2. Cut the cord at the Junction Box, leaving at least six (6) inches of cord to make connections.
3. Strip back six (6) inches of the outer cord jacket to expose the three insulated wires (be careful not to damage
the insulation on the three (3) inner wires).
4. Connect all three (3) wires to the corresponding circuit wires in the Junction Box and secure the Junction Box
cover in place.
WARNING - Never operate this underwater light for more than ten (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 lens. This may result in serious injury to pool
users, installers, or bystanders, or in damage to property.
5. Install the IntelliBrite light assembly into the niche and tighten the special bronze pilot screw.
WARNING - Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw
mounts and electrically grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring and wet niche. 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.
6. Fill the pool until the underwater light is completely submerged in water before operating the light for more than
ten (10) seconds. To check for proper operation, switch on the main switch or circuit breaker, as well as the
switch which operates the IntelliBrite underwater light itself.

Replacing the IntelliBrite LED light assembly in an existing pool

This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman
in accordance with the National Electrical Code 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 serviceman, pool users or others due to electrical shock.

Before replacing the IntelliBrite LED light fixture

Verify that the pool 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 lighting circuit has a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage models, and has an
appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• The Junction Box (or, for 12 VAC models, the low voltage transformer) is located at least 8 inches above
ground level and at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool; see Figure 1.
• The light fixture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool are properly electrically bonded.
• The wet niche is properly installed so that the top edge of the underwater light's lens is at least 18 inches
below the surface of the water in the pool; see Figure 1.
• The wet niche is properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground connector located at
the rear of the niche; see Figure 1.
Note: The pool or spa electrical system can be verified with a Pool and Spa Electrical Qualification Test Kit.
The test kit is available from Pentair Water Pool and Spa. The electrical system inspection using this kit must
be performed by trained and certified personnel.
•. To be certain that the pool's electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should
also consult the local building department.
• Use only Pentair Water Pool and Spa wet niches to insure proper bonding and grounding connections.
DANGER! Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!
