1. BEFORE INSTALLING
Figure 3
1. Ensure that the pool meets the requirements of the current local electrical system codes
and ordinances. Alicensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or
exceed those requirements before this underwater light is installed.
2. The lighting circuit must have aGround Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) ,or have an
appropriately rated current circuit breaker.
3. All metal items within 200mm of the pool must be properly electrically bonded to areliable
point of grounding.
4. The junction box or the 12 volt or 24 volt low voltage transformer, should be located at least
300mm above the water level, at least 200mm above the ground level or pool deck level, and
at least 1200mm from the edge of the pool.
5. The distance between the light and the transformer must not exceed 30m (See Figure 2),
the cables connecting must be at least 6mm2, otherwise the light would not function properly.
6. This underwater light must be installed in or on aflat wall of the pool, with the top of the lens
opening not less than 450mm below the normal water level of the pool.
7. To achieve synchronization, make sure a master switch is installed. (See Figure 3).

1. Prepare enough room for the niche to be fixed into the wall of the swimming pool.
2. There are two conduits on the back of the niche. Choose one conduit which is the most
convenient to your wiring design ans seal the other one with the waterproof plug provided.
(See Figure 4 and Figure 6).
3. Feed the cord through conduit to junction box or safety transformer.
4. Concreting the pool as shown in Figure 4.
5. The light niche must be installed within the pool wall, make sure the niche does not exceed
the wall surface. (See Figure 5).

2.2 INSTALLTING THE LIGHT FIXTURE
2.3 REPLACING THE BULB
Figure 8 Figure 9
Figure 10
WARNING: Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw
mounts and electrically grounds the mounting parts of the light. Or choose qualified 304# or
better stainless steel pilot screw. Failure to do so may cause serious corrosion of the pilot
screw and the light.
WARNING: Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit breaker when installing
the light. The light must be fully submerged in water before any check for proper operation
after installing.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the new bulb is suitable for this underwater light. It is best that the
new bulb is with the same specifications as the old bulb.
1. Unscrew the pilot screw and pull top of the face ring, remove the light assembly from niche
and gently place assembly on the deck. It is not necessary to drain down the pool.
2. Unscrew the nuts on the back of the light assembly to allow the bottom clamp to be
removed from the light fixture. (See Figure 10 and Figure 11).
3. Install the new bulb.
①REPLACING A PAR56 BULB
1. The screw holes on the light fixture should be lined up with 12 o’clock position. (See Figure
8).
2. Aim at the screw hole and tighten the fixture to the niche with the screws provided. (See
Figure 9).

4. TO OPERATE THE LIGHT
4.1 WHITE ONLY, WARM WHITE ONLY, OR OTHER SIGNLE COLOR LIGHTS
1. SAFETY WARNING: Keep any person from contacting or stepping upon the light when it’s
ON in apool unless the lens is extra adequately guarded. Otherwise it may cause serious
injury to pool users or bystanders or damage to property due to the split of the lens.
2. SAFETY WARNING: Never operate this underwater light for more than 1minute unless it is
totally submerged in water. Without total submersion, the light could get extremely hot, which
may result in serious burns or in breakage of the light or its lens. This may result in serious
injury to pool users, installers, or bystanders or damage to property.
IMPORTANT: Check the waterproofing performance of this underwater light every time the
light fixture is disassembled. Replace the old waterproof fittings when necessary.
NOTE: The pool electrical system should be verified at least once every month with apool and
spa electrical qualification test kit. This inspection must be performed by atrained and certified
personnel.

NOTE: There is no maintenance required for this light. It is designed to be used only once,
meaning that replacement is necessary if it becomes defective. The repairing is impossible.
NOTE: To replace the complete light, unfasten it from the bracket. Make sure the new light is
in the same switch.
The warranty is limited to the first retail purchaser, it is not transferable, and does not apply to
products that have been moved from their original installation sites. This warranty does not
cover failures or malfunctions from improper installation and/or operation.
The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for assembly, installation or start-up
of any electric components which have been inserted or handled at locations other than its
own premises.
The user of this underwater light should confirm the warranty period with the product's seller.
When there are any problem during the warranty period, the seller of this product should be
the first person you should contact.
To select the color mode, turn the light OFF for one 1.5 seconds. Continue turning OFF and
ON until the desired light color mode is reached.
NOTE: When the light is turned OFF for more than 1.5 seconds, it will return to the beginning
of the color cycle (mode 1).
NOTE: To synchronize several lights to the same color mode, you will need to reset to the
beginning of the color mode sequence. With the lights ON, turn them OFF for more than 5
seconds, then turn ON again. All lights will reset to the Blue (mode 1). If all of the lights are not
in the Blue (mode 1), they have not been synchronized, repeat the steps above.
IMPORTANT: This section only applies to the RGB or RGBW lights. Pool users and operators
can choose to (or not to) install one (or more) controller to build afine control system for the
lights.
NOTE: The specifications of the controller, especially the input voltage, must be well known by
pool users and installers before installation. Failure to do so may cause the injury to person
and damage to both the light and controller.
Turn the light ON, the 16 pre-programmed color modes will begin to run automatically and
cyclically from mode 1 to mode 16, until the light power is off.
NOTE: The first time the light is turned on, the color begins with Blue (mode 1).
