Hayward ColorLogic 4.0 LED Pool Light: 50-Foot Cord with Stainless Steel Trim for Standard-Run Installations
The 50-foot cord version is the right specification when the conduit route from the light niche to the junction box measures 50 feet or less along the actual routed path, not a straight-line estimate. Measure routed conduit distance before ordering: the cord cannot be extended after installation without violating NEC requirements. If the run is confidently below 45 feet, the 50-foot version is a solid choice. If it is close to 50 feet, the 100-foot version eliminates installation-day risk and any excess stores in the niche with no effect on performance.
Stainless vs. Plastic Trim: When Stainless Is the Right Specification
Stainless trim is appropriate when the existing niche uses a metal trim ring connected to the equipotential bonding grid, when the pool design specifies metal hardware throughout, or in saltwater and coastal environments. The plastic trim version delivers identical lighting output if none of these factors apply. Both deliver 5 fixed colors, 7 shows, 90W draw, and the same power line synchronization capability.

Hayward ColorLogic 4.0 Stainless Steel Trim 50-Foot Cord Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm the 50-foot cord is long enough before ordering?
Have the installing electrician pull a steel tape through the existing conduit from the niche to the junction box. That gives the true routed length. If direct measurement is not possible, estimate by adding the horizontal distance from the niche to the pool edge, the deck crossing to the equipment pad, underground vertical drops, and internal cabinet routing, then add 5 to 8 feet for bends. If the total is confidently below 45 feet, the 50-foot cord is appropriate. If it is close to 50 feet, order the 100-foot version to eliminate installation-day risk.
What happens if the 50-foot cord does not reach the junction box?
The cord cannot be spliced or extended without violating NEC requirements for pool lighting. The fixture would need to be exchanged for the 100-foot stainless trim version. Measuring the conduit before ordering avoids this entirely.
The original copy listed 16 colors. Is that correct?
No. The ColorLogic 4.0 delivers 5 fixed colors and 7 color-changing shows via switch cycling. The 101-color capability required ProLogic automation integration, which Hayward has since discontinued. Existing ProLogic users retain that expanded palette; new buyers needing more than 5 fixed colors should look at Hayward's Universal ColorLogic line.
Does warranty require professional installation?
Yes. Proof of installation by a certified technician is required to validate the factory warranty. DIY installation also risks NEC Article 680 compliance issues.
Does the stainless trim ring require a bonding conductor connection?
That depends on the original installation. If the existing fixture had a bonding conductor connected to its metal trim ring, the electrician will need to connect that conductor to the new stainless trim ring. Confirm with a licensed pool electrician before proceeding.
