lens gasket used on Amerlite incandescent and IntelliBrite LED pool lights. White rubber o-ring goes between the face ring and glass lens to prevent water from entering the light fixture.
Is this the correct gasket for American Products Model R-100 BC? Also, is there an LED bulb I can use? The product indicates R-30; 100 watt; 12 volt. Thanks very much.

Good morning Henry, Yes, This is the correct lens gasket. I would recommend the LED Pool Bulb Color Changing 12V 18W - PL5815. It is a great bulb and it is on sale at only $99.00.

I have two American Products pool lights. 500 watts / 120 V/ R40 bulb type. I have replaced gaskets already and a pool repair guy reinstalled lights. Both of them leaked. I have put silicone on the power cord leading into the light housing. The light housing says series 7885xx, 7845xx, 7895xx. Use with model 7821xx, 7822xx, 7823xx, 79206700, 79208900 fixture housing. Wet niche type.
What is the right gasket? Thanks.

Hi Jon, this is the correct lens gasket for the pool light you have listed.

I have same question as Jon F from 6/13/2017. My light has a label with exactly the same model numbers. However, the old gasket measures 8 ¾ OD, 7 ½ ID and 5/8 thickness. Your website shows the dimensions as 8 ¼ OD, same ID of 7 ½ and thickness of 7/8. Has my old one been compressed so much that its thickness has reduced and the OD increased? Also, should I use any lubricant with the new gasket?

Hi, Peter S. If you're measuring the gasket while it is on the lens then it will be a little bit larger in diameter because the gasket stretches over the lens. No lubricant is required when installing this gasket.

Hello. I have a Pentair Amerlite p/n 78456300. My current white gasket around th lens measures 8.5” OD, 7.5” ID and what appears to be 3/4” thick. To my knowledge this is the original gasket that came with the light 3 years ago. Is this gasket a correct (exact) replacement?

After watching an Inyo Pools DIY video on how to replace your pool light, it was recommended that you replace the lens gasket as well. It was a simple remove and replace. If you dont see water in the lens and the light is working there is no need to replace the gasket. Replacing it while I had the fixture open made sense and added extra confidence that there wouldn't be any leaks.

Pros: Fits
Cons: Must be installed correctly
Installed new bulb and seal in old Anthony pool. First install leaked like a sieve. My brother, who actually is a rocket scientist, happened to be visiting and noticed a very slight bevel on one side of the ring (which should face the light). Reversed it and so far no leaks.

This gasket was very hard to install. It worked for a while, but after the winter it leaked and had to be replaced.
