Color Pool and Spa Light Installation and User’s Guide

1. 

Switch off electrical switch or circuit breaker at the source.

2.   Remove Junction Box or Transformer cover. Disconnect the light wires and 

attach a fish tape to the existing light power cord. This will assist in pulling 
the replacement light power cord through the conduit back to the junction 
box.

3.   Remove the ColorCascade light assembly from the pool or spa water:
4.   Slowly pull the light and attached power cord (with attached fish tape) out of 

the niche. Pull the light’s power cord and fish tape out of the niche and place 
the light on the deck.

5.   Attach the new light power cord to the fish tape and carefully feed the fish 

tape and cable to the junction box.

6.   Feed cord through Niche and then through conduit to Junction Box or 12 Volt 

AC Transformer. The ColorCascade light has no serviceable parts, so leave 
approximately 12 to 18 inches of cord to allow the light to be easily removed 
if replacement is required.

7.   Cut the cord at the Junction Box or 12 volt AC transformer, leaving at least 

six (6) inches of cord to make connections.

8.   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).

9.   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.

10.  Install the ColorCascade light assembly into the niche and tighten the four 

screws provided.

11.  Install the return line fitting included with the light assembly by firmly 

pressing it into the center hole. Make sure it is pressed all the way down to 
provide a smooth transition. Adjust the ball for proper water direction.

12.  Fill the pool until the underwater light is completely submerged in water 

before operating the light for more than ten (10) seconds. To check for proper 
operation, switch on the main switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch 
which operates the ColorCascade light itself. 

Proceed to next page for 

light installation instructions.  

Note: The ColorCascade light should not be 

powered for more than 30 sec if is not submersed in water.

The following removal and installation instructions describe how to remove and install the 
ColorCascade Light assembly. Also use these instructions after completing the following 
light replacement procedure.

Failure to bring the pool or spa’s electrical system up to code requirements 
before installing the underwater light 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.
