Step 1: Running the Cable
With the niche now installed, it is time to run the wiring cable from the LED light to the junction box
or low voltage transformer. Note that the maximum cable length between the Water Bowl niche and
the low voltage transformer should not exceed 150 feet. Cable runs that are 100 feet or less should
use 14 gauge wire and more than 100 feet should use 12 gauge wire. Feed the cable through the
electrical line until you have about 12-24 inches of service loop in the niche. At the junction box/
transformer, cut the extra cord leaving enough for wiring.
If using an optional junction box - run the cable from the junction box to the low voltage transformer.
Cut the extra cord at both the junction box and the transformer leaving enough for wiring.
Run the cable from the power source – either a manual wall switch or an Omni control relay – to the
low voltage transformer. Cut the extra cord at both ends leaving enough for wiring.
Step 2: Junction Box Wiring (optional)
A junction box is useful if multiple Water Bowl LED Lights will be
wired together. To make connections easier, it is recommended
to use Wago 221 Series lever nuts (pictured in graphic to the
right) but standard electrical wire nuts can also be used.
Step 3: Low Voltage Transformer Wiring
Refer to the following graphic when using a Hayward 300W transformer. For other transformers,
refer to their included instructions. Be sure to follow all NEC and local codes when wiring.
