REPLACING THE GLOBRITE
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!
This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with
the current National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA C22.1 and all applicable
local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an
electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to
pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock, and may
also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit
breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result
in death or serious injury to service person, pool users or others
due to electrical shock.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THE GLOBRITE LED LIGHT IS A NON-
SERVICEABLE LIGHT. THE COMPLETE LIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST
BE REPLACED.
Verify that the pool and spa meets the requirements of the current
National Electrical Code 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 2 on page 8.
• The GloBrite light niche must be properly installed so that the top edge
of the lens of the GloBrite 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. See Figure 2 on page 8.
• To be certain that the pool or spa electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building
department.
