INTELLIBRITE

® LED SPA LIGHT INSTALLATION
The following describes how to install the IntelliBrite
the installation procedure.
Installing the IntelliBrite
BEFORE STARTING: The following steps (1-6) describe the tasks that must be completed by the electrician before the
IntelliBrite ® light fixture is installed. See Figure 1 diagram.
Be sure that the pool 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 line voltage models, and has an appropriately
rated circuit breaker.
• The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) is located at least 8 inches above the
maximum water level of the pool and at least 48 inches from the edge of the pool; see Figure 1.
• The light fixture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool are properly electrically bonded.
• The wet niche is properly installed so that the top edge of the underwater light's lens is at least 18 inches below
the surface of the water in the pool/spa; see Figure 1. (Not more than 20" depth in Canada.)
• The wet niche is properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground connector located at the
rear of the niche; see Figure 1.
Note: The pool or spa electrical system can be verified with a Pool and Spa Electrical Qualification Test Kit. The
test kit is available from Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. The electrical system inspection using this kit must
be performed by trained and certified personnel.
• To be certain that the pool's electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should also
consult the local building department.
• Use only Pentair Pool Products
