1. 

Switch off electrical switch or circuit breaker at the source.

2.  Remove Junction Box or Transformer cover. Disconnect the light wires and attach a 

fish tape to the existing light power cord. This will assist in pulling the replacement 
light power cord through the conduit back to the junction box.

3.  Place the light installation tool over the top of the light, turn counter clockwise until 

the tabs on the bottom of the light installation tool engages the top of the light.  
Twist counter clockwise again until the light is released from the keyway on the 
niche. Pull the light straight up and remove it from the niche.

4.  Slowly pull the light and attached power cord (with attached fish tape) out of the 

niche. Pull the light’s power cord and fish tape out of the niche and place the light 
on the deck.

5.  Attach the new light power cord to the fish tape and carefully feed the fish tape and 

cable to the junction box.

6.  At the 12 VAC transformer or junction box, cut off any extra cord. Leave at least six 

(6) inches (15.2 cm) of cord in the Junction Box or transformer to facilitate the light 
installation, niche inspection. Cut off any extra cord.

7.  Strip back three (3) inches of the outer cord jacket to expose the two insulated 

wires (be careful not to damage the insulation on the two (2) inner wires). Strip 
back the two conductors. Be careful not to damage the copper conductor.

8.  Connect both (2) wires to the corresponding circuit wires in the Junction Box or 12 

Volt AC Transformer (black wire to power, white wire to common) and secure the 
Junction Box cover in place.

9.  Test and confirm LED – Light Head is working prior to locking into waterfall niche.

10.  Using supplied O-ring lubricant; apply the lubricant to both O-ring’s on the outside 

of light and  corresponding socket. 

Note: The light wil NOT install without the 

lubricant.

11.  Place the light installation tool over the top of the light, insert the light using 

pressure until the keys on the light press into the keyway, then twist and lock 
turning clock-wise 90 degrees until you feel the stop point. This indicates the light 
is properly seated, locked and the niche is completely sealed. Note: If the light 
does not turn smoothly, pull the light slightly out and make sure that it’s seated 
properly and the niche is free of debris, then reinstall install the light. 

Note: If the 

MagicFalls LED light assembly is not seated properly in the niche it will leak 

water down into the electrical conduit.

12.  Switch on the main switch or circuit breaker to the 12 VAC transformer and the 

switch that operates the MagicFalls LED light itself. The light should illuminate 
when the 12 VAC power is applied. If not recheck the installation steps.
