WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution.
This 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. 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 color 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
and ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must
install the 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.

(5) feet of the pool must be properly electrically
bonded to a reliable point of grounding.
4. The wet niche must be properly installed so that
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.
NOTE
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.
