2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:

This flood lamp has been designed to be used fully submerged underwater in fresh water swimming pools. It
is a Class III electric apparatus with very low safety voltage (12 v with alternating current).
The flood lamp complies with IPX8 degree of protection (resistance to penetration of dust, solid bodies and
humidity) at a nominal immersion depth of 2 m.
This flood lamp complies with international safety standards for lights, especially the EN 60598-2-18 standard:
LIGHTS PART 2: SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS SECTION 18 LIGHTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND SIMILAR
APPLICATIONS.
The manufacturer is not responsible in any circumstances for assembly, installation or start-up of any electric
components which have been inserted or handled at locations other its own premises.
3. INSTALLATION:
• Never install in vertical position with the lamp facing downwards.
• In order to clearly light a pool it is recommended to install a 300 W flood lamp every 25 or 35 m
surface in swimming pools which are especially deep, a 300 W flood lamp is required for every 30 or 40 m
of water volume.
• In order to prevent glare, the flood lamps should be installed so that they face away from the residence or
usual view of the swimming pool.
• In the event that lighting is used in training or competition pools, the flood lamps should be installed on the
sides to prevent glare on the swimmers.
• To avoid the need to empty the pool to change the lamp, we recommend that the flood lamp be installed in
areas which are accessible from the upper edge of the pool.
Prior to installation verify that the gland seal has been fully tightened.
The flood lamp should be placed on the wall of the pool at approximately 400-700 mm from the water surface
(Fig.1).
The method of fastening the housing to the pool wall varies depending on whether it is a flood lamp for concrete
pools or prefabricated pools.
Concrete swimming pool
To install a flood lamp in a concrete swimming pool the housing should be fixed in the wall of the swimming
pool (Fig.2a). Make sure that the cable outlet of the housing remains on the upper part.
Prefabricated swimming pool
To install a flood lamp in prefabricated swimming pool make a circular hole with a diameter of 240 mm (Fig.2b).
Install the housing and one of the adhesive joints on the outer side of the pool. Install the other adhesive joint
on the inner side and use two screws DIN 7981 4,8 x 16 to secure the three components. (Fig.3). Make sure
that the cable outlet of the housing remains on the upper part.
