Verify that the pool meets the requirements of the current National Electri-
cal Code® (Canadian Electrical Code, in Canada) 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 electrical systems must meet, are as follows:
I. The junction box orthe low -voltage transformer must be located
at least eight (8) inches (measured from the inside of the bottom of
the junction box or transformer) above the MAXIMUM water level,
OR at least four (4) inches above the ground level or pool deck,
whichever is greater: The junction -box or transformer must also be
installed at least forty-eight (48) inches (4 ft.) from the edge of the
pool. See Figure 1.
2. A standard 1.5" plastic wall / return fitting (not included) must be
installed so that the top edge of the underwater Iight's lens is at least
4 inches (10.2 cm) below the surface of the water in the pool.
See Figure 1.

Underwater LED Light Operating Instructions
4.1 Light Synchronization
NOTE This section only applies to the color (RGBW) lights. All fixtures
must be tied into the same transformer, circuit or switch for
synchronization to occur.
1. Turn the light ON. If the light has been off for 7 seconds or longer, the
light will turn on at the last color selected.
2. To synchronize multiple lights to the same color mode, you will need to
reset to the beginning of the color mode sequence. With the lights ON,
turn them OFF for five (5) seconds, then turn ON again. All of the lights
will reset to the Alpine White color mode. If all of the lights are not in
the Alpine White color mode, they have not been synchronized, repeat
step 2.
4.2 Operating the Light
3. To change the color mode, tarn the light OFF for one 1-3 seconds.
Continue turning OFF and ON until.the desired light color mode is
reached. See Table I for the color mode sequence.
Example: If you followed step 3 and are now on Sky Blue and want the lights to
be Violet, then the lights must be turned off and on 7 seven times to bring you to
Violet.

Section 5, Designer Lens Options
The Designer Lenses offer a unique set of
options for the LED Series of lights. Each
one has the ability to create unique lighting
effects within the pool's interior. See the
list below to learn more about the designer
lens options.
t�.
HALF DOME - This escutcheon adds over the existing lens to allow you to
direct 1/2 the light in a direction you want. Downwards -to light a pools
interior without light shining upwards. Upwards to light a water feature
or sideways to put light where it might be needed but no where else
HALO LENS - This lens allows for gentle lighting in an area but knocks
down the center beam. This allows for installation on walls, etc. where
them might be an opposite wall, etc. where you want to eliminate
generating a "hot" spot Great general lighting but softly.
SPOT LENS - Just the opposite of the Halo. Concentrates the light and
reduces the output at wider beam angles in order to produce a spot -light
effect. Great for illuminating that special feature.
CATS EYE - This lens reduces the light to just a "slice" of light that is broad
but thin. An incredible effect for illuminating but without spilling light
all over.
DIAMOND - WOW want to really create something special? The Diamond
lens creates incredible points of light throughout the interior. The
points will be different the farther away from the light they are. Put the
LED colored light on DISCO TECH MODE AND WATCH THE FUN
BEGIN!
