Description
Overview
The Retro R6 LED pool light kit by Spa Electrics is a universal retrofit solution designed to replace existing 6″ pool lights from major brands including Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, and Jacuzzi.
Engineered for fast installation and maximum compatibility, the Retro R6 connects directly to your existing light cable using a quick-connect plug—eliminating the need to pull new wires or drain the pool. Built with advanced Multi Plus RGB+W LED technology, it delivers bright, consistent lighting with multiple colour options to transform your pool.

- Fully integrated LED light assembly

👉 Result: faster installs, fewer failure points, and longer-lasting performance
