The AquaLumin ® II Lights nicheless lights provide brilliant, double contact halogen quartz lighting for all vinyl liner pools and spas. This revolutionary, patented design uses a mounting hub and bracket instead of a niche. This light eliminates the need for prepunched light panels, costly
make-up panels and extra braces for vinyl pools.

I have an AquLumin II Light will the AquaLumin III light work as a replacement?

Yes the AquaLumin III light is a direct replacement for the AquaLumin II light. However if you have the AquaLumin or AquaLumin I then you would require this retro fit kit in conjunction with the AquaLumin III light >http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352024766.htm

I just purchased two of the Aqualimn III (120V/250 Watt) lights from your website. I was wondering if these lights can be used with a dimmer relay. I have an Aqua Plus pool panel and it has the ability to utilize a dimmer kit to accommodate dimming the lights. See page 24 of the following link "Lights Relay". https://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/manuals/Manual236.pdf
I understand that some lights (such as fluorescents) should not be controlled by a dimmer so I am wondering if there are any dimmi

We spoke with the manufacture of the light and they stated that they do not recommend using the dimmer relay on the AquaLumin III light as a dimmer will shorten the life of any bulb. They also stated the halogen bulbs are more fragile then incandescent bulbs and that the life would be shortened even quicker on the halogen. With all of this being said they stated you could use the dimmer relay, but we wanted you to be aware of these potential issues. The dimmer relay for the aqua plus can be purchased here http://www.inyopools.com/Products/02200004034490.htm

I just received my Aqualumin III lights and it appears that the mounting brackets do not come with the lights. It does not appear that the light comes with everything for new installation in a vinyl pool with steel walls. Any insight you can provide is appreciated.

If you are replacing an Aqualumin light then you would require this Aqualumin retrofit kit http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352024766.htm If this is new construction or a new light installation then you would require either of the items here http://www.inyopools.com/SearchResults.aspx?KeyWords=78887 The 1" and 3/4" on these items is referring to the conduit size which the light cord goes through.

Gerald, I cannont determine if the 78863000 thru 78864311 is the Aqualumin, Aqualumin I or Aqualumin II. This AquaLumin III light is a direct replacement for the AquaLumin II light. However if you have the AquaLumin or AquaLumin I then you would require this retro fit kit in conjunction with the AquaLumin III light http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352024766.htm

The AL III was easy to install as a direct replacement. Fits the original AL II mounting bracket perfectly. This is easy if you have basic electrical wiring skills. Make sure the power is shut off before starting! Remove the old light from the pool as if you were going to change the bulb and cut the wire off near the old light fixture. Strip the end of the old wire, connect to the new cord and tape the whole thing so it will not come apart. Take the cover off the junction box and disconnect the wiring. Use the old wire to pull the wire from the new light through the conduit. Make sure you leave enough wire in the pool end to wrap inside the light so you can remove the light from the pool for future lamp changes. Also leave enough wire in the box to work with, at least 6", before you cut the new wire off. Reconnect the wiring as before and close up the box.
