DESCRIPTION
The L1C underwater light is a heavy-duty submersible light for
illuminating fountains, reflecting pools, and ponds. The light
features a stainless-steel case, a cast brass rock guard, and a 250-
watt, high-output tungsten halogen lamp. The low-profile design
of the L1C enables it to be placed in water as shallow as 6 inches.
The L1C includes a swivel base, which allows easy placement of
the light in a pond or fountain.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the light to a
properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Never remove or
disable the grounding pin of the cord plug.
The National Electric Code and many local building codes require
the use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the branch
circuit supplying fountain equipment rated above 15 volts.
