electrical system must be installed by a licensed or certied electrician to meet or exceed those
requirements prior to installation of the light. This includes, but is not limited to, the following
National Electrical Code requirements:
• Installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage models on the lighting
circuit with an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• A junction box or low voltage transformer is located at least 8 inches above the maximum
pool water level and at least 48 inches from the pool edge; reference Figure 1.
• Proper electrical bonding of the light xture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool
• Proper wet niche installation with the top edge of the underwater light’s lens at least 18
inches below the surface of the water in the pool and not more than 20” in Canada; reference
Figure 1.
• Proper electrical wet niche bonding and grounding using the #8 AWG ground connector at the
rear of the niche; reference Figure 1.

This special pilot screw secures and electrically grounds the xture to the mounting ring
and wet niche. Failure to install the stainless steel pilot screw provided could create an
electrical shock hazard, resulting in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others.
5. Using the stainless steel pilot screw provided, install the PureWhite LED light xture
assembly into the niche, carefully tightening the pilot screw. (reference Figure 1)
6. Fill the pool to completely submerge the light prior to operating the light. Do not
operate light out of water, this may cause damage to the light.
7. Make a nal check to conrm proper light operation by switching “on” the main switch or
circuit breaker and the light switch. The light should illuminate when power is switched
“on”. If the light is not operating, go back to Step 1 to recheck each installation step for
proper completion.

within 10 mintues to prevent damage to the light.
WARNING! Do not operate this light for more than two minutes without
completely submerging it in water. Failure to do so can result in permanent

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION STEPS
(ONCE ALL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)

1. Disconnect the main electrical switch or circuit breaker and the switch which operates
the installed light.
2. Remove the existing light per the original manufacturer’s instructions. Place the light
xture on the deck. 3. Leaving the light xture on the deck, cut the light cord. Be sure to
leave at least six (6) inches of cord in order to connect it to the replacement light cord.
Discard the light xture.
4. Remove the existing cord by pulling it up out of the niche and onto the deck. Carefully
strip the outer cord jacket to expose six (6) inches of the underlying three insulated wires.
5. Tape the three existing light wires to the replacement light cord with electrical insulating
tape. Avoid wrapping too much tape around the cords. Otherwise, the thickness will be too
great for the cord to be able to be pulled through the conduit to the junction box.
6. After removing the junction box cover, disconnect the light xture wires. Then, pull the
cord through the conduit until it is visible in the junction box conduit. Remove the tape
from the cords and separate the wires.
7. Carefully strip the outer cord jacket from the new light cord to expose six (6) inches of
the underlying three insulated wires.
8. Connect these three (3) wires to their corresponding junction box circuit wires and
secure the junction box cover in place.
9. Be sure to leave at least four (4) feet of cord at base of the xture to coil around the light
to ensure ease of servicing; reference Figure 1.
10. Install the PureWhite light xture into the niche.
11. Using the stainless steel pilot screw provided, install the PureWhite LED light xture
assembly into the niche, carefully tightening the pilot screw. (reference Figure 1)
12. Make a nal check to conrm proper light operation by switching “on” the main switch
or circuit breaker and the light switch. The light should illuminate when power is switched
“on”. If the light is not operating, go back to Step 1 to recheck each installation step for
proper completion.
This special pilot screw secures and electrically grounds the xture to the mounting ring
and wet niche. Failure to install the stainless steel pilot screw provided could create an
electrical shock hazard, resulting in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others.
WARNING! Use only the stainless steel screw provided with this underwater light.
INSTALLER NOTICE: This light’s external cord cannot be replaced and should be handled
with care. Any damage to this external cord necessitates replacing the light.
