IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICE:

 

The external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire cannot be replaced; if 

the cord is damaged, the luminaire shall be destroyed.

     

        The MAGICFALLS

®

 with LIGHTCASCADE TECHNOLOGY™ LED light 

is a 12 VAC system. ONLY USE an approved 12 volt AC transformer, sold separately.  
When using a Junction Box, connect 12 volt AC connections to junction box 
terminals.  Never connect the light directly to high voltage lines.

Under 

no circumstances

 replace lights by splicing wire under water or 

behind niche.

                                           RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. 

Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). 
Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. 
This light fixture must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-
fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and 
should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI 
should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored.  If the GFCI 
fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the 
light without the test button being pushed, a ground current is following, indicating the 
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this light. Disconnect the light fixture and have 
the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using. Locate your 
pool so that the wall is at least 10 feet from all electrical receptacles and at least 20 feet 
from all receptacles not protected by a GFCI. It is also very important to locate the pool 
so that it is not under any electrical wiring, that is less than 18 feet vertically above the 
pool wall and within an area located 10 feet outside the pool walls. The pool must also 
never be located under any lighting fixture or within five (5) feet measured horizontally 
from any fixture mounted less than five (5) feet vertically above the pool water level.
