Installation Notes
This light should be installed by a qualified pool professional or licensed electrician. Pool and spa lighting involves electrical work near water and must follow all applicable electrical codes, manufacturer instructions, bonding requirements, grounding requirements, transformer requirements, and junction box placement rules.
Before installation, verify that the spa is designed for a compatible 12V spa light, that the existing niche is suitable, and that the 100-foot cord is the correct length for the installation. Do not connect this light directly to line voltage. It must be powered through a properly rated 12V pool/spa light transformer.
Turn off all power before servicing or replacing pool and spa lighting equipment.
