Page 6Section 3. Installing Jandy Light Fixture during New Construction3.1 Preparing the Light Fixture for InstallationNOTE The electrician must complete preparatory steps before light fixture is installed; see Figure 1 (or Figure 2, forspa).1. Ensure that the pool or spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code and all localcodes and ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet orexceed those requirements before the underwater light is installed. Some of the requirements of theNational Electrical Code, which the pool or spa’s electrical systems must meet, are as follows:a.a. The lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage 120 voltThe lighting circuit must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for line voltage 120 voltmodels, and must have an appropriately rated circuit breaker.models, and must have an appropriately rated circuit breaker.b.b. The Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) must be located at leastThe Junction Box (or, for 12 volt models, the low voltage transformer) must be located at leasteight (8) inches above water level, at least four (4) inches above ground level, and at least four (4)eight (8) inches above water level, at least four (4) inches above ground level, and at least four (4)feet from the edge of the pool or spa; see Figure 1 for pools and Figure 2 for spas.feet from the edge of the pool or spa; see Figure 1 for pools and Figure 2 for spas.c.c.
