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.

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 1minute. 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.
Important
You must wait at least 30 Seconds
prior to turning the system back ON
or selection process will fail and
setup will need to be restarted.
Refer to pg. 18 for available colours.

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.
Spa Electrics ATOM & QUANTUM (EM & WN9) luminaires with their plastic housing
designs and plastic niches do not require grounding / bonding when operated within a
Class 2 circuit supply.
Spa Electrics ATOM & QUANTUM (EM & WN9) lights have also been determined to
comply with the applicable UL requirements for wet-niche, LED type Swimming Pool
and Spa Luminaires.
