Replacing 120 volt pool or spa lights with Universal ColorLogicTM or CrystaLogicTM Before you begin Use this Guide ONLY if your current light is a 120 volt type. Refer to other Guide if your light is low voltage (12v). Pre-Installation Checklist Existing pool or spa light operates on 120 volts There is a dedicated electrical junction box for the pool/spa light (see Step 1) A suitable transformer has been aquired (refer to Step 1 for more information) Light fixture housing (Niche) has been installed per the National Electrical Code (NEC) Your niche is compatible with the new light (refer to compatibility table in manual) If replacing a SwimQuip® light, the tab on the Universal ColorLogicTM/CrystaLogicTM light may need to be removed (refer to manual) You have wire cutters or shears for cutting the existing light cord You have duct tape for taping the new cord to the old cord when pulling through conduit You have a Phillips head screwdriver You are qualified to work on electrical wiring and understand electric code requirements and wiring methods Installation Preparation Read the entire Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic manual Read this entire Guide Remove power to the existing pool or spa light at the service panel! STEP 1: Find Junction Box If no junction box: If there is no junction box in place, the connection to the existing light is made directly to a switch, timer, pool controller, or subpanel. If so, a listed Pool/Spa wall mount transformer (Hayward® LTBUY11300) or a junction box transformer kit (Hayward LTBUYxxx) can be used to power the new Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic light. Consult with an electrician to re-wire and modify the existing conduit configuration to include the new transformer. If there is a junction box: Determine the manufacturer of your pool or spa light's junction box and aquire a compatible Hayward junction box transformer retrofit kit. Refer to the chart below for Hayward retrofit kit part numbers. STEP 2: Detach Light Remove the junction box cover and disconnect the existing light. Remove the light from the niche. Firmly pull on the light cord at the junction box and verify that the cord moves freely. There may be a grommet or sealant at the light cord's point of entry into the niche. Removing this should allow the cord to pull freely through the conduit. Leave cord in place until Step 6. STEP 3: Cut Light Cord Place the light on the pool deck and cut the light cord as shown below. STEP 4: Tape Cord ends Keep the Universal ColorLogic/ CrystaLogic light on the pool deck Dry the cord ends thoroughly and tape them as shown. Using too much tape may prevent the cord from moving freely through conduit. Turn Over
