1. Prepare the Niche: Ensure the 1-1/2" threaded wall fitting in your pool or spa is clean and free of debris.

4. Route the Cord: Route the 100-foot power cord through the conduit to the transformer location. Ensure the cord is not kinked or damaged during routing.
5. Electrical Connection: Connect the light's power cord to a compatible 12V AC transformer. Follow the transformer's instructions for proper wiring. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and protected from moisture.
