installation ensuring this location is not more than 600mm below top of coping.

• Mark this position and using a 2.5” (63.5mm) holesaw drill a hole in the breglass pool wall
that will allow the light to be tted.

• Remove the 2” BSP threaded nut, ange (outer) & outer gasket from the lights niche body and
the 20m power cable.

• Thread the 20m power cable from the inside of the breglass pool through to the outside of
the pool and insert the pool light niche body into the 2.5” (63.5mm) hole.

Note: The inner gasket must be positioned between the pool light lens and the breglass pool
surface.

• Thread the 20m power cable into the outer gasket, ange and 2” BSP nut and install on
the exposed threaded light niche body. Tighten the 2” nut sufciently to ensure the light
assembly is properly secured to the breglass pool wall and will not leak water.

Note: Inspect and repair as necessary the breglass pool walls to ensure the inner & outer
gaskets are able to provide a water tight seal.
