Product Usage Instructions

Section 1: Installing Light Fixture during New Construction

Preparing the Light Fixture for Installation
The LED underwater pool light is available in a 12V DC version with a built-in transformer. No additional transformer is required. To ensure a safe and proper installation, use only approved wet niches.

NOTE: The lights are available in 12 volt DC version. 12V transformer is built in the control box.
No extra transformer is needed.
Ensure that the pool meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code 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:

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.
3. The light fixture and all metal items within five (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.

Installing the Light Fixture

1. Feed the cord through the conduit to the junction box.  leaving at least four (4) feet of cord at the light fixture to coil into the base of the light niche, see Figure 1. The four (4) feet of cord allows the light to be serviced after the pool is filled with water.
2. Connect the GFCI, neutral line, and ground according to the provided guidelines.
3. Ensure that the light fixture is submerged in water before operating it for more than 20 seconds.
4. Turn on the main switch or circuit breaker and the smart phone app that controls the underwater light to check for proper operation. Refer to the pool light operating instructions for further details.
5.  Cut the cord at the junction box, leaving at least six (6) inches of cord to make connections.
6.  Strip 2 inches of the outer cord jacket to expose the 4 insulated wires. Be careful not to damage the insulation on the four inner wires.
7. Install strain relief over cord jacket and connect four wires to the 12V output of the control box .
8. Connect control box to 120V supply, Install strain relief over cord jacket and connect 120V input wires of control box to junction box. Black wire is line, white wire is neutral and green is ground.
9. Engage the retainer tab on the bottom of light back, then pivot the top of the fixture inward and tighten the special pilot screw.
10. Fill the pool until the underwater light is completely submerged in water before operating the light for more than 20 seconds. Turn on main switch or circuit breaker, as well as smart phone, which operates the underwater light, to check for proper operation. Refer to the pool light operating instructions.

WARNING
Never operate this underwater light for more than 20 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 breakage of LEDs. This may result in serious injury to pool or spa users, installers, or bystanders or damage to property.

Install the Pool Light on a Flat Wall in a Nicheless Pool

1. Install process is the same as the 1.2 except the mount of light.
2. Drill 1 hole on the flat place you intend to mount the pool light, use 1 expansion screw to fix the light. treat the light with silicon around the light.( you may need to cut off the bolt that is for wet niche install.)
   

WARNING: Never operate the underwater light for more than 20 seconds unless it is completely submerged in water.
Operating the light without total submersion can result in serious burns, LED breakage, and potential harm to individuals or property.

Section 2: Installing the Pool Light on a Flat Wall in a Nicheless Pool
The installation process for a nicheless pool is similar to the previous section, with the main difference being the mounting of the light fixture.

1. Follow steps 1-3 from the previous section for preparing and installing the light fixture.
2. Drill a hole on the flat surface where you intend to mount the pool light.
3. Use an expansion screw to fix the light in place.
4. Treat the area around the light with silicon to ensure proper sealing. If necessary, remove any bolts intended for wet niche installation.
5. Refer to Figure 2 for a visual representation of the installation setup.

Section 3: Replacing New Pool Light Fixture in an Existing Pool or Spa

The process of replacing a pool light fixture in an existing pool or spa is similar to the installation process during new construction. Follow the steps provided in Section 1, with the
necessary modifications for an existing setup.
NOTE: The lights are availiable in 12-volt DC version. 12V transformer is built in the control box.
