BEFORE YOU START:
• ParaGlo cables can be shortened to suit individual installation requirements. Spa Electrics
recommends all cabling is protected by conduit and that a junction box (or similar) is
incorporated into pool cabling design to avoid siphoning.
• Ensure that the lighting system is installed by a qualified person (e.g. Registered pool builder
and/or licenced electrician), in accordance with the most current edition and/or amendment of
the NEC wiring code.
• For safe and proper installation, ensure that only those parts supplied with the system are used.
• Maximum installation depth for the ParaGlo 6” Light (WN950) is 1M (40”) below nominal water
level (to top of light)
• The ParaGlo 6“ Light (WN950) Must be correctly installed in or on the wall of the pool with the top
of the lens no less than 4” below the nominal water level.
• All lights should be mounted in a location that is easily accessible without the need for entering
or lowering the pool water.
• At least 2.5ft of cable must remain stored within the Niche to ensure the light can be accessed
above the waterline. (Maximum cable within niche :18AWG /16AWG = 8ft).
CLEANING
• Only use warm water and a soft brush or cloth to clean ParaGlo series lights. DO NOT use
detergents or spirits as this can damage the light and void your warranty.
USE
• Do not operate light unless completely submerged in water.
• Operating the light for at least 15 minutes every week is advised (all year round).
• ParaGlo lights are suited for both domestic and commercial installations and can be operated
continuously (24/7) if required.
•Temperature range for installation, operation and servicing: +32oF ~ +104oF (0oC ~ +40oC)
The ParaGlo 6” Light must only be used with a UL listed 12V AC Class 2 power supply or a
power source intended for swimming pool use (not included).
Minimum power source wattage requirement - 15 Watts per light.
• DO NOT use electronic or switch-mode power supplies with WN950-series lights. These power
supplies will damage the light and void your product warranty.
• Pool chemicals & PH levels: Due to the corrosive nature of unbalanced pool chemicals, Spa
Electrics strongly recommend that your pool water is balanced prior to installing your pool lights or
any plastic or stainless steel components, and tested weekly to maintain these levels. pH levels
should be maintained between 7.2 – 7.6 at all times to ensure the longevity of these components.
> Failure to do so can result in chemical damage to the light housing and pool fittings,
including stainless steel components.
> Please note: Lights or components found to have excessive chemical damage will not
be covered under our manufacturer’s warranty policy
• This light contains no user-serviceable parts; opening the light will void the product warranty.
WARNING
Congratulations on your purchase of a ParaGlo underwater lighting system.
All ParaGlo lights are manufactured by Spa Electrics in Australia from only the highest quality
materials and exclusively distributed through Paramount Pool & Spa Systems, USA.

TOOLS REQUIRED
PRODUCT SUPPORT & INFORMATION
•The use of power tools during installation is not recommended as
these devices can cause damage to the light and components.
•All installation steps should be carried out with manual tools only.
•The enclosed images are for illustrative purposes only. Appearances
of parts and assemblies may vary from the enclosed illustrations.
•Please contact your reseller if you have any questions regarding the
correct installation of this product.
• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
IMPORTANT NOTE
Lights MUST be removed from pool wall and cable disconnected via
plug connection & stored in a safe place.
Red plug cover must be fitted to plug top prior to reinstalling into niche for
winter.
Unless niche/conduit connection is adequately sealed; pool water level
must be drained down 12” below the lowest light(s) position in pool wall.
If possible, all conduits should be checked for accumulated water and
drained if required.
Consult your local pool professional for complete pool winterization
process.

Glue length of 1” (bellmouth) or 3/4” conduit into top of niche using PVC solvent cement
(suitable for ABS plastics). Conduit should extend above the water level of the pool.
CAUTION: Ensure that sufficient area behind the niche is dug out to allow for 2-3” of
concrete coverage around the entire niche.

Depending on your installation requirements, conduits may run to a common
junction box or return directly to the power supply. In either case, it is imperative that
the conduit extends above the water level of the pool at some point in order to
prevent syphoning.
NOTE: Conduit should contain a draw wire to allow for easy installation of power
cable.

FOAM REMOVAL
Spray concrete, paying particular attention to covering the entire niche. Using fingers,
scoop out the concrete around the front edge of the niche. (Fig 3)
WARNING: Ensure that the concrete is well compacted around the rear and base of the
niche, otherwise the pool may leak.
CAUTION: The front of the niche should not be recessed into the concrete.
(After concrete is sprayed and dry)
Remove foam from niche and if necessary, trim niche back to wall surface. Apply a
waterproof sealant in the recess between the niche and the concrete wall. (Fig 3)
CAUTION: Do not trim more than ¾” from the front of the niche or there may not be
sufficient depth remaining for inserting the light.

INSERT CABLING
Using the draw wire, feed the cable from the pool interior, through the niche and conduit
to transformer. Ensure that approximately 2.5ft (min) of cable extends from the niche to
the light, in order to allow the light to be lifted from the water to the pool surround for
servicing.
CAUTION: Do not install the light until after the pool has been acid washed. (Fig. 5)
Plaster or tile interior pool surface, level with raised edge of mounting ring.
CAUTION: Interior surface should not finish more than ½” higher than raised edge of
mounting ring, or the light may not be able to be mounted.

STEP 1 - POOL CONTROLLER SETUP
The MULTI-PLUS light has 7 inbuilt modes of operation for use on a variety of different control systems
or installation types.
When you first install your MULTI-PLUS light it will operate in the default, ‘Manual’ mode for use with
a wall switch. In order to connect the light to a 3rd party pool controller OR change to a different
operating mode please follow the below steps.
If connecting to a pool controller, please ensure the system is fully installed and you have completed
all the relevant steps in the controller setup menu to operate the lights correctly.
During pool controller setup you will be prompted to select which light model is installed. Please
use the below table to select the appropriate light for your pool controller type.
(For more information on this please refer to the pool controller installation manual).
MULTI PLUS SETUP
NOTE: Some older pool controllers may not support these models. Please contact the controller
manufacturer for upgrade assistance.

SYNCHRONIZED INSTALLATION
1. To change the color of the light, simply turn your light OFF for 2 seconds and then turn it
back ON. This will signal the light to proceed to the next colour in the sequence.
2.
3.
Your lights will automatically save your selected colour once the power has been turned
OFF for more than 1 minute. So the next time the lights are used, they will illuminate on
the last operated colour.
To reset or ‘synchronize’ your lights; with the power turned ON, turn the power OFF/ON
once rapidly. This will RESET your lights to WHITE
When installing multiple lights; to ensure synchronization and ease of operation, ALL Lights
must operate from a single switch.
Refer to pg. 14 for available colours.
*Hayward ProLogic Controllers:
Hayward Prologic controllers do not support MULTI
PLUS integration. If you are using a Hayward
ProLogic Controller, please leave MULTI PLUS
lights programmed to (1. Manual Mode) for best
operating experience.

Per the NEC, NFPA 70, Article 680.23 (B)(5), states that bonding shall not be required
for luminaires that are listed for the application and have no non-current carrying
metal parts. In addition, per Article 680.26 (B)(4), exception states that Listed low-volt-
age lighting systems with non-metallic forming shells shall not require bonding.
Therefore, luminaires that are located in the Class 2 circuit with polymeric/non-current
carrying metal parts are not required to be grounded / bonded.
