Install fixture in a vertical pool or spa wall – not in floor. Failure to install the fixture properly could result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the swimming pool that is not used for swimming and the lens is
adequately guarded to keep any person from contacting it, the fixture shall be installed in or on the wall of the pool with
the top of the lens not less then 18 in. below the normal water level of the pool; see Figure 1.

At least 4’ from the perimeter of the pool (unless separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other
permanent structure,
•
At least 8” above maximum water level,
•
At least 4” above the deck or ground level.
Junction boxes should be located off the walkway around the pool and given additional protection by installing them next
to a fence, building, or other permanent structure. Make sure that the installation is in compliance with local codes, and
the NEC.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and an appropriately rated circuit breaker shall be installed in the branch
circuit supplying power to fixtures so that there is no shock hazard during re-lamping.
