This will keep the lens and gasket assembly from being pushed out of theface ring while you secure it to the light fixture.

  5. Spread the bottom clamp over the electrical cord and slide it onto the back of fixture to the top clamp.

  6. Tighten the Phillips head screws (eight (8) for large light and six (6) for small light) on the light in alternating cross-pattern. Torque screws to approximately 25 in-lbs.

  7.  Discard the old gasket.

7.7 Reinstall the Jandy Light Into Niche Fixture.

  1. Coil the extra four (4) feet of cord around the fixture or into the base of the niche and place the light assembly into the niche.

  2. Engage the retainer tab on the bottom of the face ring, then pivot the top of the fixture inward and tighten the special pilot screw.
    WARNING
    Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided could create an electrical hazard, which could result in death or serious injury to pool or spa users, installers or others due to electrical shock.

  3.  If pool is empty, Fill the pool until the underwaterlight is completely submerged in water before operating the light for more than 2 minutes. The light will heat up quickly when operated outside of water. Turn on main switch or circuit breaker, and the switch, which operates the underwater light, to check for proper operation.
    ** WARNING**
    Never operate this underwater light for more than 10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water.
    Without total submersion, the light assembly will get extremely hot, which may result in serious burns or in damage to the light. This may result in serious injury to pool or spa users, installers, or bystanders or in damage to property.

Section 8. Twelve (12) Volt Installation

A separate 12-Volt AC Transformer is required on all 12-Volt Models. For Jandy WaterColors RGBW LED Light use a 150-watt multi-tap 12-volt system per light.
**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.
NOTE:** For optimum performance Jandy recommends to use one transformer per 12-volt light.
To ensure maximum safety, it is strongly recommended that a transformer that has been listed or recognized by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) for
the application be used.
