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 is filled; reference Figure 1.
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.

NEW CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION STEPS
(ONCE ALL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
pg 3
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; reference Figure 1.
• 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; reference
Figure 1.
• Proper electrical wet niche bonding and grounding using the #8 AWG ground connector at the
rear of the niche; reference Figure 1.
