My original in ground pool lights went out after 12 years. I have the Pentair Spectrum Amerilite (SAM) unit in both my pool and connecting spa. The nomenclature on my unit says: No. T-826048 light fixture with bulb type MR16, 75 W, bulb series 600015, 600016, 600017 and 600022.
Can I replace my SAM light bulbs with an upgraded bulb (ie an LED bulb)? If so, which should I replace with? Thank you.

Hi Bill, Unfortunately there is not an LED bulb replacement for the SAM lights. If you wanted to upgrade to LED then you would require replacing your entire pool and spa light fixtures. The Pentair Intellibrite LED Pool & Spa Lights would be the direct LED replacement for the SAM lights. Here we have a great Guide With Video on How to Replace a Pool Light Fixture. If you would just like to replace your current SAM light MR16 bulbs then we carry the Pentair SAM Light Bulbs as well as all of The Replacement Parts For The Pentair SAM Light.
