Section 2: Replacing light fixture in existing pools
B. Replacing light fixture after electrical system requirements are met
1. Turn off main electrical switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch which operates the
Nicheless Light.
WARNING: Failure to bring the pool's electrical system up to code requirements
before installing this AquaLumin
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.
2. To remove light assembly, remove captive screw at top of housing, remove light assembly
from mounting bracket, and place assembly on deck. Take care not to scratch the lens.
3. Remove junction box cover, disconnect the light fixture wires, and pull the cord through the
conduit.
4. Feed the new light fixture cord through the conduit from the AquaLumin III pool light fixture
to the junction box.
NOTE: Depending on the length of the conduit, special tools may be required to pull the
cord through the conduit.
5. Wrap a length of the cord up to a maximum of eight (8) feet long on the back of the light
assembly. Wind a minimum of three (3) wraps of cord so that the last wrap stops at the top
of the light. This extra cord allows you to bring the light out of the pool for installation of a
new lamp and for servicing.
NOTE: Leave 2" to 3" of slack cord at the top so that the light may be tipped back for
removal.
6. Feed the remaining cord through the conduit hole in the mounting hub. Place hook
mounting bracket over pin on the bottom of the mounting bracket and press down lightly to
secure into place. Secure at top of the light with the captive screw.
7. Cut the cord at the junction box, leaving at least six (6) inches of cord to make
connections.
8. Strip six (6) inches of the outer cord jacket from the cord to expose the three insulated
wires. Be careful not to damage the insulation on the three inner wires.
9. Connect cord to electrical wires at Junction Box, be sure not to pull the three (3) inches of
slack cord at the back of the light through the conduit when connecting the wires. All wiring
should be connected to a Class A GFCI in accordance with electrical codes, see Section
2.A.1.a on page 7.
10.
Connect all three wires to the corresponding circuit wires in the junction box and secure the
junction box cover in place.
11.
Before operating the light for more than 10 seconds, fill pool until the AquaLumin III pool
light is completely submerged in water. To check for proper operation, turn on main switch
or circuit breaker, as well as the switch which operates the Nicheless Light.
