I'm in the same predicament, need a new light, already decided to go to LED, now the question is Hayward or Pentair? Or are there other choices? Most of the reviews I've seen knock the Hayward pretty bad for not lasting and not having factory support, but I realize that typically reviews aren't representative because people who are happy with a product are far less likely to bother posting about it. If I do go Hayward, as my pool guy is pushing, would it be 2.5 or 4.0? I cannot determine the difference (either way it will be 120v).
Thanks in advance,
