![]() | The Hayward ColorLogic offers five crisp, vibrant colors and seven light shows that seem to flow endlessly throughout the pool. It comes equipped with either a plastic or stainless steel face ring for corrosion free performance. It is available only in 12V so make sure when purchasing this you pick up a transformer as well. You can manipulate the colors and shows manually by toggling your light switch. Or take ultimate control over the color/show desired when hooked up to the Hayward Prologic or Omnilogic systems – this system will also offer four more light shows. But remember, this ultimate control feature can ONLY be achieved with one of these systems. |
Similar to the Colorlogic, the Jandy Watercolors LED light offers most of the same features but comes in 12V and 120V. It also dons a polished stainless steel housing, giving a sheen aesthetic to its appearance. Unlike all other LED’s on the market the Jandy Watercolors light only offers five shows but comes packed with nine distinct colors that are blended in transition with ease. You may also obtain ultimate control of this light through the Jandy iAquaLink system, which will allow you to remotely control your lights from anywhere at the touch of a button. | ![]() |
![]() | Next we will take a look at Pentair pool lights. The Pentair IntelliBrite is truly in a class of its own when compared to the rest. This is the only light in the bunch that can be controlled by multiple devices. Pentair offers a color wheel controller that can run these, Pentair automation, and even communicates with the Jandy iAquaLink as well. Its superior design can focus the light more towards the pool bottom while increasing the color intensity and effect. The lens on the light can be rotated 180 degrees to wither widen or narrow the beam to assure adequate light distribution. Pentair also carries an array of patio and deck lights that can link with the Intellibrite to create an even better outdoor show. |
Finally we have the J&J ColorSplash lights. These house many of the same features as the rest of the lights and typically retails about $100 less per light than the competitors. It too comes in a sharp polished steel design. All colors and shows can be triggered simply by turning the pool light on and off. J&J’s newest light fixture, the XG Series, now operates with Pentair and Jandy automation systems. Since these lights put out the same color, same shows, same light quality and is priced very economically compared to other lights, it’s no wonder these are flying off the shelves as fast as they are. For those that aren’t quite ready to make that kind of investment in a light, J&J offers retrofit bulbs that screw into your existing housing, offering you all the same features at half the price.* | ![]() |
