Color LED Pool and Spa Light Overview
This manual describes how to install and replace the ColorCascade
®
Color LED Light.
The ColorCascade light provides brilliant vivid multi-colors along with spectacular lighting
and underwater “bubbling” effects for your pool and spa. The energy efficient colored array
utilizes IntelliBrite
®
Color LED Light technology and can cycle through colors at varying
speeds and in different sequences of colors. Choose one of the seven pre-programmed
color light shows or select one of the five fixed colors to create virtually endless range of
dramatic underwater lighting effects for a spectacular effect in your pool and spa.
If multiple LED lighting are being used, it is recommended that these lights be run
independent of each other, using a separate transformer for each group or type of light.
Otherwise all lights connected to the same transformer will be working together.
The ColorCascade light can be controlled using a standard wall-mount light switch.
Multiple ColorCascade lights can be connected via a junction box to a single switch so that
all lights can be switched on and off together. The lights are controlled by cycling the AC
power to the 12 VAC power supply and from there to the lights from a standard wall switch.
By turning the switch OFF and ON a specific number of times, the light activates one of
the three light show modes or locks a chosen color.

Operating Modes (Standard and IntelliBrite)
Operating ColorCascade Lights Using a Wall Switch
There are two operating settings within the ColorCascade light, Standard Mode and
IntelliBrite Mode. The default factory setting is IntelliBrite Mode. Use the Standard Mode
setting if you wish to operate the bubbler differently than your other pool lights to make the
water feature stand out and contrast. If there is a ColorCascade light model installed in
your pool or spa that does not support the IntelliBrite Mode feature, you will need to reset
the ColorCascade light to Standard Mode to match the existing set up, see page 5. To
access the Standard Mode setting, you must cycle the power to the ColorCascade light
with 16 off/on sequences. To return to the IntelliBrite Mode setting, cycle the power 17
off/on sequences.
ColorCascade lights can also be automatically controlled via Pentair IntelliTouch
®
and
EasyTouch
®
Control Systems, utilizing the IntelliBrite “Circuit Function”. For more
information refer to the IntelliTouch Control System User’s Guide (P/N 521075),
EasyTouch Control System User’s Guide (P/N 521044).
