I have two that are doing the strobe thing. 1 right after the other.

Complete junk! Avoid Hayward Color Logic lights.

greg,
you do not have to drain pool to replace. On the outer trim ring there is a phillips head screw on the top facing the pool. Unscrew and lift light assembly up out of the water and place on deck. Make sure power supply is off at breaker before proceeding. Next,disconnect wire from breaker and tie/tape some heavy duty string to light wire at breaker box. Have enough string to reach where light is in pool (50’/100’etc;). Have someone in pool and someone at breaker feeding wire/string to the person in pool as he is pulling wire through light niche. After pulling through until string reaches pool, attach string to new cord and have guy at breaker pull until cord reaches him. Leave enough wire in pool that allows you to pull light up out of the water and wrap excess around light housing. Place new light in niche making sure to align bottom of light first(there is a little nodule that hooks over lip in niche), then screw in phillips in trim ring. Voila….Hope this helps

Have 2 colorlogic 2.5 since October 2006, now 1 is dead. 3.5 yrs is not good service @ $599/unit. Fancy unit ,but not servicable and too expensive. Already replace the other under warranty 3 months after installation. should have insisted to replace both, since modifications were done to the replacement because of flaws in the original. Bad,bad bad,bad. Can someone suggest a good solution.

Pool light just died after being in use only 4 years E-mailed Hayward and got the reply of one year warranty – sorry. Cannot recommend this light. If you calculate the cost versus energy savings, if any, the cost easily outweighs any potential energy savings. I hope to find out that I can put another light in the Hayward Niche as I would like to stay as far away from Hayward as possible. Anybody know if that can be done?

Same here. I have two colorlogic 2.5 lights in my pool and one has quit after 3 years and probably 10hrs total in opperation. Now I have to decide if I want to risk it again or buy two totally different units. Stay away from these.

My pool light lasted about 4 summers and it too started flashing like a strobe.
Hayward ColorLogic is definitely a LEMON.
I am going to start researching to buy an alternative light for the pool.
Has anyone replaced theirs with something different?

Same here. Two year old pool with Hayward Color Logics [1 in pool and 1 in spa]and the spa fixture is flickering and tripping the GFI. Pool tech came out today and determined the spa Color Logic is bad. So much for long life LED lamps when the motherboard goes out before they do. I will be replacing with anything but Hayward!
