GLOBRITE™ COLOR 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 7.
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 lighting circuit has a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for 120
VAC line voltage models, and has an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
The conductors on the load side of the GFCI circuit shall not occupy
conduit, boxes, or enclosures containing other conductors unless the
additional conductors are also protected by a GFCI. Refer to current
local codes for complete details.
• The Junction Box and the low voltage transformer is located at least
eight (8) inches (20.3 cm) above ground level and at least 48 inches
(1.22 m) from the edge of the pool. See Figure 1 on page 7.
• The GloBrite color light niche must be properly installed so that the top
edge of the lens of the GloBrite color 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 COLOR LIGHT SLEEVE AND NICHE
(AFTER ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
There are three types of GloBrite Color Light niches for pool or spa:
Concrete/gunite, fiberglass or vinyl liner.
Note: The GloBrite color 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 color light can also be installed in
the bottom of the pool.
