NOTE The light fixture may be replaced without removing water from the pool or spa.
1. Turn off the main electrical switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch, which operates the
underwater light.
2. To remove the light assembly, remove the special pilot screw at top of the face ring, remove the light
assembly from the niche, and place the assembly on the deck.
WARNING
Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw mounts and
electrically grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the screw
provided could create an electrical hazard, which could result in death or serious injury to pool or spa
users, installers or others due to electrical shock.
WARNING
Never operate this underwater light for more than 10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water.
Without total submersion, the light assembly will get extremely hot, which may result in serious
burns or in breakage of the bulb or lens. This may result in serious injury to pool or spa users,
installers, or bystanders or in damage to property.
WARNING
Be sure to keep the special pilot screw from this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically
grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided
could create an electrical hazard, which could result in death or serious injury to pool or spa users,
installers or others due to electrical shock.
3. Remove Junction Box cover, disconnect the light fi xture wires and strain relief, and then pull the cord
out of the conduit from the niche.
4. Feed the new light fi xture cord through the conduit from the niche to the Junction Box.
NOTE Depending on the length of the conduit, special tools may be required to pull the cord through the conduit.
5. Leave at least 4 feet of cord to coil around the light fi xture; see Figure 1 (or Figure 2, for spa). This
allows the light to be serviced after the pool or spa is fi lled with water.
6. Cut the cord at the Junction Box, leaving at least 6 inches of cord to make connections.
7. Strip 6 inches of the outer cord jacket from the cord to expose the three insulated wires. Be careful not
to damage the insulation on the three inner wires.
8. Install the strain relief over the cord jacket and connect all three wires to the corresponding circuit
wires in the Junction Box, black wire to power, white wire to common, and green wire to ground.
Install the Junction Box cover.
9. Replace light assembly into the niche and tighten the special pilot screw.
10. Fill the pool or spa until the underwater light is completely submerged in water before operating the
light for more than 10 seconds. Turn on main switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch, which
operates the underwater light, to check for proper operation. Refer to Section 6, Operating Instructions.
