IntelliBrite® 5G Pool and Spa Lights Overview

This manual describes how to install the IntelliBrite 5G white and color pool light and the IntelliBrite 5G white and color spa light. The IntelliBrite 5G white light provides a brilliant white light for a spectacular effect in your pool and spa. The IntelliBrite 5G white light lens geometry (pool light only) provides a choice between two light beam shapes; wider coverage with less intensity, or narrower coverage with more intensity. The IntelliBrite 5G color light provides brilliant vivid multi-colors with spectacular effects for your pool and spa. Choose one of the seven pre-programmed color light shows or select one of the five fixed colors to create virtually endless range of dramatic underwater lighting effects for a spectacular effect in your pool and spa.

Operating Pool and Spa Lights Using a Wall Switch (12 VAC)

IntelliBrite 5G pool and spa lights can be manually controlled using a standard wall-mount light switch. Multiple IntelliBrite lights can be connected via a junction box to a single switch so that all lights can be switched on and off together. IntelliBrite lights can also be automatically controlled via Pentair IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch® and SunTouch® Control Systems. Note: Multiple IntelliBrite 5G pool/spa lights can also be controlled using the IntelliBrite Controller, for more information see page 2.
Using an External Transformer for Multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC Lights
When using multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC lights on a 300 Watt transformer, it is recommended that no more than three IntelliBrite pool lights and one (1) IntelliBrite Spa light be used. It is also recommended not to exceed 100 feet of total cable run between the transformer and light. Note: For long cable lengths, set transformer to 14 VAC
(see diagrams below). Powering on IntelliBrite® 5G Color Lights
When the IntelliBrite light is powered on, a momentarily white light will illuminate, followed by the previously selected color. Note: If power to the light is off for more than five (5) seconds, the last color show mode or fixed color that was saved will be displayed.
Selecting a light show mode or fixed color
Switch power on to the light. A white light will momentarily illuminate, followed by the previously selected color. To select a color show mode (1-7) or fixed color (8-12), turn the wall switch off/on a specific number of times. Each number (1-12) shown below corresponds to the number of times to power- cycle the switch to activate a color light show or fixed color. For details about saving color effects while in “show” modes, see “Hold” and “Recall” feature on page 4. Example: To select California Sunset Mode; turn the light on, then turn off and on six times. During the off/on switching process, no illumination will occur, SAm Mode: Cycles through white, magenta, blue and green colors (emulates the Pentair SAm® color changing light).
Party Mode: Rapid color changing building energy and excitement.
Romance Mode: Slow color transitions creating a mesmerizing and calming effect.
Caribbean Mode: Transitions between a variety of blues and greens.
