Map the family before you open the niche

Registry-backed lighting families in scope: Pentair: Pentair IntelliBrite, Pentair MicroBrite, Pentair GloBrite, Pentair MagicStream, and Pentair IntelliVibe; Hayward: Hayward ColorLogic 320; Jandy: Jandy Infinite WaterColors. If the model does not land in one of these families, treat it as generic lighting guidance and open the manual archive first.

Archive first, then troubleshoot

Use the archived fixture or controller manual before you replace LEDs, pair controllers, or change lighting scenes.

1

Identify the fixture and control path

CURRENT STEP

Lighting families split by fixture style, controller, and variant, so the exact label matters before you touch anything.

2

Choose the exact variant before replacement

Variant choice matters for lenses, niches, controllers, and sealed assemblies.

3

Treat lighting as a wet electrical boundary

The owner can inspect and document, not improvise around water-adjacent wiring.

CAUTIONS
  • → Do not open compromised wet enclosures or continue using a light that shows shock, heat, or water intrusion.
4

Keep automation and scene logic documented

Some lighting systems are part of a larger controller or scene logic.
