(*) Note: Wet-niche luminaires complying with requirements for both uses may bare
both the Listed Wet-Niche Submersible Luminaires UL Mark. A luminaire not bearing
the corresponding UL Listing Mark is not considered by UL to have been produced
under UL’s Listing and Follow-Up Service for the associated usage location.
CAUTION - The Pentair Water Pool and Spa®IntelliBrite 5g LED light fixture must only be
used with Pentair Water Pool and Spa fixture housings (niches). If the IntelliBrite LED
light fixture is installed into other niches, the installation will not carry U.L. approval and
will void all warranties.
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required
for proper operation of an electronic chlorine generator are relatively
low when compared to sea water and other salt solutions, placing any amount of salt in
your pool increases the likelihood of corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment
and any surfaces used in and around your pool. Metal parts and certain natural and man-
made surfaces are particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in
and around salt water pools. Pentair Water Pool and Spa does not represent or
otherwise guarantee that the proper use of an electronic chlorine generator will prevent
corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment and any surfaces used in and around
your pool. Consult your experienced pool professional, who should be able to advise
you on the proper material selection, installation techniques for those materials, and the
proper use, care and maintenance of those materials for your specific pool type and
location in order to minimize the corrosion and deterioration that is inherent in and
around salt water pools.

IntelliBrite®5g Underwater Pool Color-Changing LED Light
Overview
Operating IntelliBrite 5g Pool lights (120 VAC and 12 VAC models)
IntelliBrite 5g pool LED lights can be manually controlled using a standard wall-mount
light switch. Multiple IntelliBrite lights can be connected via a junction box to a single
switch so that all lights can be switched on and off together.
Using an External Transformer for Multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC Lights
When using multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC LED lights on a 300 Watt transformer, it is
recommended that no more than three (3) IntelliBrite pool lights and one (1) IntelliBrite
Spa light be used. It is also recommended not to exceed 100 feet of total cable run
between the transformer and light (see diagram below).
The IntelliBrite® 5g underwater pool LED (light-emitting diode) light system gives you
brilliant vivid multi-colors with spectacular effects for your pool. The energy efficient
colored LED array can cycle through colors at varying speeds and in different sequences
of color. Choose one of the seven pre-programmed color light shows or select one of the
five fixed colors to create virtually endless range of dramatic underwater lighting effects.
Unique Wide and Narrow Angle Lens Feature
The unique IntelliBrite 5g LED light lens geometry provides a choice of “wide” or
“narrow” angle light beam to suit various size pools. For more information, see page 17.
IntelliBrite 5g pool LED lights are available in two models; 120 VAC and 12 VAC, and are
fully compatible with IntelliTouch®and EasyTouch®automation systems. For more
information about using IntelliBrite lights with IntelliTouch systems, refer to the
IntelliTouch User’s Guide (P/N 520102) and the EasyTouch User’s Guide (P/N 520584).
