This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified pool professional in accordance with
the current National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA C22.1 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.
