1. Turn off main electrical switch or circuit breaker.
2. Feed cord through housing and then through conduit to Junction Box or 12
Volt AC Transformer. The MagicStream
®
Laminar has no serviceable parts,
so leave approximately 3 to 4 feet of cord to allow the light to be easily
removed if replacement is required.
3. Cut the cord at the Junction Box or 12 VAC transformer, leaving at least six
(6) inches of cord to make connections.
4. Strip back three (3) inches of the outer cord jacket to expose the two
insulated wires (be careful not to damage the insulation on the two (2) inner
wires).
5. Connect both (2) wires to the corresponding circuit wires in the Junction Box
or 12 Volt AC Transformer and secure the Junction Box cover in place.
6. Install the MagicStream laminar assembly into the MagicStream laminar
housing and tighten the two screws provided.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION
Always disconnect 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 installer, serviceman, pool users, or others due to
electrical shock.
NOTE: This is a 12 Volt AC system ONLY. An approved 12 VAC
transformer (sold separately) must be used. If a Junction Box is
used, it would be for 12 VAC connections. Never wire the
MagicStream light directly to high voltage lines.
Be sure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current
National Electrical Code (N.E.C.) Article 680-22 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:
