Preparation Work

The PAL AquaLumin Nicheless Replacement Pool Light is a 24V DC replacement light for the Pentair AquaLumin light. A 24V transformer will need to be installed to be able to operate our light
Ensure that the pool’s electrical system complies with the standards outlined in the current National Electrical Code (NEC).

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This PAL AquaLumin Nicheless Replacement Pool Light is intended to replace the existing AquaLumin Nicheless light. This product includes a new bracket, and a new light, completely replacing the original parts.

Section 3. Replacing the Light

Replacing the Light

A. Replacing the light and optional cord.

Remove the old AquaLumin from the niche. Undo the bolt at the top of the light. Take the gray plastic protector and all 4 bolts from the niche. See Figure 1.
If the cable can be removed, remove the old cable, and leave a pull line through the conduit.
After removing all parts of the old AquaLumin, place the gray gasket plate closest to the liner. The light mount with the words TOP should face outward.
Align the screws with the niche. See Figure 2 and 3.
NOTE: The three machined screws will attach to the light mount and go through the gray plate into the niche to secure the light mount. The fourth pan head screw will secure only the gray gasket plate.
NOTE: The niche may cause the light mount to not align straight up and down. To fix this, turn the light mount to align with the screw hole and attach.
Once the gray face plate and light mount have been attached, pull the attached cable through the light mount and conduit back to a 24v transformer.
NOTE: When wiring into the transformer, there will be a brown and blue terminal for the wires to screw into on the left side.
Attach the light to the mounting plate with the thin screws at the 1, 3, and 7 o’ clock positions. See Figure 4.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

We recommend pulling a new cable and using the PAL wires to operate the PAL AquaLumin Nicheless Replacement Pool Light. However, you can use the PAL gel kit and the existing wires to wire into the AquaLumin Nicheless Replacement Pool Light.

B. Installing Cable on AquaLumin with Gel Pack.

The PAL AquaLumin Nicheless Replacement Pool Light requires only two inputs for cable. A ground wire is not necessary.
Place the positive cable into the furthest screw from the cable entry. See Figure 5 for reference.
Place the negative cable into the closest screw from the cable entry. See Figure 5 for reference.
Watertight seals are designed to use cable and sheathing as a sealing point. Wires should be stripped back enough to make connection in the terminal block, but not so much that they are exposed when exiting the gel pack.
Use the shorter pan head screws to screw in the gel pack.
Ensure the screws are tightened evenly so that the gel pack is seated correctly.
