Powerful 20W LED with ultra-wide 120° beam angle delivering stunning RGBW colour-changing illumination for larger vinyl liner swimming pools.
💧 Product Overview
The Certikin PU3MLPL Large LED RGBW Light delivers powerful, wide-angle underwater illumination specifically engineered for vinyl liner swimming pools requiring maximum coverage. This premium 20W LED light features an impressive 120° lens angle that covers up to 20m² – more than double the coverage of mini LED lights – making it the ideal choice for larger pools or installations requiring fewer lights.
Featuring an elegant stainless steel fascia and robust 316-grade stainless steel housing with durable PC (polycarbonate) cover, the PU3MLPL delivers exceptional brightness of 2,000-2,300 lumens on white and 520-570 lumens on RGBW modes with a high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of Ra>85. The RGBW unit offers the flexibility to allow a choice of colours and shades, create programmable lighting sequences and to be dimmable.
The secure 1.5″ screw-fit installation threads directly into new or existing Certikin liner inlet fittings for a watertight seal, whilst the generous 20m pre-wired cable provides flexible positioning options. Controlled via the Wi-Fi 104 system with a free smartphone app for iOS and Android, you can select from virtually unlimited colour combinations, adjust brightness, and create stunning synchronised displays. Rated IP68 for permanent underwater immersion with an impressive 50,000-hour maximum lifespan, the PU3MLPL transforms any liner pool into a captivating aquatic environment operating reliably from -20°C to +50°C.

🔬 How It Works
The PU3MLPL utilises advanced RGBW LED technology combined with Wi-Fi connectivity to deliver stunning, powerful underwater lighting effects:
1️⃣ RGBW LED Technology The RGBW unit offers the flexibility to allow a choice of colours and shades, create programmable lighting sequences, and to be dimmable. Four LED colours (Red, Green, Blue, White) combine to create virtually unlimited colour combinations with powerful output reaching 2,000-2,300 lumens on white and 520-570 lumens on RGBW.
2️⃣ Ultra-Wide 120° Beam Angle The wide 120° lens angle provides expansive coverage of up to 20m² per light – ideal for larger pools or installations where fewer lights are needed. This is more than double the coverage of mini LED lights.
3️⃣ Wi-Fi 104 Control System RGBW lights are operated via the control unit and/or App provided with the Wi-Fi 104 unit. The free downloadable app (iOS and Android) provides full control over colour selection, brightness levels, and pre-programmed sequences.
4️⃣ R4-CC Driver Receiving Controller Each RGBW light requires its own R4-CC driver receiving controller (PU2MLRC), which interprets signals from the Wi-Fi controller and adjusts the LED output accordingly. Multiple lights synchronise perfectly for coordinated effects.
5️⃣ 24V SELV Power Supply The dedicated power supply (PU2MLPS 24V 320W) provides safe, low-voltage power. One power supply can operate up to 26 RGBW lights, making multi-light installations cost-effective.

Installation Procedure (per Official Manual)
- The liner fitting and the liner should be installed as normal
- The light body is threaded and shaped in order to be a perfect fit into and over the liner inlet clamp plate
- The pipework connected to the inlet fitting/s should be extended/converted to conduit which then runs above the water level to create a run for the cable to the central control/power point
- When the light cable is fed through the receiving pipe/conduit, sufficient cable should remain free within the pipe in order to be able to remove the light unit to the pool surround
- Run the cable through the pipe/conduit back to the desired control/power point
- Coil the free cable into the pipe and insert the light body – position the light body within the inlet fitting and screw the light into place
- When fully installed the light body will cover the inlet clamp plate exactly
Installation Notes
⚠️ WARNING: This equipment must be installed by qualified persons only
⚠️ NOTICE: The inlet fitting should be for use by the light only – it should not be connected to the pool circulation system
⚠️ Install between 400-700mm below water level for optimal lighting coverage
💡 Multiple lights can be installed within a single pool
💡 Each RGBW light requires an R4-CC driver receiving controller (PU2MLRC)
💡 One power supply (PU2MLPS) and Wi-Fi controller (PU2MLWC) can operate up to 26 RGBW lights
⚠️ NOTICE: Do not operate the light in a ‘non-wet’ environment for long periods

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between PU3 Large and PU2 Mini lights? A: The PU3 Large lights are more powerful (20W vs 12W), have a wider beam angle (120° vs 65°), cover more area (20m² vs 8m²), and are heavier (3.5kg vs 1.0kg for liner versions). PU3 is ideal for larger pools or when fewer lights are preferred.
Q: What is the difference between PU3MLPL and PU3MLPL+B? A: The PU3MLPL features a stainless steel fascia, whilst the PU3MLPL+B has a black fascia for a contemporary look. All other specifications are identical.
Q: What is the difference between the liner pool and concrete pool versions? A: The liner version (PU3MLPL) uses a 1.5″ screw-fit into Certikin liner inlet fittings and weighs 3.5kg. The concrete version (PU3MLP) uses a push-fit into Class C pipe and weighs 3kg.
Q: Do I need a liner inlet fitting? A: Yes, the light is designed to be installed into a new or existing Certikin liner inlet fitting connected to either 1.5″ or 2″ pipe.
Q: Can I connect the inlet fitting to the pool circulation system? A: No. The inlet fitting should be for use by the light only – it should not be connected to the pool circulation system.
Q: How many PU3 lights do I need for my pool? A: Each PU3 light covers approximately 20m². Calculate your pool’s wall area requiring illumination and divide by 20 for an estimate.
Q: What components do I need for a complete RGBW installation? A: Each light requires: PU2MLRC (R4-CC driver receiving controller), plus one PU2MLPS (24V 320W power supply) and one PU2MLWC (Wi-Fi 104 controller) per system. One power supply and controller can operate up to 26 RGBW lights.
Q: What voltage is required? A: 24VDC. A qualified electrician must carry out all electrical wiring in accordance with local electrical regulations.
Q: How do I control the colours? A: RGBW lights are operated via the control unit and/or App provided with the Wi-Fi 104 unit.
