IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified
electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
This light must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the
reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is
defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the light without the test button being pushed, a ground
current is following, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this light. Disconnect
the light and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Locate your pool so that the wall is at least 10 feet (3.048 m) from all electrical receptacles and at
least 20 feet (6.1 m) from all receptacles not protected by a GFCI. It is also very important to
locate the pool so that it is not under any electrical wiring, that is less than 18 feet (5.49 m)
vertically above the pool wall and within an area located 10 feet outside the pool walls. The pool
must also never be located under any lighting fixture or within five (5) feet (1.5 m) measured
horizontally from any fixture mounted less than five (5) feet (1.5 m) vertically above the pool
water level.
NOTICE: The external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire cannot be replaced; if the
cord is damaged, the luminaire shall be destroyed.
THE GLOBRITE™ COLOR LED LIGHT AND PLASTIC NICHE FORM A
COMPLETE NON-METALLIC LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING SYSTEM. THIS
CONFIGURATION DOES NOT REQUIRE BONDING OR GROUNDING WHEN
POWERED BY A LISTED 100 WATT OR 300 WATT TRANSFORMER (LISTED ON
PAGE 19) AND INSTALLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT NATIONAL
ELECTRIC CODE (NEC).
UNBONDED LIGHTING NEC PROVISIONS: When the UL listed non-metallic
GloBrite Color LED Light low voltage lights are used with the GloBrite light
approved niches (as listed on page 19), the current NEC provides an exception
to luminaire bonding and grounding in Article 680.6 and 680.23
POOL WATER BONDING NEC PROVISIONS :For Pool Water Bonding required by
NEC Article 680.26C, concrete pools are considered conductive (refer to 680.26
(b)(1) due to the porosity of concrete and the bonding of rebar. No additional
bonding is required.
