Verify that the pool and spa meets the requirements of the current National
Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed or certified
electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the underwater light is installed. Some of the requirements
of the National Electrical Code which the pool’s electrical system must meet are
as follows:
•
The Junction Box and the low voltage transformer is located at least
4 (four) inches (10.16 cm) above ground level or eight (8) inches
(20.3 cm) above maximum water level, whichever is higher. The Junction Box
must be at least 48 inches (123 cm) from the edge of the pool. See Figure 1
on page 4.
• The MicroBrite light wall fitting must be properly installed so that the top
edge of the lens of the MicroBrite light is at least 4 inches (10.16 cm) below
(not more than 48 inches (123.cm) below in Canada) the surface of the water
in the pool or spa. See Figure 2 on page 5.
• To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building
department.
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!
This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with
the current National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA C22.1 and all applicable
local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an
electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to
pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock, and may
also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit
breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result
in death or serious injury to service person, pool users or others
due to electrical shock.
