The Retro R8 is the only light for 8” Niches you will ever need, there’s no need for expensive repair work as Retro R8’s Universal Adaptor doesn’t rely on intact niche mounting hooks or screws for a successful installation. The patented CAM-LOCKS grip the niche wall as they’re fitted, pulling the Retro R8 Light and existing niche together for a secure, even fit.

If the existing niche mounting hooks and screws are intact, Retro R8 supports standard installation via the HOOK TAB at the base and the front-facing screw at the top. The HOOK TAB at the base adjusts to suit all major brand niche tabs, without the need for extra washers or spacers. Say goodbye to changing cables with Retro R8’s Quick Connect Plug. Connecting to the existing pool light cable in the niche, the UL Listed Quick Connect Plug ensures fast and reliable installation while also enabling easier future servicing in the field.

Retro R8 is the brightest LED retrofit on the market with over 3000-lumen output. The unique water-cooled design harnesses the full cooling potential of your pool to maximize performance and extend product life. Retain the brilliance of a 300W halogen, while improving the look and safety of your pool with the Retro R8.
