1.1 Preparing the light Fixture for installation
Installing Light Fixture
during New Construction
Section 1
NOTE: The lights are available in 12 volt DC version.
12V transformer is built in the control box.
No extra transformer is needed.
Ensure that the pool meets the requirements of the
current National Electrical Code 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 National Electrical
Code, which the pool electrical systems must meet, are as
follows:
1. The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for 120 volt models,
and must have an appropriately rated circuit
breaker.
2. The junction box (or, for 12 volt models, the low
voltage transformer) must be located at least eight
(8) inches above water level, at least four (4)
inches above ground level, and at least four (4)
feet from the edge of the pool. See Figure 1.
3.The light fixture and all metal items within five
(5) feet of the pool must be properly electrically
bonded to a reliable point of grounding.
4. The wet niche must be properly installed so that
the top edge of the underwater light’s lens is at
least 18 inches below the surface of the water in
the pool. See Figure 1.
5. The wet niche must be properly electrically
bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground
connector located at the rear of the niche. See
Figure 1.

1.2 installing the light Fixture
1. Feed cord through conduit to junction box,
leaving at least four (4) feet of cord at the light
fixture to coil into the base of the light niche, see
Figure 1. The four (4) feet of cord allows the light
to be serviced after the pool is filled with water.
2. Cut the cord at the junction box, leaving at least
six (6) inches of cord to make connections.
3. Strip 2 inches of the outer cord jacket to
expose the 4 insulated wires. Be careful not to
damage the insulation on the four inner wires.
4. Install strain relief over cord jacket and connect
four wires to the 12V output of the control box .
5.Connect control box to 120V supply, Install strain relief
over cord jacket and connect 120V input wires of control
box to junction box. Black wire is line, white wire is neutral
and green is ground.
6. Engage the retainer tab on the bottom of light
back, then pivot the top of the fixture inward and
tighten the special pilot screw. See Figure 3
7. Fill the pool until the underwater light is
completely submerged in water before operating
the light for more than 20 seconds. Turn on main
switch or circuit breaker, as well as smart phone,
which operates the underwater light, to check for
proper operation. Refer to the pool light operating
instructions.
WARNING
1.3 Install the Pool Light on a Flat Wall
in a Nicheless Pool
1.Install process is the same as the 1.2 except the mount of
light.
2. Drill 1 hole on the flat place you intend to mount
the pool light, use 1 expansion screw to fix the light.
