Installation Instructions for S.R.Smith Fiberglass LED Light in
Retractable Fitting for S.R.Smith Fiberglass Pools & Spas
1. Per NEC Article 680.23 (5) lights are to be installed in no less than 18” (450mm) below
the normal water level unless the luminaire is listed and identified for use at lesser
depths. S.R.Smith lights are listed and identified for use at depths no less than 4"
(100mm) below the normal water level. All depth measurements are from the normal
water level to the top of the Luminaire lens.
2. Drill a 2 3/8" mounting hole (2 3/8" to 2 1/2") at the selected location. After the hole is cut
out, clean the area around the hole to remove rough spots and dust.
3. Fit the S.R.Smith Fiberglass Light fitting in the hole ensuring the rubber seal is fitted
between the back of the fitting flange and the interior pool/spa wall as shown in the
diagram. Place a bead of silicon between the nut and the wall then tighten up the nut
firmly. If desired the rubber seal can also be replaced by silicon. Do Not Over Tighten
4. Connect the wire to an approved Low Voltage Transformer in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC). The conduit adaptor should be glued with solvent
cement to the gland nut and 1/2" PVC conduit can be glued to the inside of the conduit
adaptor. Alternatively a standard 3/4" conduit adaptor can be glued to the outside to fit
3/4" PVC conduit to the light.
S.R.Smith Fiberglass LED Light Winterization Recommendations
Swimming Pools may or may not be drained completely. If not drained completely, the water
level should be lowered below the S.R.Smith Fiberglass LED Light and make sure that all water
is drained from the wall housing cassette.
NOTE - If water is trapped in cassette, damage may occur from freeze expansion.
