Burn hazard. This light should never be
energized while laying face down on the pool deck.
Installation of a 12 Volt transformer is required when
installing the 12 Volt model of this light. The transformer
must be located:
• at least 10’ from the pool wall,
• installed near a grounded, 3-prong, 120V, GFCI
protected outlet. If you do not have a GFCI protected
outlet, have a qualified electrician install one.
Do not use a 3-prong adapter. The adapter voids the
grounding of the system.
Do not cut the grounding pin.
Do not use an extension cord! Purchase a light with a
longer cord.
1. Be sure the power is off.
2. Place lamp housing on the deck above the niche.
Feed the cord through the back of the lamp housing
and to the conduit box. Make sure that there is
enough cord to allow the fixture to be placed on the
deck for re-lamping.
3. Make connections in the conduit box (be sure to fol-
low code requirements!). Connect the supply circuit
grounding wire (green, green and yellow, or bare
copper) to the green ground conductor from the light
fixture. Connect the line supply wire (the black or
’hot’ wire) to the black wire from the light fixture.
Connect the neutral (white) supply wire to the neutral
(white) wire from the light fixture.
4. Coil the remaining cord in the back of the niche and
place the lamp housing in the niche. The mounting
tab on the bottom of the lamp housing must be in the
notch at the bottom of the niche.
5. Fasten the lamp housing into the niche with the
captive leader screw at the top of the lamp housing
(use a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver). Tighten this screw
securely (20 inch-pounds torque) to insure good
electrical bonding.
NOTICE: The leader screw in the face ring may be
recessed.
NOTE: Do not try to loosen the strain relief (cord nut) on
the back of the lamp housing; the cord is not detachable
from the lamp housing. Attempting to loosen the strain
relief will damage the lamp housing assembly, void the
warranty and may cause an electrical shock hazard if the
pool bonding is not connected and functioning correctly
(see “General Safety”, Page 2).
