So I need tor replace a StaRite Sunbrite Pool light. I assume that it is in a StaRite niche, although I don't know that for sure. The trouble is that StaRite no longer makes these lights. What else can I use? Can I use a Pentair IntelliBrite or Hayward ColorLogic? What about a standard Pentair Amerilite? I have been warned that the Amerilite may be too long front to back to fit in the niche. Does anyone have experience with this?

I can talk for the Hayward solutions. Hayward has just released the Universal ColoLogic and Universal CrystaLogic, 12V Color and Whte LED lights,that are UL listed and both fit the Sta-Rite niche as well as most other manufactures niches. We have tested it in more than 20 niche, dating back 50 years, there are only a few that we have found that it cannot fit in. You can get more information on these products on the Hayward website.

im away from a pentair catalog, but im pretty sure i was able to use the same niche for an intellibrite 5G last summer. But if youre wanting an incandescent fixture...hmmm. i think the jandy units are shallow, not real certain about that though, Clint.

I answered my own question yesterday. I pulled out the old light and temporarily put in an old water filled Pentair Amerlite with no cord that I had in my recycle pile. It fit, so at that point (and before I pulled a new light cord through) I knew that I could use either an Amerlite or IntelliBrite.
