The stainless steel trim is required when the existing niche uses a metal trim ring connected to the equipotential bonding grid, or when the pool design specifies metal hardware throughout. Any cord beyond the conduit run coils inside the niche behind the fixture, stored permanently and available to pull the fixture out to the pool deck during future service without disconnecting at the junction box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eStainless Steel Trim vs. Thermoplastic Trim: Choosing the Right Trim for Your Niche\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eStainless trim is the correct choice when the existing niche uses a metal trim ring connected to the bonding grid, when the design specifies metal for aesthetic continuity with other pool hardware, or in saltwater or coastal environments where material consistency matters. Thermoplastic trim is non-conductive and appropriate when the niche does not route bonding through the trim ring, and costs less. If uncertain about which applies to your niche, the installing licensed electrician's assessment is the authoritative guide before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward AstroLite 500W Stainless Steel Trim 100-Foot Cord Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"spec-list\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eW3SP0583SL100\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eLight Type\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eIncandescent main pool light\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eWattage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e500W\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e120V (dedicated GFCI-protected circuit required)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCord Length\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e100 feet\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eTrim Material\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eMachine-polished stainless steel; corrosion-resistant, bonding-compatible\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eBonding Compatibility\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eStainless trim accepts bonding conductor connection at niche\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eRelamping\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eE-Z Lock clamp and reflector assembly; replace gasket at every lens opening\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eLens Accessory\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eLight blue lens available separately (SP0580LLB)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eColor Capability\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eSingle fixed color; no multi-color or color-changing capability\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCompatible Niches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eSP0600U\/SP0600 DuraNiche (concrete); SP0607U\/SP0607 DuraNiche (vinyl\/fiberglass); SP0604C\/SP0609C stainless niche (concrete)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eNiche Included\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eNo; confirm niche size and trim ring compatibility before ordering\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCertifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eUL Listed for fresh water (Guide No. WBDT, File No. E39338); 100% tested\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eLamp Note\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eHayward no longer ships 100W or 300W lamps with AstroLite fixtures per DOE ruling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e1-year limited warranty (parts)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward AstroLite 500W Stainless Steel Trim 100-Foot Cord Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy would I need the 100-foot cord over the 50-foot version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOnly one reason: the conduit run from the niche to the junction box exceeds 50 feet along the actual routed path. The fixture, trim ring, bulb output, and bonding compatibility are identical across cord lengths. Have the installing electrician pull a tape through the existing conduit before ordering. When the run is close to 50 feet, the 100-foot version eliminates the risk of arriving on installation day with a cord that cannot reach the junction box, since the cord cannot be extended after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the stainless trim ring include a bonding lug?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eConfirm with the installation guide and the installing electrician. Some stainless trim rings include a pre-drilled hole or lug for attaching the bonding conductor; others rely on the electrician to attach the bonding connection using an approved clamp or method. The specific bonding connection approach must comply with the local code interpretation of NEC Article 680 requirements for underwater pool lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhich niches is this fixture compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe AstroLite mounts in specific Hayward DuraNiche housings: SP0600U\/SP0600 for concrete pools, SP0607U\/SP0607 for vinyl and fiberglass pools, and SP0604C\/SP0609C stainless steel niches for concrete. Note that SP0600 and SP0607 niches are no longer manufactured; confirm your existing niche model before ordering if it is an older installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eIs the niche included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. The AstroLite is sold without the niche. If reusing an existing niche, confirm its model and that the trim ring dimensions are compatible with this fixture before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eShould I upgrade to an LED instead of replacing with another AstroLite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIf the pool light runs several nights per week, the 500W operating cost becomes a meaningful annual electricity expense compared to a comparable LED fixture. An LED replacement at 120V in the same niche type also eliminates recurring bulb replacement for its rated service life and adds color-changing capability. The AstroLite remains the right choice when upfront cost, incandescent light quality preference, or niche compatibility uncertainty favor a direct like-for-like replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"doc-links\" role=\"complementary\" aria-label=\"Hayward AstroLite 500W Stainless Steel Trim 100-Foot Cord Manual and Warranty Info\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eHayward AstroLite 500W Stainless Steel Trim 100-Foot Cord Manual and Warranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-astrolite-500w-stainless-100ft-installation-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eInstallation Guide \u0026amp; Conduit Run Instructions (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-astrolite-500w-stainless-100ft-bulb-gasket-service.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBulb Replacement \u0026amp; Lens Gasket Service Guide (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-astrolite-500w-stainless-100ft-parts-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eIllustrated Parts Diagram \u0026amp; Bonding Connection Reference (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n  {\n    \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n    \"@type\": \"Product\",\n    \"name\": \"Hayward AstroLite 500W Incandescent Pool Light 120V 100 Foot Cord Stainless Steel Trim\",\n    \"brand\": { \"@type\": \"Brand\", \"name\": \"Hayward\" },\n    \"model\": \"AstroLite\",\n    \"description\": \"120V incandescent main pool lighting fixture for inground pools.
