previously 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” feature on page 3.

1 SAm Mode: Cycles through white, magenta, blue and green colors

(emulates the Pentair SAm

®

color changing light).

2 Party Mode: Rapid color changing building energy and excitement.

3 Romance Mode: Slow color transitions creating a mesmerizing and

calming effect.

4 Caribbean Mode: Transitions between a variety of blues and greens.

5 American Mode: Patriotic red, white and blue transition.

6 California Sunset Mode: Dramatic transitions of orange, red and

magenta tones.

7 Royal Mode: Richer, deeper color tones.

8 Blue: Fixed color.

9 Green: Fixed color.

10 Red: Fixed color.

11 White: Fixed color.

12 Magenta: Fixed color.

13 Hold: Save the current color effect during a color light show.

14 Recall: Activate the last saved color effect.

GloBrite Color Lights can be controlled using a standard wall-mount light switch or by the

IntelliBrite

®

Controller (see page 3). Multiple GloBrite color lights can be connected via a

junction box and a 12 VAC transformer to a single switch so that all lights can be switched

on and off together. GloBrite color lights are controlled by cycling AC power to the 12

VAC transformer from a standard wall switch. By turning the switch on and off a speciﬁc

number of times, the light activates one of the seven light show modes, ﬁxed colors, or

enables the “Hold” and “Recall” feature.

Powering on the GloBrite Color LED Lights

When the GloBrite color light is powered on, the previously selected color is displayed,

unless the HOLD or RECALL feature was previously enabled.

Note: If power to the light is off for more than ﬁve (5) seconds, the last color show mode or

ﬁxed color that was saved will be displayed.

momentarily illuminate.

Saving a Color Mode or Fixed Color

When power is switched off to the GloBrite

®

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.”

Instead of using a wall switch, GloBrite color lights can controlled with the IntelliBrite

Controller

(p/n 600054, sold separately). The IntelliBrite

®

Controller provides complete control of your

GloBrite color lights. It’s easy to select a lighting

feature, just dial in any one of the pre-programmed

color light shows or ﬁxed colors. Using the Hold

and Recall buttons you can also create endless

unique lighting effects. The IntelliBrite Controller

can be connected to individual or multiple 12 VAC

transformers to control GloBrite color lights. The

IntelliBrite Controller can also control multiple

GloBrite and IntelliBrite lights.

requirements, the electrician should also consult the local building

department.

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 current National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70 or the

Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CSA C22.1 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: THE GLOBRITE LED LIGHT IS A NON-

SERVICEABLE LIGHT. THE COMPLETE LIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST

BE REPLACED.

The following removal and installation instructions describe how to remove and install the

GloBrite

color light assembly.

1. Switch off electrical switch or circuit breaker at the source,

2. Remove Junction Box or Transformer cover. Disconnect the light wires and

attach a ﬁsh tape to the existing light power cord. This will assist in pulling

the replacement light power cord through the conduit back to the junction

box.

3. Remove the GloBrite color light assembly from the pool or spa water:

Using the provided installation tool (P/N 620057), rotate the light assembly

counter-clockwise about a 1/8th turn to release the light from the niche as

shown on page 11).

4. Slowly pull the light and attached power cord (with attached ﬁsh tape) out of

the niche. Pull the light’s power cord and ﬁsh tape out of the niche and place

the light on the deck.

5. Attach the new light power cord to the ﬁsh tape and carefully feed the ﬁsh

tape and cable to the junction box.

6. Install the light into the niche: Place the light installation tool over the front

of the light. Turn the tool and light clockwise while pushing inward, until you

feel the stop point. This indicates the light is properly seated, locked and the

electrical conduit, is completely sealed (see page 11).

Note: If the light does not turn smoothly, pull the light slightly out and be sure

that it’s seated properly and the niche is free of debris, then install the light

as described in step 5.

7. Connect the two (2) conductors to the corresponding circuit wires in the

Junction Box (black wire to power, white wire to common) and secure the

Junction Box cover in place.

8. Final check for proper GloBrite Color light operation: Switch on the

main switch or circuit breaker to the 12 VAC transformer and the switch that

operates the light itself. The light should illuminate when 12 VAC power is

applied. If not recheck the installation steps.

Failure to bring the pool or spa’s electrical system up to code requirements before

installing the underwater light 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.
