Operating AmerBrite White LED Lamps Using a Wall Switch
The AmerBrite white LED lamp can be manually controlled using a standard wall-mount
light switch. AmerBrite lamps are controlled by cycling AC power from a standard wall
switch. Multiple AmerBrite lamps can be connected via a junction box to a single switch
so that all lamps can be switched on and off together.
Operating AmerBrite White LED Lamps Using a Control System
AmerBrite lamps can also be automatically controlled using the Pentair IntelliTouch
®
EasyTouch
®
and SunTouch
®
Control System. For more information refer to the
IntelliTouch Control System User’s Guide (P/N 521075), EasyTouch Control System
User’s Guide (P/N 521044), and SunTouch
®
Control System User’s Guide (P/N 520785).
Using an External Transformer for Multiple 12 VAC AmerBrite Lamps
When using a 300 Watt UL Listed transformer (set at 14 VAC) with multiple 12 VAC
AmerBrite lamps, it is recommended that no more than four (4) AmerBrite lamps be used
with a maximum of 75 feet 12 gauge cable run, between the transformer and the junction
box. There should be no more than 45 feet of cable between the junction box and the
AmerBrite lamp. This will ensure that the AmerBrite lamps receive a minimum operating
power of 9.5 VAC.

Note: If a longer cable run is
necessary, it is recommended
that separate 300 Watt
transformers be used for each
lamp with no more than 120 feet
of total cable run between the
transformer and lights.
