Hello, Steve. The part number for  R-400 BCL cross-references to the Pentair Amerlite Pool Light and the part number 98708400 cross-references to the American Products - SpaBrite & Aqualight. I best recommend verifying the voltage and watts on your current bulb or the casing of the fixture. You may find this link helpful as well.

I need to replace a light bulb in a 15 year old pool light. No label left on the light fixture. American Products Co is embossed on the approx. 8" diameter glass lens. The niche is part # 792067 (Pentair?). Circuit is 120V. Must the new bulb be exactly the same watts as the old one or could I just use a 400W bulb? I assume the gasket is the 8 1/2 inch version such as LPL-G-P or 3525-07? I love the details you give on your website! Thanks!

Hello Fred, from what the niche light it connects too there is only American Products - SpaBrite & Aqualight Parts that you can use which depending on volts/watts would work in your light.

Yes, do you have any candelabra bulbs for a pentair pool light?

At this time there are no LED's that will fit in a Candelabra based unit.

I need a new pool light. I removed the blub. On the inside the label reads 400 watts 120 volts R-40 bulb type. It also reads model 7884XX, 7844XX, 7894XX... could you please tell me which blub and casket I need

Hi, Joyce. This is the correct replacement bulb. You will also need the Lens Gasket - 79101600 (OEM) or 791016 (Generic).

Is this bulb the correct one for this housing. I don’t see you have a 300w version?

A  Answered on 3/16/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Garett. It is NOT, the correct bulb is P/N Q300T3C/120 along with the Amerlite Lens Gasket - O-170.

      Garett, The fixture label has T3 R7S as the bulb type, this 400W, 120V, R40 bulb can be used with your fixture.

Is this bulb a replacement bulb for Amerlite underwater light - I was looking for product # 79102200. a 400- watt r-40 medium base bulb. Also I believe the current bulb is fixture is punched saying bulb is a 500 -watt bulb, but the bulb I pulled out doesn't look like the 500 watt bulb on your site. The shape of the bulb I pulled out looks like this 400-watt bulb, using this in the fixture is Ok?

Does the light come with the lens gasket, if not where do I find it?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/1/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

Hi Graciano, these do not come with the lens gasket. Could you send us a few photos of the light fixture or the model number? To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation.

My pool light is at least 21 years old. I want to replace the bulb and gasket only. I do not want to transfer to LED at this time. What do I need to do to ensure I purchase the correct bulb and gasket? I am attaching a picture of the pool lights. One is for the pool and the other is for the spa. I only need one bulb as the spa light is still working. Thank you, Joanne

Hello Joanne.  It appears from the photo provided that the fixture is a Pentair Pool Products Light Fixture.  Please see the attached link to a Pentair Pool Products Light Fixture.  Amerlite 500W 120V 50' Pool Light - EC-602128   Please compare the design on the stainless steel light ring to the fixture installed in your pool for a match.  Seeking confirmation of the light manufacturer which will determine the correct lens gasket replacement.  Your fixture may have the manufacturer's label still attached.  The lens gasket 79101600-0-170 is the correct gasket for a Pentair Light Fixture.  Lens Gasket - 79101600 - O-170     How to Replace a Pool Light Bulb
