Section 3: Replacing a lamp only

The following steps may be performed by a qualified pool serviceman or a homeowner.

NOTE: Use ONLY the Pentair Bulb Replacement Kit when relamping (P/N 600139 - 12V/100W or P/N 600138 - 120V/250W). See relamping installation instructions provided with the light.

WARNING Never operate this Nicheless Light for more than 10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water. Without total submersion, the light assembly will get extremely hot, which may result in serious burns or in breakage of the lamp or lens. This may result in serious injury to pool users, installer, or bystanders, or in damage to property.

WARNING Use only the special stainless steel pilot screw (see Light Assembly Parts, item 4, on page 14) provided with this Nicheless Light. This screw mounts and electri- cally grounds the housing securely to the Nicheless fixture. Failure to use the screw provided could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.

2.Unscrew the captive screw on the top of the light, then tilt the top of the light out from the wall and lift the bottom of the light out of the bracket. Unwind the excess cable that is stored in the back of the light.

3.Place the light face down on the deck on a flat soft clean surface. Take care not to scratch the lens.

4.Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) all ten 10 screws on the back of the light.

5.Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two (2) screws located at the TOP (12 o'clock) and BOTTOM (6 o'clock) on the back of the light.

6.While holding the glass lens and plastic face ring, turn the light over. Rotate the face ring in a counter-clockwise direction such that the heads of the sealing screws align with the large circular holes of the keyways slots. Lift the plastic face ring away from the housing to remove the lens and lens gasket.

7.To remove the lens and lens gasket, gently pull on the tabs located around the perimeter of the lens gasket. This will allow air to enter the housing and will assist with removal of the lens.
