All of my Pentair Globrite Lights died within 4 years. How I converted from Globrite to Microbrite and the problems and tips I found along the way! Along the way a cord got stuck in conduit, so I had to use a cable puller to remove it, and fish tape to run the new cord.

How To Keep Chickens Cool In The Summer
My pool installers added a sealant (Caulk?) in the conduit exit on the supply end. Stupid! I first had to clean that out before the cable would move. I could reach down the 3/4 conduit with a screw driver and dig. I have the Jandy version. They over heat, last about 4 years. Trying to build my own.
Nice video. I'm curious if putting the mule tape around your cable like a chinese finger trap and taping it on would have been better.
You saved me from having an actual meltdown, thank you so much 😅
Did you replace with the same microbrite ? Is there a alternative light that will last longer?
@@piercecommercial4562 the originals were Globrite. I replaced with Microbrite, but they are a newer model and there isn’t enough data / time to know if they last longer, unfortunately
@@cakesnifferacres6629 thank you for the quick reply. Yes, mines are micro bright, and they only lasted three years
Made it quick and simple. Thanks
Thank you so much you just taught my son how to string a weed eater ! !!
Thank you sir😊
Worked very well!!! Much easier than other methods. Thank you. 🎉
What an absolute nightmare.
Yesssss!!! My son showed me how to do the impossible way last year, and today, searching brought me to your video and bing bang boom I’m ready to go!!! Many many thanks from this follow the directions impaired mom!!!
There’s no need to insert mule tape all the way through the conduit. Before you’ve loosened the old light out of the fixture, attach a short length of mule rape, or rope, back at the wiring area. Then pull the old light into the pool about 2-3 feet. Cut the wire to the old light, and then splice the end of the new light’s wire into the old wire. Then using the old wire, pull the new wire through the conduit. This approach is much less likely to result in in the mule wire breaking
@@RickSiebenaler thanks for the advice! In my case the old wire was super stuck due to the way they ran the conduit. I had to reroute the conduit to pull it at all. Next time (I hope there isn’t a next time) I’ll keep this in mind!
I tried to get one of these things stringed for 2 days then I saw the video and it Worked
I had this revelation a little while back and bought an impact wrench for this and my lawnmower blade screw. So much easier to deal with!
From what I have read, microbrite has the same issues
Did the Microbrite+adapter solution fit as flush to the pool wall as the old Globrite light did? A pool guy told me this Microbrite solution will protrude a bit off the wall. True? Nice video.
@@jackg8234 it doesn’t seem to stick out to me. If it does, I wouldn’t say it’s noticeable
GOOD JOB
How do you feed more out?
These pentair globrite lights are the biggest disappointment of my entire pool build. Shame on me for not checking the brightness specs of these and taking the pool builders word that 2 of them would light my pool well. My cell iPhone flashlight seems brighter than these overpriced useless pieces of junk.
Feel like I've searched for this before but haven't come across this video until now. Very helpful. I will be using this method going forward. Great tutorial.
I hope Pentair @pentair is proud of producing such an inferior over priced product in the Globrite lights. I have two now to replace and my neighbor has replaced 5 out of 6.
Nice work ! Inspiring
OMFG! This is slick! After 12 years of restring with agony, I feel like a rockstar now. Recommend Echo Black Diamond .095” string
Quick question, why can we just change the light without the wiring ?
The lights and wires are all one assembly. The wires are “hardwired” to the light enclosure. They offer different wire length versions of the lights so you can purchase based on your lights’ distance from your pool equipment
This is helpful. Any times for lining up the o ring between the top and the bottom halves of the filter? This part of the process is so frustrating
The only thing I’ve found that helps with that is patience :)
Where did you buy the new lights and adapter from?
www.wholesalepoolequipment.com .. they were extremely helpful. Their customer service was excellent
*cheat code enabled* This video helped me
Excellent video, I admire your perseverance! I have to replace two Globrite lights after four years (a lot less of a run than yours). I'm getting mixed messages about the warranty. Some are saying that if you purchase the lights online and install them yourself, the warranty is much shorter than if purchase them through a professional and they do the installation. Do you know which many be correct? Thank you.
I believe the warranty requires “professional” installation, so doing so yourself may impact the warranty support
Thank you! :) This helped me today.
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video. It is very concise but still thorough.
Thank you sir you don't know how long I've been fighting this
Thanks Brian a lot. The only useful video I found for my trimmer.
What’s the difference between the microbrite vs globrite? Why change? I’m in the same situation.
Globrite is an older model, and has horrible reliability in the field. Microbrite is a newer model by Pentair, a little smaller, and seems to last longer. Brightness is about the same. Globrite has a proprietary niche that it fits in, while Microbrite is nicheless … ie it fits in the appropriately sized PVC, or can be retrofitted in the Globrite niche with an adapter (model number is covered in the video). Thanks!
Microbrite will work with Pentair automation systems just like the Globrite.
@@cakesnifferacres6629Pentair should have recalled the Globrite
I like it
