a. The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage 120 volt
models, and must have an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
b. The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) must be located at least
eight (8) inches above water level, at least four (4) inches above ground level, and at least four (4)
feet from the edge of the pool or spa; see Figure 1 for pools and Figure 2 for spas.
c. The light fixture and all metal items within five (5) feet of the pool or spa must be properly
electrically bonded to a reliable point of grounding.
d. The wet niche must be 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 or spa; see Figure 1 or 2. (Not more than
48 inch depth in Canada.)
e. The wet niche must be properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground
connector located at the rear of the niche; see Figure 1 or 2.
Section 3. Installing Jandy Light Fixture during New Construction
3.1 Preparing the Light Fixture for Installation
NOTE The electrician must complete preparatory steps before light fixture is installed; see Figure 1 (or Figure 2, for
spa).
1. Ensure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code and all local
codes and ordinances. A licensed or certifi ed 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 or spa’s electrical systems must meet, are as follows:
a. The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage 120 volt
models, and must have an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
b. The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) must be located at least
eight (8) inches above water level, at least four (4) inches above ground level, and at least four (4)
feet from the edge of the pool or spa; see Figure 1 for pools and Figure 2 for spas.
c. The light fixture and all metal items within five (5) feet of the pool or spa must be properly
electrically bonded to a reliable point of grounding.
d. The wet niche must be 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 or spa; see Figure 1 or 2. (Not more than
48 inch depth in Canada.)
e. The wet niche must be properly electrically bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground
connector located at the rear of the niche; see Figure 1 or 2.
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 local distribution. The electrical system inspection using this kit must be performed by
trained and certified personnel.
