I had the bulb in my pool light replaced 3 months ago. There is water showing inside the glass case about 3 inches from the bottom. Is this normal? Or is the gasket bad?

This can happen and can be from the gasket going bad, not secured correctly, or the clamp not tightened correctly.

I need to replace an American Product, Model CN-5 that uses an R 500 B light. Is the Amerlite 500 15' cord 120 the replacement unit that I need? My CN-5 has a length of 7.25" with a diameter of about 9".

Hi Patrick, The Pentair Amerlite will replace the American Product CN -5 fixture if you have also have the American Products large niche.

Is there a 12V version of this light that puts out as much light as this 500W 120V version? I want to convert from 120V to 12V to light a 20x40 inground vinyl lined pool and only have (1) niche.

Hi, Leroy. There is not a 12 volt option to this Amerlite 500 watt fixture. The Amerlite 300 Watt 15' Cord 12V - 78431100 is the brightest 12 volt option.

Light assembly is showing rust where the bulb screws in. Is it possible to replace that part only.
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/26/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Art. The light housing is not sold as a replacement part, you'll have to replace the entire fixture.

Hi Eric, yes you can replace your model pool light 60-xx5x Pc Fab Hatteras with this Pentair Amerlite light fixture and would not need to change the niche so long as it is a Pac Fab niche as well.

My old light was leaking and throwing the breaker

Written on 7/20/2020 by Guest

My old light was not installed correctly. There was not a lead to pull the light above water to replace the bulb. When my bulb burnt out, I had to unwired the light. When it was reinstalled water got into the wiring and caused it to fail.

Simple fix was to purchase a new light. I did not want to mess around with electricity and a pool. Inyo pools had the best price and delivered as expected. I got the exact Pentair replacement and was able to put it in immediately. I also found some great tips on installation, like having excess cord coiled up on the light recess so you can easily and safely replace the light. Problem solved. Thanks Inyo!
