5G Pool and Spa Lights Installation and User’s Guide
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.

5G Pool and Spa
Light Assembly (in an existing pool or spa)
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:
• ThelightingcircuithasaGroundFaultCircuitInterrupter(GFCI)forlinevoltage
models, and has an appropriately rated circuit breaker.
• TheJunctionBox(or,for12 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.
• Thelightxtureandallmetalitemswithinve(5)feet(1.524m)ofthepoolare

on page 7.
• ThewetnicheisproperlyelectricallybondedandgroundedviatheNo.8AWG
ground connector located at the rear of the niche; see Figure 1 on page 7.
• To be certain that the pool’s electrical system meets all applicable
requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building
department. Note: Use only Pentair wet niches to insure proper bonding and
grounding connections.

Switch power on to the light. A white light will momentarily illuminate, followed by the pre-
viously selected color. To select a color show mode (1-7) or fixed color (8-12), turn the wall
switch off/on a specific number of times. Each number (1-12) shown below corresponds to
the number of times to power-cycle the switch to activate a color light show or fixed color.
For details about saving color effects while in “show” modes, see “Hold” and “Recall” fea-
ture on page 4. Example: To select California Sunset Mode; turn the light on, then turn off
and on six times. During the off/on switching process, no illumination will occur,
During the off/on switching process, before the selected color is displayed,
no illumination will occur for a brief second. This operating
mode is normal during the switching process. During this period the pool and spa will be
dark and precautions should be taken to avoid unforeseen accidents. Failure to observe
this warning may result in serious injury or death to pool and spa users.
Using the IntelliBrite Controller (sold separately, P/N 600054), IntelliBrite 5G color pool/spa
lights can all be synchronized so that individual or multiple IntelliBrite lights all lights can be
switched on and off together.
To select a color light show mode or fixed color mode, rotate the dial so that it points to
the desired selection.
