OPERATION FOR 120VAC AND 12VAC

Purewhite pool Incandescent lights are operated through the light’s switch. No special controller or interface is required. Use a junction box to connect and operate multiple lights with a single switch.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION (NEW POOL AND/OR SPA CONSTRUCTION)

The following steps detail installation of the Purewhite® Incandescent light fixture into a new pool or spa construction. Read this section in its entirety prior to beginning any installation.
INSTALLER NOTICE: A licensed electrician must complete the following steps prior to installation of this light in a new pool or spa construction.
WARNING! Confirm that the pool or spa meets all current National Electrical Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 requirements and any applicable local codes or ordinances. The electrical system must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician to meet or exceed those requirements prior to installation of the light. This includes, but is not limited to, the following National Electrical Code requirements:

• Installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage models on the lighting circuit with an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• A junction box or low voltage transformer is located at least 8 inches above the maximum pool water level and at least 48 inches from the pool edge.
• Proper electrical bonding of the light fixture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool
• Proper wet niche installation with the top edge of the underwater light’s lens at least 18 inches below the surface of the water in the pool and not more than 20” in Canada;
•  Proper electrical wet niche bonding and grounding using the #8 AWG ground connector at the rear of the niche.

NEW CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION STEPS
(ONCE ALL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)

1. Feed the fixture cord through the conduit to the junction box. Be sure to leave at least four (4) feet of cord at base of the fixture to coil around the light to ensure ease of servicing once the pool and/or spa is filled.

2. At the junction box, cut the cord. Be sure to leave at least six (6) inches of cord for making connections.

3. Carefully strip the outer cord jacket to expose six (6) inches of the underlying three insulated wires.

4. Connect these three (3) wires to their corresponding junction box circuit wires and secure the junction box cover in place.
   WARNING! Do not operate this light for more than two minutes without completely submerging it in water. Failure to do so can result in permanent damage to the light. If the light is operating without being fully submerged in water, the light’s circuitry will automatically shut down for a cooling period before powering back on within 10 minutes to prevent damage to the light.

5. Using the stainless steel pilot screw provided, install the Purewhite® Incandescent light fixture assembly into the niche, carefully tighten the pilot screw.
   WARNING! Use only the stainless steel pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This special pilot screw secures and electrically grounds the fixture to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to install the stainless steel pilot screw provided could create an electrical shock hazard, resulting in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others.

6. Fill the pool and/or spa to completely submerge the light prior to operating the light. Do not operate light out of water, this may cause damage to the light.

7. Make a final check to confirm proper light operation by switching “on” the main switch or circuit breaker and the light switch. The light should illuminate when power is switched “on”. If the light is not operating, go back to Step 1 to recheck each installation step for proper completion.

INSTALLATION (EXISTING POOL AND/OR SPA)

Danger – Risk of electrical shock or electrocution!
Installation of this light must be completed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation may result in death or serious injury to pool and spa users, installers or others due to electrical shock. In addition, improper installation may cause property damage.
Always disconnect power to the pool and/or spa light at the circuit breaker panel before attempting to service the light. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death due to electrical shock. Confirm that the pool or spa meets the current National Electrical Code requirements and any applicable local codes or ordinances. The electrical system must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician to meet or exceed those requirements prior to installation of the light. This includes, but is not limited to, the following National Electrical Code requirements:

• Installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage models on the lighting circuit with an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• A junction box or low voltage transformer is located at least 8 inches above the maximum pool water level and at least 48 inches from the pool edge.
• Proper electrical bonding of the light fixture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool.
• Proper wet niche installation with the top edge of the underwater light’s lens at least 18 inches below the surface of the water in the pool and not more than 20” in Canada.
• Proper electrical wet niche bonding and grounding using the #8 AWG ground connector at the rear of the niche.
• The wet niche is properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground connector located at the rear of the niche.

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION STEPS
(ONCE ALL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
The following steps detail installation of the Purewhite® Incandescent light fixture into an existing pool or spa. Read this section in its entirety prior to beginning any installation.
WARNING! Pool or spa electrical system must meeting current code requirements.
Failure to bring the pool or spa electrical system up to current code requirements prior to light installation may create an electrical shock hazard resulting in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause property damage.
WARNING! Use only the stainless steel screw provided with this underwater light.
This special pilot screw secures and electrically grounds the fixture to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to install the stainless steel pilot screw provided could create an electrical shock hazard, resulting in death or serious injury to pool and spa users, installers or others.

1. Disconnect the main electrical switch or circuit breaker and the switch which operates the installed light.

2. Remove the existing light per the original manufacturer’s instructions. Place the light fixture on the deck. 3. Leaving the light fixture on the deck, cut the light cord. Be sure to leave at least six (6) inches of cord in order to connect it to the replacement light cord. Discard the light fixture.
   INSTALLER NOTICE: This light’s external cord cannot be replaced and should be handled with care. Any damage to this external cord necessitates replacing the light.

3. Remove the existing cord by pulling it up out of the niche and onto the deck. Carefully strip the outer cord jacket to expose six (6) inches of the underlying three insulated wires.

4. Tape the three existing light wires to the replacement light cord with electrical insulating tape. Avoid wrapping too much tape around the cords. Otherwise, the thickness will be too great for the cord to be able to be pulled through the conduit to the junction box.

5. After removing the junction box cover, disconnect the light fixture wires. Then, pull the cord through the conduit until it is visible in the junction box conduit. Remove the tape from the cords and separate the wires.

6. Carefully strip the outer cord jacket from the new light cord to expose six (6) inches of the underlying three insulated wires.

7. Connect these three (3) wires to their corresponding junction box circuit wires and secure the junction box cover in place.

8. Be sure to leave at least four (4) feet of cord at base of the fixture to coil around the light to ensure ease of servicing.

9. Install the Purewhite® Incandescent light fixture into the niche.

10. Using the stainless steel pilot screw provided, install the Purewhite® Incandescent light fixture assembly into the niche, carefully tightening the pilot screw.

11. Make a final check to confirm proper light operation by switching “on” the main switch or circuit breaker and the light switch. The light should illuminate when power is switched “on”. If the light is not operating, go back to Step 1 to recheck each installation step for proper completion.
