(*) 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
521075), EasyTouch User’s Guide (P/N 521044), and SunTouch User’s Guide (P/N
520785).

Replacing the IntelliBrite 5g White Pool and Spa
Light Assembly
(in an existing pool or spa)
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 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.
3
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.
