GLOBRITE™ LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION
The following describes how to install the GloBrite
BEFORE STARTING: The following information describes the tasks that must
be completed by the electrician before the light fixture is installed. See
Figure 1 on page 6.
Be sure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical
Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 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 Junction Box and the low voltage transformer is located at least
4 (four) inches (10.16 cm) above ground level or eight (8) inches
(20.3 cm) above maximum water level, whichever is higher. The
Junction Box must be at least 48 inches (1.22 m) from the edge of the
pool. See Figure 1 on page 7.
• The GloBrite light niche must be properly installed so that the top edge
of the lens of the GloBrite light is at least 4 inches below (not more than
48 inches below in Canada) the surface of the water in the pool or spa.
• To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building
department.
INSTALLING THE GLOBRITE LIGHT SLEEVE AND NICHE
(AFTER ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
There are three types of GloBrite LED Light niches for pool or spa:
Concrete/gunite, fiberglass or vinyl liner.
Note: The GloBrite light niche must be installed in or on the wall of the pool (or
water feature) with the top of the lens not less than 4 inches (10.2 cm) below the
normal water level of the pool. The GloBrite light can also be installed in the
bottom of the pool (facing up).
