(*) Note: Wet-niche luminaires complying with requirements for both uses may bare
both the Listed Wet-Niche Submersible Luminaires UL Mark. A luminaire not bearing
the corresponding UL Listing Mark is not considered by UL to have been produced
under UL’s Listing and Follow-Up Service for the associated usage location.
CAUTION - The Pentair IntelliBrite light fixture must only be used with Pentair Water
Pool and Spa fixture housings (niches). If the IntelliBrite light fixture is installed into
other niches, the installation will not carry U.L. approval and will void all warranties.
NOTICE: The external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire cannot be replaced; if
the cord is damaged, the luminaire shall be destroyed.
For countries in compliance with International Electromechnical
Commission (IEC) regulatory standards: The light fixture must be
installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool service person, in
accordance with IEC 364-7-702 and all applicable local codes and ordinance. Improper
installation will create an electrical hazard, which could result in death or serious injury
to pool user, installer or other due to electrical shock and may also cause damage to the
property.
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required
for proper operation of an electronic chlorine generator are relatively
low when compared to sea water and other salt solutions, placing any amount of salt in
your pool increases the likelihood of corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment
and any surfaces used in and around your pool. Metal parts and certain natural and
man-made surfaces are particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when
used in and around salt water pools. Pentair Water Pool and Spa does not represent or
otherwise guarantee that the proper use of an electronic chlorine generator will prevent
corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment and any surfaces used in and around
your pool. Consult your experienced pool professional, who should be able to advise
you on the proper material selection, installation techniques for those materials, and the
proper use, care and maintenance of those materials for your specific pool type and
location in order to minimize the corrosion and deterioration that is inherent in and
around salt water pools.

IntelliBrite® 5g White Pool and Spa Lights Overview
This manual describes how to install the IntelliBrite 5g white underwater pool light and
the white spa light. The IntelliBrite white lights provides brilliant white light for a
spectacular effect in your pool and spa. The unique IntelliBrite 5g pool light lens
geometry (pool light only) provides a choice between two light beam shapes; wider
coverage with less intensity, or narrower coverage with more intensity. For more
information, see page 14.
Operating Pool and Spa Lights Using a Wall Switch (12 VAC)
The white pool and spa lights can be manually controlled using a standard wall-mount
light switch. Multiple IntelliBrite lights can be connected via a junction box to a single
switch so that all lights can be switched on and off together. IntelliBrite lights can also be
automatically controlled via Pentair IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch® and SunTouch
automation systems. For more information refer to the IntelliTouch User’s Guide (P/N
Using an External Transformer for Multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC Lights
When using multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC lights on a 300 Watt transformer, it is
recommended that no more than three IntelliBrite pool lights and one (1) IntelliBrite Spa
light be used. It is also recommended not to exceed 100 feet of total cable run between
the transformer and light. Note: For long cable lengths, set transformer to 14 VAC (see

IntelliBrite® 5g White Pool Light and White Spa Light Installation and User’s Guide
This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with
the National Electrical Code 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 serviceman, pool users or others due
to electrical shock.
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 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 eight (8) inches (20.3 cm) above ground level and at least
48 inches (1.219 m) from the edge of the pool; see Figure 1 on page 7.
•The light fixture and all metal items within five (5) feet (1.524 m) 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;
see Figure 1 on page 7.
•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
on page 7.

Note: The pool and spa electrical system can be verified with a Pool
and Spa Electrical Qualification Test Kit. The test kit is available from
Pentair. The electrical system inspector 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 wet niches to insure proper bonding and
grounding connections.
