Help me identify this light

[kelemvor]

It may very well be, I'd have to drain off a large amount of water to find out, and I'm still hoping this magic man from the pool company can conjure up a bulb.

I suppose a side benefit would be the drain would reduce my tds a bit, right?

Looks like I'm not going to get anything out of the pool store. I'm guessing it might be one of two fairly expensive sta rite bulbs so I don't want to risk ordering them just to find out I'm wrong.

Anyone know of a reputable pool guy in the Pinellas county, Florida area that could put in a new light for me?

Sorry, but posting the name of people isn't allowed on the forum. Somebody can send you a PM with a suggestion if they want but not post it in a thread. Hope you understand.

I don't know much about pool lights, but I can help view the image in one screen. I use a plug-in for Firefox called Image Zoom. ( h††ps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/139/ ) With it installed, you can right-click on the photo, select Image Zoom, and image fit - that makes the pic fit in the window.

The more you know.

I gave up on identifying the proper bulb(s) and I'm no longer in a position to drop 500 or so for a light so I decided to put my college education to use (since my day job doesn't make use of electronics repair at all).

I soldered some 12v 50w g 6.35 landscape bulbs onto the two 12v pairs and insulated with some good heatshrink. The socket its-self is still waterproof, and even if it were to leak - everything is properly grounded and on GFCI.

It's not quite as bright as I wanted and it'll be a pain to replace bulbs like that so I found some gy6.35 sockets online for about $2 each and some 100w 12v gy6.35 bulbs for about $1 each. Should be just about perfect once I replace those except I can't find any 100w halogen bulbs with a color temp above 3000k (I'd like to use around 6000). Maybe I'll go with one of those LED setups in the future...

Funny, the pool store charged me almost 80 bucks for 2 100w 12v bipin bulbs... $1 each lol. Glad I returned them.

If anyone has any info on where I could find some cooler bulbs, please let me know.
