Installation
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® (Canadian
- Electrical Code, in Canada) 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 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.
NOTE : Jandy Nicheless Lights are Low Voltage and do not have any exposed metal and as such do not require a separate ground or bonding wire.
Preparing the Light Fixture for Installation
NOTE : The electrician must complete preparatory steps before light fixture is installed. See Figure 1.
Verify that the pool meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code® (Canadian Electrical Code, in Canada) and all local codes 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:
- The junction box or Infinite WaterColors LED Light Controller is suitable for direct conduit connection to lights and must be located at least (8) inches above water level, at least four (4) inches above ground level, and at least 48 inches (4 feet) from the edge of the pool, or as required by local code. See Figure 1.
- 1.5” pipe must be installed through the bond beam followed by 1” conduit for the cord using sweep elbows only for turns. Do not use 90 degree elbows. It is highly recommended to use 1.5” pipe throughout the entire width of the bond beam, however, the minimum length for the particular light being installed is specified in Table 1.
- A standard 1.5” plastic wall / return fitting (not included) must be installed so that the top edge of the underwater light’s lens is at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) below the surface of the water in the pool.
See Figure 1.
NOTE : For optimal lighting results it is recommended to place lights
12-18” below the water line.
NOTE : To be certain that the pool’s electrical system meets all
applicable requirements, the electrician should also consult the local
building department.
Figure 1. Jandy® LED Light Installation with Standard 1.5” Plastic Fitting
Use the chart below to determine the appropriate pipe length for your
installation.
WATTS | MINIMUM LENGTH FOR 1.5” PIPE |
---|---|
15W | 10” |
Cord length options: 100ft and 200ft
Installing the Light Fixture
NOTE : Perform these steps only after the electrical system requirements
are met.
-
Keep protective cover on to protect the light during installation.
-
Snake the electric cord through the conduit outlet of the wall fitting, into the conduit and up to the location of the pool transformer. Cut the cord 18”-24” beyond the length needed to reach the transformer to allow for a service loop. Pull the fixture snug to the wall fitting.
-
Remove protective cover after construction (including plastering for gunite pools) is complete. Do not plaster the pool with the construction cover removed.
-
Install cosmetic cover if desired.
-
Apply teflon silicone lube to threads to assist with threading.
NOTE : When using a 1 1/2” MIP fitting on the back of a SP-1022 or SP-1408 Wall Fitting, the interior of the Spears and Dura MIP are too small for use with the Jandy® Infinite WaterColors Nicheless LED Lights. -
Using the included installation tool, thread the light into the wall fitting until it is snug. The light face must be completely flush with the return fitting. Please provide the pool owner with a minimum of 1 key upon job completion
Wet Area Installations
For wet area lighting within 10 feet (3M) of a pool or spa, the luminaire
shall be installed in areas not subject to incidental contact from people,
pets, vehicles, and foot traffic, except when the luminaire is adequately
guarded
Controller Wiring Options
The Jandy Infinite WaterColors Nicheless LED Light is designed to be powered
and operated with the Jandy Infinite WaterColors LED Light Controller, the
lights will not operate when powered from an alternate transformer. Follow all
installation and operating instructions that accompany this product, as well
as the Jandy Infinite WaterColors LED Light Controller (Model: IWCLC300W).
NOTE : Always consider the cable length when calculating the input
voltage at the transformer. The maximum run of service between transformer and
lights should not exceed 200ft. in length, inclusive of the use of a J Box or
not.
To the extent allowed by local installation codes in effect in the
installation jurisdiction and capacity of the electrical equipment, multiple
Jandy lights may be controlled with a Infinite WaterColors LED Light
Controller
Wiring to an AquaLink® RS Control System
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION, which could result in
serious injury or death. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI, in Canada:
Class A type) for 120 Volt transformers should be used if required by the
transformer manufacturer or if required by the local applicable code and/or
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). When a GFCI is used, the conductors on
the load side of the GFCI circuit shall not occupy conduit, boxes, or
enclosures containing other conductors unless the additional conductors are
also protected by a GFCI. Test the GFCI on a routine basis. Refer to local
codes for complete details

Winterizing
Do not keep the winter water level at the level of the light. Make certain that the water level is left at least 4” or more above or below the light depending on the pool’s other winterization needs. Consult a Local Swimming Pool Professional for proper winterization. At NO TIME should there be water removed from the pool without checking ground water tables.
Troubleshooting
Use the troubleshooting information in the following table for suggestions
Problem | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
---|---|---|
Lights are out of sync | Zones are set |
differently
| Check that lights are in the same zone or the same light show is applied to
all zones.
Lights don’t turn on| Lights are not powered| Check the 120VAC power supply
into the transformer, 14VAC output at the transformer, and ensure the lights
are enabled via the iAquaLink app. Check or reset the GFCI. Make sure 120
volts has not been
used in the installation. If so, damage is assured and is not warrantable.
---|---|---
One or more lights are dim, blinking or not working| Poor connection or
improper wire gauge| Separate each light and independently wire 14VAC to a
single light only. Repeat this process for each light.
If the junction box is being used, then check for proper connection of the light cord. Verify that the correct wire gauge is being used
between the transformer and junction box.
Lights are flashing
yellow
| Lights are not communicating with the Infinite WaterColors LED Light
Controller or lights are connected to a non-compatible controller or
transformer.| Confirm lights are powered by the Infinite WaterColors LED Light
Controller. If not, then connect and try again. If they’re powered, then check
the RS-485 connection.
Different colors from different lights| Zones are set
differently
| Check that lights are in the same zone, or that all zones are set to the same color.
