Abstract @OC*:?!4  
The instant invention is a programmable, multi-colored, digital pool light system capable of operating multiple light sources and varying the power provided to each light bulb providing virtually unlimited amounts of light intensity, color blending and saturation. The light bulbs are mounted in a heat absorbing plate and light dispersing dichroic lenses are mounted above selected light bulbs. The program is operated by the ON/OFF switch. l{_1`rC'

1. A programmable, multi-colored, digital pool light system capable of operating multiple light sources, using alternating current and direct current, and varying the power provided to each light bulb and thereby providing an essentially infinite spectrum of light intensity, color blending and saturation, said light system comprising: a housing shaped to fit an existing niche in an underwater application, said housing having an upper end and a lower end, a light bulb mounting plate heat sink in direct contact to the walls of said housing allowing heat dissipation to surrounding water, said mounting plate having a plurality of light bulb retaining recesses for providing a soft start thermalshock protection, said mounting plate being mounted within said housing at said upper end, a plurality of high intensity incandescent halogen light bulbs mounted in said light bulb retaining recesses, a plurality of light dispersing dichroic tinted colored lenses mounted above selected incandescent halogen light bulbs, a printed circuit board having transistors, a programmable microprocessor means, high voltage compensation means and solid state relay system capable of controlling all the power to two or more combinations of said incandescent halogen light bulbs, a connector means for connecting said incandescent light bulbs to said microprocessor means, and a three wire power cord connected to an ON/OFF switch and said solid state relays, said line voltage regulators being directly in contact with housing walls to transfer heat through housing walls into surrounding water, and a sealing mechanism secured at said upper end of said housing, said sealing mechanism having a lenticular designed, domed glass lens, and a rubber seal, said glass lens and rubber seal being securely fastened to said housing with a sealing clamp. {>>Gc2UT
