Replacing Fiber Optic lights with LED?

Hi all,

Has anyone replaced their in-ground pools fiber optic lighting with the LED's now available? My pool has 3 round lights fitted in the standard 1 1/2" return type fittings. The housings have not aged well and the light tower is noisy and unreliable. I came across some LED's that supposedly fit in those same fittings that are simply wired to a 12V control unit/transformer.

Would love to know if anyone has had experience with these small LED's before I retrofit.. they are *very* expensive, but not all that more pricey than the fiber set up was..

I also am thinking of "pirating" one of the ports to use as a polaris 280 port (Kreepy Krauly must go) so any reports on brightness compared to fiber system would be great to hear about too.

Thanks in advance!

Ray
