Why Nicheless Beats Old Niches in 2025

Replacement Checklist

  1. Confirm thread type (NPT/BSP) or choose adapter kit.

  2. Verify transformer capacity: total watts × 1.3 headroom (e.g., 4×9W=36W → ≥50W).

  3. Select beam and color: RGB for ambiance, white for visibility, warm white for comfort.

  4. Plan cable runs to minimize voltage drop; pick suitable gauge for length.

  5. Test lights in shallow water before final fix; set scenes and grouping in the app.
