When replacing the programmable LED lights, the goal is to match the light output rather than just the wattage. Look for an LED equivalent that produces 400 to 500 lumens while drawing only 5 to 7 watts of power. That range gives you the same bright, even illumination without adding heat or straining your feature's power supply.
Because these are RGB multi-color lights, color temperature isn't really a factor. The color is programmable and adjustable through the remote, so you're not locked into a single warm or cool tone. For an RGB replacement, matching the lumens and wattage above, along with the dimmability, is all you really need to focus on.
Color temperature only comes into play if you're going a different direction and want a standard, single-color bulb that doesn't change colors. In that case, the "warmth" of the light matters: for a natural stone feature, a warmer temperature in the 2700K–3000K range complements the stone with a soft, inviting glow, while clear glass, mirror, or similar surfaces often look crisp and striking with a cooler, brighter tone.
Dimmability: Check whether your water feature has a built-in dimmer. Some of our features include one and some don't, so if you'd like the ability to adjust brightness, be sure to select LEDs that are labeled dimmable and are compatible with your setup.
Bulb base style: Be sure to check the base style your feature requires. Starting in early 2020, all of our water features use the GU10 base. Before that, some features used the GU10 base while others used the PAR20 style, so depending on when your feature was made, you'll want to confirm which one you have before ordering.
