Section 3. Replacing Light Engine
(PCB)
WARNING
Always disconnect power to the color light at the
circuit breaker before servicing the light. Failure to do
so could result in death or serious injury to installer,
serviceman, pool or spa users or others due to
electrical shock.
1. Turn off the main electrical switch or circuit
breaker, as well as the switch, which operates the
underwater light.
2. Be sure to have the following items:
• A new lens gasket, P/N R0451101 for the large
light or P/N R0400501 for the small light.
• A light engine. See Table 2 for specifi cation.
WARNING
Replace light engine with the same type. Failure
to replace the light engine with the same type will
damage the light assembly and may cause an
electrical hazard resulting in death or serious injury
to pool or spa users, installers, or others due to
electrical shock, and may also cause damage to
property. Be sure the power is switched OFF before
removing or installing PCB. Allow PCB to cool before
replacing. .
3. To remove the light assembly, unscrew the special
pilot screw at the top of the face ring, remove light
assembly from niche and gently place assembly
on the deck. It is not necessary to drain down the
pool. See Figure 1.

a. If not already done, remove the gasket from the
glass lens and install a new gasket, P/N R0451101
for the large light and R0400501 for the small
light, on the lens. On the small light, remove the
diverger from the lens.
b. While holding the fixture upright, place the glass
lens with the gasket on top of the fixture. Please
note that the lens gasket is not symmetrical.
Therefore, it must be installed correctly so that
the lens can seal to the fixture housing. Place the
gasket on the lens so that the thick molded side
of the gasket will mate with the housing when the
lens is installed.
See Figure 4. On the small light,
replace the diverger by tucking the tabs between
the lens and gasket.
c. Position the lens and gasket on the fixture. Place
the face ring assembly over the lens and align the
pilot screw with the small arrow mark on the face
of the lens. Note that the small arrow mark on the
face of the lens and the pilot screw of the face ring
must be aligned with the arrow located on fixture
label that reads, “Arrow on this label must line up
with the pilot screw on the Face Ring”. See
Figure 5.
6. Reassemble the fi xture.
a. If not already done, remove the gasket from the
glass lens and install a new gasket, P/N R0451101
for the large light and R0400501 for the small
light, on the lens. On the small light, remove the
diverger from the lens.
NOTE A new lens gasket must be used each time the
light is reassembled.

WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution. Always
install a new lens gasket whenever disassembling
the light (Jandy Color Light Gasket P/N R0451101 for
large light and P/N R0400501 for small light). Failure
to do so may permit water to leak into the assembly,
which could cause:
(a) An electrical hazard resulting in death or serious
injury to pool or spa users, installers, or others due to
electrical shock, or
(b) A malfunction of the Jandy WaterColors Light,
which likewise could result in serious injury to pool or
spa users, installers, or bystanders, or in damage to
property.
b. While holding the fixture upright, place the glass
lens with the gasket on top of the fixture. Please
note that the lens gasket is not symmetrical.
Therefore, it must be installed correctly so that
the lens can seal to the fixture housing. Place the
gasket on the lens so that the thick molded side
of the gasket will mate with the housing when the
lens is installed.
replace the diverger by tucking the tabs between
the lens and gasket.
NOTE Be sure to face the dull side of the diverger
down towards the PCB.
c. Position the lens and gasket on the fixture. Place
the face ring assembly over the lens and align the
pilot screw with the small arrow mark on the face
of the lens. Note that the small arrow mark on the
face of the lens and the pilot screw of the face ring
must be aligned with the arrow located on fixture
label that reads, “Arrow on this label must line up

d. While holding the aligned face ring assembly and
fixture together, turn the assembly upside down
and set it on the old gasket, using the old gasket
as an assembly fixture. This will keep the lens and
gasket assembly from being pushed out of the face
ring while you secure it to the light fixture.
e. Spread the bottom clamp over the electrical cord
and slide it onto the back of fixture to the top
clamp.
f. Tighten the Phillips head screws (eight (8) for
large light and six (6) for small light) on the color
light in alternating cross-pattern. Torque screws to
approximately 20 in-lbs. Do not over-tighten.
g. Discard the old gasket.
a. Coil the extra four (4) feet of cord around the
fixture or into the base of the niche and place the
light assembly into the niche.
b. Engage the retainer tab on the bottom of the face
ring, then pivot the top of the fixture inward and
tighten the special pilot screw.

WARNING
Use only the special pilot screw provided with this
underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically
grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring
and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided
could create an electrical hazard, which could result
in death or serious injury to pool or spa users,
installers or others due to electrical shock.
8. If pool is empty, fi ll the pool until the underwater
light is completely submerged in water before
operating the light for more than 10 seconds. Turn
on main switch or circuit breaker, as well as the
switch, which specifi cally operates the underwater
light, to check for proper operation.
7. Reinstall the Jandy Light into niche fi xture.
a. Coil the extra four (4) feet of cord around the
fixture or into the base of the niche and place the
light assembly into the niche.
b. Engage the retainer tab on the bottom of the face
ring, then pivot the top of the fixture inward and
tighten the special pilot screw.

WARNING
Never operate this underwater light for more than
10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water.
Without total submersion, the light assembly will get
extremely hot, which may result in serious burns or in
damage to the light. This may result in serious injury
to pool or spa users, installers, or bystanders or in
damage to property.
