Is this light a proper replacement for an American Products R-400 BC? Will it fit properly in the existing CN-5 fixture? How about the 12-volt model?

Hi Larry, You would need to compare against these Amerilite Dimensions and if they match up then this light would work for you.

My 25 year old housing developed a pin hole (rust), partially filling with water and shorting the bulb out. Can I simply connect the new unit to the old wiring, or must I replace the old wiring with the new wiring?

You would need to replace the entire light fixture including the wiring.

My bulb burned out in my R400BCL light fixture which was a 400W bulb. I went to the local commercial pool supply store and they only had 500W bulbs available. He said it would work and that they sell them to the pool companies all the time as a replacement bulb. I would like to know if this is correct before I install the bulb.

Hi William, You can use replace a 400 watt bulb with a 500 watt bulb. I would also recommend replacing the light fixture lens gasket, so that water does not seep into the light fixture.

Hi Ron, I was unable to locate any info on a CN-5 pool light. If you can provide the model number of the pool niche we can find out which light will work as a replacement or you can compare the physical of this light to the one you have.

Im only getting 82 AMPS at the CN-5 fixture housing but 120 AMPS at the junction box where the cord is attached to the power source. Can I just replace the fixture housing without replacing the cord?

Hi Dan, A new light fixture will include the cord, there is no to purchase a fixture without the cord.

I need to replace a Pool Star, PHL-100-5 (trim ring is 10 inches OD.) The trim ring holds the fixture in the pool cavity with a clip at the bottom and a screw at the top of the trim ring. What replacement fixture do you recommend? Thanks.

I have and American Products R-400. The light works fine, but the frame around it is rotted. Can the frame/flange be replaced? The light is working fine. Water is also inside with the bulb.
