Astralpool Halo Lite

The Halo Lite2 controls two lights and the Halo Lite4 controls four, each delivering 12V AC output at a maximum of 1.3 Amps per light. Choose based on how many lights you have now and whether you are likely to add any. Most standard Auckland residential pools run one or two lights, while larger pools and pools with feature lighting often justify the four channel unit.

It is compatible with any single colour light brand, plus multi colour lights from AstralPool (SLX and FLX), Zodiac and Spa Electrics. That covers the majority of lights installed on Auckland pools. If you are unsure what you have, send us a photo of the light and the transformer and we will confirm compatibility before you order.

That is exactly what it is designed for. Halo Lite is an easy retrofit to existing pool lights, which makes it a cost effective way to add proper colour and scene control without the expense and disruption of replacing lights and conduit. Retrofit is usually a short job.

Halo Lite uses Bluetooth control from your device when you are near the pool. It is designed to be simple: select a colour or a scene, set it and forget it. If you want control from anywhere rather than poolside, look at the wider Halo system, which adds Wi-Fi. We can quote either.

Yes. Any device wired into your pool's electrical system needs a registered electrician under New Zealand rules. Sparkling Pools has a qualified electrician on the team, so the install, the wiring and the setup are all handled by us in a single visit.

That is the maximum current the controller supplies to each light channel. Most LED pool lights sit comfortably within it. If you have older or higher draw lights, the load needs checking first, which we do as part of the quote so there are no surprises.

Yes. Halo Lite is part of the wider AstralPool Halo family, which includes chlorination, dosing and expansion modules. Starting with lighting and adding chemistry or automation later is a sensible way to spread the investment, and the system is designed for it.

LED pool lights typically give many years of service, though performance depends on water balance, seal condition and how often the light is run out of water. If your lights are dimming, flickering or showing colour drift, that is usually the light rather than the controller, and worth having assessed before you invest in control.

The AstralPool Halo Lite is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, with duration and terms set by AstralPool and full details available at astralpool.co.nz. Your purchase is also covered by the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act. If anything is not right, contact Sparkling Pools on 09 570 4797 or info@sparklingpools.co.nz.

Compatibility is the whole question with a retrofit light controller, and getting it wrong means returning hardware and rebooking a job. We check what lights you actually have before we order anything, we install it legally with a qualified electrician, and we have been looking after Auckland pools since 1992.
