lighting circuit with an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• A junction box or low voltage transformer is located at least 8 inches above the maximum
pool water level and at least 48 inches from the pool edge; reference Figure 1.
• Proper electrical bonding of the light xture and all metal items within 5 feet of the pool
• Proper wet niche installation with the top edge of the underwater light’s lens at least
18 inches below the surface of the water in the pool and not more than 20” in Canada;
reference Figure 1.
• Proper electrical wet niche bonding and grounding using the #8 AWG ground connector
at the rear of the niche; reference Figure 1.
