Section 3. Installing Jandy
Pro Series Light
Fixture during New
Construction
WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution.
underwater light must be installed by a licensed or
certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances in the US, the
Canadian Electrical Code ("CEC" or C22.1) in Canada.
Improper installation will create an electrical hazard,
which could result in death or serious injury to pool or
spa users, installers or others due to electrical shock,
and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect the power to the light at the
circuit breaker before installing or servicing the light.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury
to serviceman, pool or spa users or others due to
electrical shock.
3.1
Preparing the Light Fixture for
Installation
NOTE
The electrician must complete preparatory steps
before light fixture is installed. See Figure 1.
Ensure that the pool meets the requirements of the
current National Electrical Code
the US, the Canadian Electrical Code ("CEC" or C22.1) in
. A licensed or certified electrician must install the
Canada
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:
WARNING
To minimize risk of Electrical shock or electrocution,
which could result in injury or death, for supply
connection of low-voltage lights use only an isolating
low voltage power supply, evaluated and listed by a
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) for
swimming pool use.
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.

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.

To be certain that the pool's electrical system meets
all applicable requirements, the electrician should also
consult the local building department.
Use only approved wet niches (see following note) to
ensure a safe and proper installation.
