to use the existing wiring. I replaced a wall-mounted fluorescent light in a closet with one of these and it was an easy installation.

No. You must use a decent dimmer that's led capable. The old dimmers are hard on the electronics in the led

I do not know. My pool guy just unscrewed the old generator and put the new one on the same PVC connectors. He did not replace any wires. Everything else worked....just the generator was worn out.

Yes but sketchy . You need to access the existing ballast, cut only the hot and ground feeding the fixture, then using the wire nuts splice the provided pigtail to the hot and ground feed wires. Install the led tubes and connect the connectors.. Do not cut any other wires, do not remove the ballast as it provides the end to end connection for the new tubes good luck

They would have to have some type of ballast system to power the light. I would just replace the entire unit. There cheap. Mine seem to last about 3 years but i only run it on the weekends. I want to update to an LED in the future. Good Luck.

you need to remove the starter. should have had instructions with the light. the led requires no starter so you will have to do minimal rewireing.

You shouldn't need one. This is as simple as unplugging the lights from the old tail lights, removing the bulbs and hooking in the new light. Just be sure to match up the hot wires properly when installing the new lights. It is relatively straight forward. You can also go to the Spyder website for installation videos

I have called LED Wolesalers and talked to the guy's there, They are very helpful. Any question that you have they can answer.

Hi Daniel,No it does not need new wiring. Your ceramic style fixture is connected to an electrical box (we hope)with twoscrews. Take off the fixture (do not forget to flip the appropriate breaker off) The Lithonia fixture attaches withthe same screws you have taken out before. If you need additional clarification please let me know.Gerard

Yes, unless you have extremely old wiring -- black - white- and bare copper wires is all you need. These fixtures do not take nearly as much electricity as the old fixtures, so you are very safe using them.

I am not sure what you are talking about. But we removed the existing fixture which was more than 10 yrs old and replaced it with this light. No additional things were needed. Hope that helps.

The Dimmer will replace most types, with only 2 wires it is an easy connection. The mounting hole may need to be enlarged if the old dimmer was of the smaller size, but an easy job with a drill, if needed at all. L
