Made from rugged ABS plastic and molded with a built-in grounding strap, this adapter ring fits many older metal or hand-formed niches (roughly 9-¾\" to 12\" inside diameter) and expands them to accept common pool lights from major manufacturers. With a 10-7\/8\" inside diameter and 12-5\/8\" outside diameter, the 500P simplifies installation: remove the old fixture, insert the ring, tighten the retaining screws, and mount your new light — often in a matter of minutes. It supports lights such as Pentair AmerLite, Hayward AstroLite \/ ColorLogic \/ CrystaLogic, Jandy CP-Series lights, and others from Purex, PacFab, or Wade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"906\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1860\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1100\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"1100\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"928\"\u003eUniversal Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts metal or hand-formed niches from ~9.75\" to 12\" inner diameter, making it ideal for retrofit or repair of obsolete fixtures.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1132\"\u003eDurable ABS Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rugged plastic build resists corrosion and water exposure while remaining lightweight for easier handling and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1484\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1321\"\u003eEasy Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs in minutes — remove the old light, place the adapter ring, tighten the included screws, then mount the new light.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1516\"\u003eWide Light Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports popular light models from Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Purex, PacFab, and more — making light upgrades possible without reworking the niche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1860\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1860\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1734\"\u003eBuilt-in Grounding Strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded grounding strap enhances safety and electrical compliance during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"372\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"373\" data-end=\"806\"\u003eThe Aladdin Universal Plastic Light Ring Adapter 500P offers a simple way to retrofit older pool light niches, and this section answers common questions walk-in customers often ask at Discount Pool Mart. These details cover compatibility, installation steps, troubleshooting, and what to check before visiting your local store. The guidance below helps ensure that the 500P fits properly and installs securely in your existing niche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"808\" data-end=\"836\"\u003eCompatibility and Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003eUnderstanding whether the Aladdin 500P fits your older or irregular niche opening is the most common concern. This section explains how to verify dimensions, how the ring interfaces with major brands, and what to check before bringing photos to the store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003eHow do I know if the Aladdin 500P adapter fits my existing pool light niche?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003eThe Aladdin Universal Plastic Light Ring Adapter 500P works with niches measuring roughly nine and three quarter inches to twelve inches wide. If your niche falls within that range, the ring expands the opening to accept modern lights. Measuring the inside diameter of your niche with a tape measure is the best way to confirm fit. Many Discount Pool Mart customers bring a photo for quick verification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1652\"\u003eWill the Aladdin 500P work with Pentair, Hayward, or Jandy lights?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1653\" data-end=\"2008\"\u003eYes, the 500P is designed to accept popular lights from Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Purex, PacFab, and Wade. Its standardized mounting diameter provides a stable platform for modern fixtures. As long as the light you are installing uses typical mounting hardware, it should align properly. Bringing the old light or bezel to the store helps confirm matchups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2077\"\u003eCan the 500P help restore older metal niches that have warped?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2078\" data-end=\"2419\"\u003eIn many cases, yes. The Aladdin 500P provides a rigid ABS ring that can compensate for mild irregularities in older hand-formed or metal niches. If the niche is slightly out of round, the adapter helps reestablish a consistent mounting surface. Extremely distorted niches may still need repair, but most customers see a dramatic improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2446\"\u003eInstallation and Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2447\" data-end=\"2678\"\u003eInstalling the Aladdin 500P is straightforward, but checking a few details ahead of time helps ensure a smooth upgrade. This section covers installation steps, sealing tips, and how the grounding strap integrates with your fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2680\" data-end=\"2747\"\u003eHow do I install the Aladdin 500P adapter into an older niche?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2748\" data-end=\"3083\"\u003eThe installation process is simple: insert the adapter into the niche, tighten the securing screws, and mount the new light. The ABS ring creates a uniform opening sized for modern fixtures. Ensure the ring seats evenly against the niche walls before tightening hardware. Most in-store customers complete the retrofit in under an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"3085\" data-end=\"3138\"\u003eDo I need sealant when installing the 500P ring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3139\" data-end=\"3459\"\u003eSealant is not always required, but many installers prefer applying a thin bead around older or uneven niches. The ABS material provides a stable backing surface, so only minor sealing is needed if the niche is pitted or irregular. Discount Pool Mart staff can recommend sealants commonly used for this type of retrofit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"3461\" data-end=\"3521\"\u003eHow does the grounding strap on the 500P get connected?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3522\" data-end=\"3817\"\u003eThe molded grounding strap provides a connection point for the fixture’s bonding system. When you mount the new light, ensure the strap aligns with the bonding screw or grounding tab. A clean, secure bond supports electrical safety and is a common checkpoint before leaving the store with parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3819\" data-end=\"3856\"\u003eIn-Store Pickup and Local Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3857\" data-end=\"4057\"\u003eFor many customers, confirming the right fit and installation steps is easier with in-person support. This section outlines what to know before picking up the adapter at your local Discount Pool Mart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"4059\" data-end=\"4132\"\u003eCan I pick up the Aladdin 500P at my local Discount Pool Mart today?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4133\" data-end=\"4393\"\u003eThis item is often available locally, and customers frequently pick it up the same day. Checking stock before heading in helps ensure availability. If you are replacing an older niche, bringing the old light or photos makes the visit quicker and more accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"4395\" data-end=\"4466\"\u003eWhat should I bring to the store to verify the 500P fits my niche?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4467\" data-end=\"4736\"\u003ePhotos of the niche, the old fixture, and any labels or markings help ensure you leave with the right adapter. Walk-in customers often bring their previous light, which allows staff to compare mounting points. Anything that shows the niche diameter or shape is helpful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"4738\" data-end=\"4818\"\u003eDo in-store customers usually need additional parts along with the adapter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4819\" data-end=\"5097\"\u003eDepending on the niche condition, some customers also pick up sealant, stainless screws, or gaskets. Discount Pool Mart staff can quickly look at your photos and advise if extra components are recommended. This prevents multiple trips and ensures a clean, reliable installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aladdin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50998105637152,"sku":"500P","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/3326\/9536\/files\/500PAladdinUniversalPlasticLightRingAdapterDiscountPoolMart_4.jpg?v=1766078390","url":"https:\/\/discountpoolmart.com\/products\/500p-aladdin-universal-plastic-light-ring-adapter","provider":"Discount Pool Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
