SloanLED Skirt Light [5/8" Hole, 36" Cable] (701787)

The SloanLED Skirt Light [5/8" Hole, 36" Cable] (manufacturer part 701787) is a purpose-selected replacement or equipment component for compatible pool, spa or aquatic installations. Its specific construction and application help technicians and owners maintain the intended equipment arrangement instead of making an uncertain substitution based only on appearance. When planning a repair, identifying the exact installed assembly is as important as identifying the replacement part itself.

Light placement and visual effect

Spa accent lighting works best when the light engine, cable routing, control method and intended illumination area are considered together. A main spa light provides a different experience from perimeter or skirt lighting: perimeter modules outline contours, while skirt lights help define the cabinet after dark. This replacement belongs to a specific SloanLED lighting architecture, so the size of the light alone is not enough to establish compatibility.

A skirt light serves the spa cabinet rather than the underwater main-light opening, so verify the mounting hole and cable reach before drilling or changing cabinet panels.

Installation, Compatibility & Care

Plan the installation around the exact factory cable and connector arrangement. Daisy-chain systems depend on matching connectors, compatible power delivery and the correct control generation; combining unrelated lights or power supplies can produce inconsistent operation or damage. Inspect existing wiring for moisture, brittle insulation and damaged connectors before fitting a replacement.

A correct replacement also protects the time invested in diagnosing and servicing the surrounding equipment. The best results come from comparing the old part with its service diagram, planning required accessories before disassembly, and checking the restored system under normal operating conditions. Where the equipment is part of a pressurized, submerged or electrically powered installation, follow the manufacturer’s shutdown, isolation and recommissioning procedures; a physically fitting component is not automatically approved for every application.

Practical Features & Service Considerations

• Lighting location: establish whether the part illuminates the water, cabinet, or perimeter rather than assuming similar lights can be swapped.
• Controller matching: verify the existing SloanLED system generation and whether its effects are managed locally or centrally.
• Cable routing: measure reach and allow a service loop without pulling on the electrical connector.
• Replacement planning: inspect neighboring lights and harnesses for water intrusion before diagnosing a failed module.
• Power requirements: match the specified voltage and approved power supply; visual similarity is not electrical interchangeability.
• System scope: this listing describes the stated component, not a complete spa lighting conversion kit.

Before ordering: Compare the original equipment label and service diagram with 701787. Verify any accessories or consumable hardware needed for the job; this product should not be mistaken for an entire system unless the listing expressly identifies a complete system.
