Pre-Installation Guidelines
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution! This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or
certified electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with the NEC and all applicable local
codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death
or serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage
to property. Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit breaker before servicing the
light. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service technician, pool users or others
due to electrical shock.
Please check that the pool and spa meets the requirements of the current NEC and all local codes and
ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the underwater light is installed. Some of the requirements of the NEC which the
pool’s electrical system must meet are as follows:
• The lighting circuit has a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage models and has an
appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• The Junction Box (or for 12V models, the low voltage transformer) is located at least eight (8) inches
(20.3 cm) above ground level and at least 48 inches (1.219 m) from the edge of the pool.
• The light fixture and all metal items within five (5) feet (1.524 m) of the pool are properly electrically
bonded.
• The wet niche is properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground connector
located at the rear of the niche.
• Make sure that the swimming pool’s electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the
electrician should also consult the local building department.

Pool and Spa Installation Guidelines
The following instructions describe how to remove and install the new PAL Evenglow Pool and Spa
light.
Please check that the pool and spa meets the requirements of the current NEC and all local codes and
ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the underwater light is installed. Failure to do so may cause Electric Shock and
damage to property.
1. WARNING! Switch off main electrical switch or circuit breaker and the switch which operates
the new Evenglow Pool and Spa light.
2. To remove current old light fixture assembly from the pool. Undo the pilot screw at top of
light and remove the light assembly from the niche and place it on top of the pool coping.
3. Cut the cord from back of light assembly.
4. Remove Junction Box cover, disconnect the light fixture wires and pull the cord through the
conduit. Make sure you have connected new light cable when pulling old existing cable through the
conduit.
5. Make sure you Leave at least four (4) feet of cable to coil inside Niche allowing for service
once pool is full of water.
6. Cut the cord at the Junction Box, leaving at least size (6) inches of cord to make
connections.
7. Strip outer cable jacket to expose the four copper conductors (+W, R, G, B) and be careful
not to damage the copper when doing so.
8. Connect the four light wires (+W, R, G, B) to the corresponding light circuit inside the driver.
9. For two wires; connect the Brown wire (+) and Blue wire (-) to either a 12V AC Transformer or
12V DC power supply.
10. Install the PAL Evenglow Large light assembly into the pool niche. Be sure to insert the hook
on the light into the SLOT on the lower part of the niche.
11. Insert mounting screw into top of light and secure to thread in Niche. Do not overtighten
screw.
12. Use only the provided mounting screw with this Evenglow light. This mounting screw
electrically grounds the stainless steel dress ring to the bonded 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.
13. Finally switch on the main switch or circuit breaker to the system, and the switch that operates the
Evenglow underwater light itself. The light should illuminate when power is applied. If not recheck the
installation steps starting with Step 1.
