General safety Instructions
Read and observe all of the instructions before installing, connecting and operating.
Make sure the lights are securely and correctly installed before switching on.
Always disconnect the lights when not in use and when carrying out maintenance.
Always disconnect all equipment in the pond before starting to handle, maintain, repair or
install any pond equipment.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a responsible person.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
For safety reasons, servicing or repair of this item should only be carried out by pondXpert.
Never hang or carry the pump by the power cord.
Do not operate the pump with a damaged cord or plug. The supply cord of the appliance
cannot be replaced. If the electrical cord is damaged the product must be repaired by a
specialist. There is a hazard of electrical shock!
Do not place a container, cup or any other object over the light. Water/ cool air must be
allowed to circulate to stop the lights getting too hot.
The lights will become hot during operation and therefore must be handled with care.
Be careful to lay out the power supply cord and extension cords so they present no risk to
anybody stumbling or pulling the cords.
Safety and Electrical Connections
The light set is electrically operated so great care must be taken during installation and
operation. The following electrical and safety guidelines must be carefully followed.

The termination to the mains supply should be permanent, inside a dry weatherproof
enclosure, through a double pole switched fused spur with a minimum contact gap of 3mm –
(disconnected) to BS 3676 –and fitted with a 3 or 5 amp fuse.
Exposed cable runs should be sensibly positioned, and protected if necessary by armoured
conduit. A 10mA or 30mA Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCD) MUST be fitted to the
mains supply. Permanent installations to the mains supply (hard wiring) must comply with
the regulations of the local electricity authority which may stipulate the use of metal or
plastic conduit to protect the cable. If in any doubt about wiring to the mains supply contact
a qualified electrician or your local electricity authority.
Directions for use
These outdoor lights can be used in or out of the water.
If used out of water take care to make sure no objects touch or are left too close to the lights
as they get extremely hot in use. When used submerged it is best to place the unit approx 1
foot below the water surface (at deeper levels brightness is reduced).
Certain models may include a dawn-to-dusk sensor. You can test your lights are working
by covering the sensor with your finger (replicating darkness). This clever feature ensures
your lights come on when it gets dark and go off at sunrise.
Changing the coloured lenses
Simply unscrew the light cap as shown on the light itself.
Remove the lens in position and replace with required colour.
Re-assemble the end cap by rotation.
