Identify the Exact Model
Read the label on the light assembly. “Amerlite” or “784” is more useful than the Pentair brand name alone.

A “Pentair Pool Light Bulb” Can Mean More Than One Product
Pentair offers several pool-light families, and not every fixture accepts a replaceable E26 bulb. Intekit Plus is intended only for select compatible bulb-style fixtures—not sealed LED fixtures or every product carrying the Pentair name.
Verify 120V AC
This Intekit Plus bulb is the 120V version. Never install it in a 12V fixture or mix 12V and 120V system components.
Confirm Space and Socket
Verify an E26 medium-base socket and measure the usable interior cavity before purchasing.
Beyond a Basic LED Replacement
Turn a Compatible Amerlite Fixture into a Smarter Lighting System
A basic replacement bulb changes the light source. Intekit Plus upgrades the way you use the entire pool—with precise color, white-light, scene and scheduling control through the compatible Intekit Plus controller.

Amerlite 784 Compatibility Checklist
Check These Four Items Before You Order
Pentair’s published information includes 120V Amerlite 784 configurations using a medium-base floodlamp. Model families can still contain different voltages, wattages, revisions and internal conditions.
1. Exact fixture identificationConfirm that the label identifies a compatible Amerlite 784 Series bulb-style fixture.
2. 120V AC ratingConfirm 120V on the fixture label or have a qualified professional verify the circuit.
3. E26 medium-base socketConfirm a screw-in medium-base lamp holder. Do not use with sealed, integrated LED fixtures.
4. Available internal clearanceIntekit Plus Pool Bulb size: 6 3/4 in. diameter × 5 1/2 in. height. Measure usable space.
Important: Compatibility cannot be determined from the words
“Pentair pool light” alone. Do not rely only on the outside lens diameter.
Verify the exact fixture model, voltage, socket and usable internal space.
The Intekit Plus System
Why the Compatible Controller Is Required
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and similar wireless signals can be weakened by water and metal housings. The Intekit Plus controller sends commands to compatible bulbs through the electrical connection, so the submerged bulb does not need to receive a direct wireless signal.
