One Intelligent System.
Complete Pool & Spa Lighting Control.

Intekit Plus connects compatible pool lights, spa lights and smart controls in one unified ecosystem—giving you convenient control, synchronized lighting and personalized ambiance.

Built as a System

The controller and compatible lights are designed to work together as one connected pool and spa lighting ecosystem.

Flexible Control

Control compatible lighting through the app, supported voice assistants, remote control or wall-mounted panel.

Synchronized Lighting

Coordinate compatible pool and spa lights to create a consistent, immersive lighting experience throughout your outdoor space.

Smart Lighting Designed for the Underwater Environment

Ordinary smart bulbs rely on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Zigbee signals reaching the bulb directly. Inside a metal fixture and below the waterline, those signals may be weakened or blocked.

Intekit Plus uses a system-based approach. The compatible controller communicates with Intekit Plus bulbs through the supported electrical system, so each underwater bulb does not require a direct Wi-Fi connection.

No Direct Wi-Fi at the Bulb Controller-Based Communication Designed for Underwater Lighting Synchronized Control
