Installed it and working as good as the $1,000 model. They are all low 12 voltage. I can replace this $72.00 light every two years for a long time before I spend the $1,000 a Hayward light costs.
Im a DIYer to but be very careful doing this as the light is $1,000 for a reason. Mixing water with spliced electrical wiring, etc can lead to dangerous consequences with no room for error. Google the recent hot tub fatality this summer of a vacationer in Mexico.
