CERTIFICATION & COMPLIANCE

Congratulations on your purchase of a Spa Electrics RETRO Series pool light, for safe
and proper installation, please read the installation manual carefully prior to product
installation.
For safe & proper installation, use only parts (screws, plugs, sealant etc) provided.
The RETRO Series EMRX Light must be water cooled at all times. DO NOT switch the
light on until installation is complete and the light is fully submerged in water.
Ensure sufficient cable is coiled behind the light to allow for servicing
Ensure only circular cable not exceeding 14mm diameter is connected to the
supplied cable joiner. The use of Figure 8 or non circular cable will prevent correct
sealing & will void the product warranty.
The RETRO Series EMRX Light does not contain any user serviceable parts, opening
the light will void the product warranty.
Pool chemicals & PH levels: Due to the corrosive nature of unbalanced pool chemi-
cals, Spa Electrics strongly recommends 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
READ THIS FIRST
WARNING
The RETRO Series 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.
