GENERAL SAFETY!
Hazardous voltage. Incorrectly installed or
tested equipment may fail, causing severe injury or prop-
erty damage. Read and follow instructions in owner's
manual when installing and operating equipment. Have
a trained pool professional perform all tests.
Risk of electrical shock. Before removing
fixture from pool wall, ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER
at the breaker.
Install this light and light niche in accordance with Article
680 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), in the United
States, or Section 68 of the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC), as applicable, and all local code requirements.
Install an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter in
the electrical circuit for this light.
All devices in the system must be directly grounded to a
positive electrical ground. All devices in the system must
meet all applicable code requirements for bonding.
Installation and maintenance of this circuit, and the light,
light niche, and any other accessories attached to the cir-
cuit, must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
The complete electrical system must be installed, tested,
and approved by a qualified, licensed electrician before
it is placed in operation.
Burn hazard. Never operate this light fix-
ture for more than 10 seconds unless it is completely
submerged in water. This fixture requires total submer-
sion for cooling.
Breakage hazard. Install fixture in a vertical
pool or spa wall – not in floor. Failure to install the fix-
ture properly could result in personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage. Do not push off from the poolside against
the light.
Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the
swimming pool that is not used for swimming and the
lens is adequately guarded to keep any person from con-
tacting it, the fixture shall be installed in or on a wall of
the pool, with the top of the lens opening not less than
18” below the normal level of the pool.
The junction box must be located:
•at least 4 feet from the perimeter of the pool (unless
separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other
permanent structure,
•at least 8” above maximum water level,
•at least 4” above the deck or ground level.
Junction boxes should be located off the walkway
around the pool and given additional protection by
installing them next to a fence, building, or other perma-
nent structure. Make sure that the installation is in com-
pliance with local codes and the NEC or the CEC, as
applicable.
The improper use of Ozone generators, Chlorine genera-
tors, Copper/Silver Ion generators or certain chemicals
for water purification may cause damage to the fixture.
When such water purification methods are used, be sure
to monitor the water conditions. Subjecting the fixture to
extreme conditions or harsh environments may cause
corrosion and premature failure of the fixture or its
components.
Cutting hazard if light is improperly
installed. This light is for use only in commercial and
residential swimming pools and spas. It has not been
designed, tested, or approved for use in wave pools,
lazy rivers, or other waterpark features, and should not
be used in them. Use in any application other than a
swimming pool or spa may lead to damage to the light
and cuts to swimmers and will void the warranty. Sta-
Rite will not be responsible for any damages or injuries
due to misapplication of this light.

INSTALLATION
Sunbrite™Lamp Housing Installation
(Refer to Figure 2 and the Exploded View on Page 5).
1. Be sure the power is off.
2. Place lamp housing on the deck above the niche.
Feed the cord into the niche and through the conduit
until the cord reaches the junction box. Make sure
that there is enough cord to allow the fixture to be
placed on the deck for re-lamping.
3. Make connections in the junction box (be sure to fol-
low code requirements). Connect the supply circuit
grounding wire (green, green and yellow, or bare cop-
per) to the green ground conductor from the light fix-
ture. Connect the line supply wire (the black or ’hot’
wire) to the black wire from the light fixture. Connect
the neutral (white) supply wire to the neutral (white)
wire from the light fixture.
4. Wrap the cord around the lamp housing and place the
lamp housing in the niche. Be sure the locator tab on
the bottom of the lamp housing is in the notch at the
bottom of the niche.
5. Fasten the lamp housing into the niche with the cap-
tive leader screw at the top of the fixture (use a No. 2
Phillips screwdriver).
NOTICE: The screw in the face ring may be recessed.
