Replacing 12 volt pool or spa lights with Universal ColorLogicTM or CrystaLogicTM Before you begin Use this Guide ONLY if your current light is a low voltage (12v) type. Refer to other Guide if your light is 120v. Pre-Installation Checklist Existing pool or spa light operates on 12 volts You have a pool transformer capable of supplying 70 watts at 12-14 volts 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 or Connection Point for existing light If no junction box: If there is no junction box in place, the connection to the existing light is likely made directly to the transformer. Locate where this connection is made. The Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic will be wired in the same manner. If there is a junction box: Remove the cover of the junction box and determine how the existing light is wired to the low voltage power supply. The Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic will wire in the same manner. Locate existing light's transformer and configure it to output 14 volts, if possible. Refer to your transformer's manual for this information. The Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic light can operate on 12 or 13 volts depending on the length of the wire run from the transformer to the light. Refer to table for this information. STEP 2: Disconnect and Remove Light Disconnect the existing light at the junction box or at the transformer. 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
