Section 8. Twelve (12) Volt Installation

A separate 12-Volt AC Transformer is required on all 12-Volt Models--For 

Jandy Pool Light

 use a 300-watt 

multi tap 12-volt system.  For the 

Jandy Spa Light

, a 100 watt 12-volt system is acceptable.  To ensure 

maximum safety, it is strongly recommended that a transformer that has been listed or recognized by a 
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) for the application be used.

NOTE 

  Jandy does not recommend installing 12-volt lights with cord lengths greater than 50 feet.  A significant 

voltage drop will occur that dramatically reduces the light output and possibly unit failure.  Wires from 
Transformer to Junction Box can reduce voltage and brilliance in addition to losses in the12 gauge 12-volt 
cord.  Refer to chart below for wire voltage losses and potential effect.
