(*) Note: Wet-niche luminaires complying with requirements for both uses may bare

both the Listed Wet-Niche Submersible Luminaires UL Mark. A luminaire not bearing the

corresponding UL Listing Mark is not considered by UL to have been produced under UL’s

Listing and Follow-Up Service for the associated usage location.

CAUTION - The IntelliBrite® 5G Light ﬁxture must only be used with Pentair Water Pool

and Spa ﬁxture housings (niches). If the IntelliBrite light ﬁxture is installed into other

niches, the installation will not carry U.L. approval and will void all warranties.

Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required

for proper operation of an electronic chlorine generator are relatively low

when compared to sea water and other salt solutions, placing any amount of salt in your

pool increases the likelihood of corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment and any

surfaces used in and around your pool. Metal parts and certain natural and man-made

surfaces are particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in and

around salt water pools. Pentair does not represent or otherwise guarantee that the proper

use of an electronic chlorine generator will prevent corrosion or other deterioration of pool

equipment and any surfaces used in and around your pool. Consult your experienced

pool professional, who should be able to advise you on the proper material selection,

installation techniques for those materials, and the proper use, care and maintenance of

those materials for your speciﬁc pool type and location in order to minimize the corrosion

and deterioration that is inherent in and around salt water pools.

INSTALLATION METHOD SPECIFIED BELOW.

NOTICE: The external ﬂexible cable or cord of this luminaire cannot be replaced; if

the cord is damaged, the luminaire shall be destroyed.

REPLACE ANY CRACKED PROTECTIVE SHIELD (CRACKED LENS) WITH NEW

LENS AND GASKET. FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE PAGE 11.

IntelliBrite® 5G Pool and Spa Lights Overview

Operating Pool and Spa Lights Using a Wall Switch (12 VAC)

IntelliBrite 5G pool and spa lights can be manually controlled using a standard wall-mount

light switch. Multiple IntelliBrite lights can be connected via a junction box to a single

switch so that all lights can be switched on and off together. IntelliBrite lights can also be

automatically controlled via Pentair IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch® and SunTouch® Control

Systems. Note: Multiple IntelliBrite 5G pool/spa lights can also be controlled using

the IntelliBrite Controller, for more information see page 2.

Using an External Transformer for Multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC Lights

When using multiple IntelliBrite 12 VAC lights on a 300 Watt transformer, it is

recommended that no more than three IntelliBrite pool lights and one IntelliBrite Spa light

be used. It is also recommended not to exceed 100 ft (30.5 m) of total cable run between

the transformer and light. Note: For long cable lengths, set the transformer to 14 VAC

(see diagrams below).

This manual describes how to install the IntelliBrite 5G white and color pool light and the

IntelliBrite 5G white and color spa light.

The IntelliBrite 5G white light provides a brilliant white light for a spectacular effect in

your pool and spa. The IntelliBrite 5G white light lens geometry (pool light only) provides

a choice between two light beam shapes; wider coverage with less intensity, or narrower

coverage with more intensity.

The IntelliBrite 5G color light provides brilliant vivid multi-colors with spectacular effects

for your pool and spa. 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.

Powering on IntelliBrite® 5G Color Lights

When the IntelliBrite light is powered on, a momentarily white light will illuminate,

followed by the previously selected color. Note: If power to the light is off for more than

ﬁve seconds, the last color show mode or ﬁxed color that was saved will be displayed.

Selecting a light show mode or ﬁxed color

Switch power on to the light. A white light will momentarily illuminate, followed by the pre-

viously selected color. To select a color show mode (1-7) or ﬁxed color (8-12), turn the wall

switch off/on a speciﬁc number of times. Each number (1-12) shown below corresponds to

the number of times to power-cycle the switch to activate a color light show or ﬁxed color.

For details about saving color effects while in “show” modes, see “Hold” and “Recall” fea-

ture on page 3. Example: To select California Sunset Mode; turn the light on, then turn off

and on six times. During the off/on switching process, no illumination will occur,

Saving a Color Mode or Fixed Color: When power is switched off to the IntelliBrite

color lights, the last color show mode or ﬁxed color will be saved. The next time the light

is powered on, the previously saved color show mode or ﬁxed color will be displayed.

For example, while in “Party Mode” switch the light off. Wait more than 10 seconds,

switch the light back on to resume “Party Mode.”

During the off/on switching process, before the selected color is displayed,

no illumination will occur for a brief second. This operating

mode is normal during the switching process. During this period the pool and spa will be

dark and precautions should be taken to avoid unforeseen accidents. Failure to observe

this warning may result in serious injury or death to pool and spa users.

Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!

This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certiﬁed electrician or

a qualiﬁed pool professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code

and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create

an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users,

installers or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to

property. Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit breaker

before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury

to service person, pool users or others due to electrical shock.

Replacing the IntelliBrite® 5G Pool and Spa

Light Fixture (in an existing pool or spa)

Verify that the pool and spa meets the requirements of the current National Electrical

Code and all local codes and ordinances. A licensed or certiﬁed electrician must install

the electrical system to meet or exceed those requirements before the underwater light

is installed. Some of the requirements of the National Electrical Code which the pool’s

electrical system must meet are as follows:

• 120 VAC pool/spa lights must have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), with an

appropriately rated circuit breaker. 12 VAC pool/spa/lights do not require a GFCI. See

Figure 1, page 7 for details.

• The Junction Box: For 12 volt models only, the low voltage step-down transformer

shall be located at least 8 in (20.3 cm) above the maximum water line and at least

4 in (10.2 cm) above the ground level or pool deck whichever provides the greater

elevation. The junction box shall be no less than 4 ft (1.22 m) from the inside wall of

the pool, unless separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other permanent

barrier. See Figure 3 on page 9.

• Bond the niche-ﬁxture housing to all other metallic items within 5 ft (1.53 m) of the

pool, using a No. 8 AWG bond wire. The Bond connection is located at the rear of the

niche, see Figure 3 on page 9.

• The wet niche is properly installed so the top edge of the underwater light’s lens is at

least 18 inches (45.7 cm) below the surface of the water in the pool, see Figure 3 on

page 9. Also, the face ring PILOT SCREW must be at the 12 o’clock position.

• If non-metallic conduit is used, a No. 8 AWG bonding/grounding wire must be

installed through the conduit from the Junction Box to the bonding/grounding lug

inside the niche. Seal the wire/lug connection with a listed sealant to protect the

connection from possible pool water corrosion. See Figure 3 on page 9.

• To be certain that the pool’s electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the

electrician should also consult the local building department. Note: Use only Pentair

wet niches to insure proper bonding and grounding connections.
