Section 3: Replacing a lamp only
WARNING: Be sure power is OFF before installing or removing lamp. Allow lamp to cool
before relamping. This light fixture uses a Halogen Quartz lamp. Do Not touch lamp with bare
hands, this may severely reduce its life. Use the plastic furnished with the replacement lamp to
eliminate finger prints from getting on lamp.

8. To remove the lamp:

a. Place the light in front of you so that the captive screw hole is at the top, and the lamp
is in a horizontal position.
b. Grasp the lamp on the right side.
c. Push the lamp to the left, compressing the spring in the spring loaded lamp socket,
until the right side of the lamp comes free from the fixed socket end.
9. Install the new lamp by performing step 8, a through c, in reverse order. NOTE: Select
proper lamp for either 12 volt or 120 volt applications. Take care not to touch the halogen
bulb with bare hands.
WARNING Always install a new lens gasket, part number 619599Z, whenever
reassembling the light. Failure to do so may permit water to leak into the assembly which
could cause; (a) an electrical hazard resulting in death or serious injury to pool users,
installer, or others due to electrical shock, or (b) breakage of the lamp or lens, which
likewise could result in serious injury to pool user, installers, or bystanders, or in damage
to property.
10. Never reuse the old lens gasket when reassembling the light. Replace the old lens gasket
with a new genuine Pentair Aquatic Systems AquaLumin
619599Z), provided in the Bulb Replacement Kit. The orientation of the tabs on the lens
gasket is not important.
11. Replace the eight (8) sealing screws left in the face ring with eight (8) new sealing screws
provided in the Bulb Replacement Kit. NOTE: Install the new sealing screws in the same
location as those removed, leaving "TOP" (12 o'clock) and "BOTTOM" (6 o'clock) open.
12. Reinstall the lens gasket, lens and plastic face ring. While replacing the lens, be sure the
tabs around the perimeter of the lens gasket are not under the flange of the lens. Orientate
the lens so that the word "TOP" is aligned with the captive screw hole. When reinstalling
the plastic face ring, align the heads of the sealing screws with the large circular holes of
the keyway slots. Press down on the plastic face ring and rotate in the clockwise direction
until the sealing screws interfere with the housing (at the end of the slot).
