The junction box must be located:
•At least 4’ from the perimeter of the pool (unless separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other
permanent structure,
•At least 8” above maximum water level,
•At least 4” above the deck or ground level.
Junction boxes should be located off the walkway around the pool and given additional protection by installing them next
to a fence, building, or other permanent structure. Make sure that the installation is in compliance with local codes, and
the NEC.

gently place assembly on deck. You are not required to drain
down the pool.
Jazz Light is heavy. Use caution when removing and
installing into the pool niche. Do not drop; this may
damage the light fixture.
Be sure to keep the special pilot screw from this
underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically
grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring

could create an electrical hazard, which could result
in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or
others due to electrical shock.

8. Align the letter “E” of the word before on the surface of the lens with the pilot screw hole on the face ring for
proper lens orientation.
9. Secure ring to light fixture. See Section VI. Stainless Steel Face Ring Assembly Instructions.
10. Replace light assembly into niche and tighten special pilot screw.
Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically
grounds the housing securely to the mounting dng and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided could
create an electrical hazard, which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others
due to electrical shock.
Section VI. Stainless Steel Face Ring Assembly Instructions.
Replace lens gasket. A NEW LENS GASKET MUST BE USED EACH TIME THE LIGHT IS REASSEMBLED.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANTS WHEN INSTALLING THE LENS GASKET!
1. With the light resting on its base, place lens/gasket assembly on light fixture and position the face ring so the
pilot screw on the face ring aligns with the letter “E” of the word “BEFORE” on the surface of the lens.
2. Install the compression clamp over the lens, gasket, and base assembly. Tighten the screw and nut until the
distance between the ends of the clamp equals 3/8 – 1/2 inch.
