III Nicheless Pool Light Installation Guide
WARNING
Never operate this AquaLumin
®
III Nichless Pool Light for more than 10
seconds unless it is totally submerged in water. Without total submersion, the light assembly
will get extremely hot, which may result in serious burns or in breakage of the lamp or lens.
This may result in serious injury to pool users, installer, or bystanders, or in damage to property.
WARNING
Use only the special stainless steel pilot screw (see
Light Assembly
Parts
, item 4, on page 14) provided with this Nicheless Light. This screw mounts and electri-
cally grounds the housing securely to the AquaLumin
®
III pool light fixture. Failure to use the
screw provided could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury
to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.
1.
Turn off main electrical switch or circuit breaker as well as the switch which operates the
Nicheless Light.
2.
Unscrew the captive screw on the top of the light, then tilt the top of the light out from the
wall and lift the bottom of the light out of the bracket. Unwind the excess cable that is
stored in the back of the light.
3.
Place the light face down on the deck on a flat soft clean surface. Take care not to scratch
the lens.
4.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) all ten 10 screws on the back of
the light.
5.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two (2) screws located at the TOP
(12 o'clock) and BOTTOM (6 o'clock) on the back of the light.
6.
While holding the glass lens and plastic face ring, turn the light over. Rotate the face ring
in a counter-clockwise direction such that the heads of the sealing screws align with the
large circular holes of the keyways slots. Lift the plastic face ring away from the housing to
remove the lens and lens gasket.
7.
To remove the lens and lens gasket, gently pull on the tabs located around the perimeter of
the lens gasket. This will allow air to enter the housing and will assist with removal of the
lens.
