As experts in designing, manufacturing, marketing, and distributing these types of bulbs, we have valuable insights into why the prices can vary so much. While we would love for you to choose our bulbs, this article aims to provide an honest evaluation from our perspective.

Scenario 1: Inquiring with Local Maintenance Personnel

One common way consumers research upgrading their pool lights to color LED is by asking the person who regularly maintains or repairs their pool. This could be the person who comes weekly to clean and add chemicals to your pool, or if you do it yourself, the person who handles important items like plumbing, pumps, heaters, or filters.

Depending on your local professional, they may either not be aware that you can convert your existing light to color LED, or they may be inclined to sell you an entirely new fixture costing $600 or more. They might not even know that you can simply replace the bulb. No matter the case, they will see dollar signs when you mention upgrading. So, be cautious about going down that route, as you will be fortunate to have an LED light installed for less than $1000.

Scenario 2: Local Pool Stores

Large pool chains may carry bulbs, but they could cost over $200. Smaller chains may not have them at all. There is actually only one company with significant penetration within the retail chain. I won't mention their name, but if you visit their store, you have probably seen their bulbs, and the price they offer may give you sticker shock. It costs a lot of money to have salespeople go to all the different pool stores, and that cost needs to be covered by the bulb price. So, you are not paying for a better bulb, you are paying for expensive overhead and many mouths being fed with every bulb sold.

Scenario 3: Online Purchases

The cheapest bulbs are always found on the largest e-commerce websites. However, if you look closely, they probably only offer returns or refunds for 60 days. They may claim to offer 1-year warranties, but trying to actually get it is almost impossible. While there are a few good pool bulbs that can be found online, none of them are the cheap ones. To sell a cheap bulb on those websites, you have to save on every component inside the bulb. Most bulbs have at least 30 separate parts that go into them, from computer chips, PCB boards, LEDs, housing, etc. There are 30 parts that can be found cheaper elsewhere. And to be the supplier with the lowest cost, you cut corners on each of those 30 parts. In other words, you get what you pay for. Most of them won't last longer than one pool season.

At Florida Sunseeker, we don't skimp on components and offer a genuine 1-year warranty. Our bulbs are designed to last 5-10 years. Most bulbs last until the sealed packaging on your light bar bursts and the internal circuitry gets wet. We hope you find this information valuable and consider our offerings.

If installed correctly, they can provide the perfect amount of light to any room, whether you’re installing them in a living room, restaurant, office, or bathroom. Recessed lighting adds a touch of sophistication and style to any room.

The installation process is something that is much more construction-based rather than electrical. The planning process is extremely important and although the tools needed for the installation are very basic, it is more difficult to install recessed lights than traditional types of ceiling lights.
