In-ground pool color lights - which brand is better?

Are the color lights more efficient than the standard bulbs?

They can be sinked together or run separately. However, I chose to have them separated out on the board (Jandy PS-8) controller. As for the number of lights, I have 2 lights in the pool and 1 in the spa. How funny that you say you dislike the red. Red is my favorite but that is the only color that does not stay on as long as other colors as it goes through the fade series. Thanks for the comments.

LED lights use a lot less electricity than a standard light. The other color lights (like the SAM) use about the same amount (300 watts for a standard bulb and a negligible amount to run the color wheel)

Excellent, I just have the standard hayward remote, so I can only sync mine... although they did go out of sync once. I think since I have a dark liner the red is very dim and just looks kinda red/muddy and swimming in red reminds me of some sort of horror movie :eek:

I like the blue/green and sangria.

I think LED's have a much longer lifespan too.
