MICROBRITE™ COLOR AND WHITE LED LIGHT
The following describes how to install the MicroBrite Light in a 1-1/2" wall fitting.
Note: MicroBrite lights are UL compliant for horizontal and vertical installation.
BEFORE STARTING: The following information describes the tasks that
must be completed by the electrician before the light wall fitting is installed.
See Figure 1.
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.
• To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building department.
Wall Fitting: 3.81 cm (1.5 in) PVC Pipe
For Gunite Only
NOTE: MicroBrite™Ligths are UL Approved to be installed in
a vertical position (facing up). Vertical light installation must
be installed minimum 4 inches below water level.
Vertical Light installations are recommended only in
non-occupant areas of the pool (e.g. up-lighting a
vanishing edge overspill).
