    Color Splash 3G 375 bucks..

    anyone have any experience with any of these and pros/cons of each? currently just have 1 standard pool light and use the cheap plastic colored covers..want to know if any of these are noticeably brighter than the standard light.
    I have the Hayward Colorlogic 2.5 LED (120 volt for IG) system installed in both pool and spa, the latter fixture is smaller in diameter and fully lights up the crescent-moon shaped 7' diameter spa.

    On the pool side, I don't think the light (lumens) coming from a single installation is as bright as a 500 watt halogen/incandescent but it is diffused in a more pleasing way and doesn't blind swimmers - there's no deer in the headlights effect.

    Despite wording on the sales brochure that might indicate otherwise, it is not programmable. Sure, you can cycle through 4 or 5 basic colors plus another 10 or 12 pre-programmed "light shows" -- e.g. red, white and blue, a bunch of different colors quickly... or slowly; but you can't just set it to very light purple or chartreuse or reddish-orange. Pity. And since brightness is usually a plus during swimming, I mostly use white. The newer 4.0 version may provide more options.
