Additional markings for speci c types of luminaires are described below. PRODUCT TYPES AND INSTALLATION Dry-niche Underwater Luminaires for Swimming Pools and Spas These luminaires have been investigated for permanent installation only in the wall of a swimming pool or eld-fabricated spa unless accompanying installation instructions indicate suitability for installation in the bottom of a pool or spa. These luminaires have been investigated for installation with the top of the lens not less than 450 mm (18 in.) below the normal water level unless otherwise marked. These luminaires are designed for servicing from the rear in a passageway behind the pool or spa wall or, if mounted in the bottom of a pool or spa, in a tunnel underneath the pool or spa. The luminaire may include (1) a factory-installed length of exible cord terminating in an attachment plug and (2) an attachment plug receptacle for connection of the branch circuit conductors. Wet-niche Underwater Luminaires for Swimming Pools and Spas These luminaires, with the mating forming shell (luminaire housing), have been investigated for installation only in the wall of a swimming pool or eld-fabricated spa unless accompanying installation instructions indicate suitability for installation in the bottom of a pool or spa. These luminaires have been investigated for installation with the top of the lens not less than 450 mm (18 in.) below the normal water level unless otherwise marked. These luminaires have been investigated for installation in a permanently installed forming shell (luminaire housing) in which the luminaire will be completely surrounded by water. These luminaires are marked to indicate the proper forming shells with which they have been investigated for use. Mismatching a wet-niche luminaire and forming shell can increase the risk of electric shock or injury to users. These luminaires are provided with a factory installed, permanently attached exible cord with an exposed length of not less than 3.6 m (12 ft). The exible cord is con ned in the forming shell by the luminaire and permits the luminaire to be removed from the forming shell and to be lifted to the pool or spa deck for servicing without lowering the water level or disconnecting the luminaire from the branch circuit conductors. Luminaires with longer cords are available for installations where the junction box or splice enclosure is so located that a 3.6 m (12 ft) long cord will not permit luminaire removal from the forming shell and placement on the deck for servicing. To reduce the risk of product damage, any cord length in excess of that necessary for servicing should be trimmed from the supply end rather than stored in the forming shell. Forming Shell (Housing) for Wet-niche Underwater Luminaires for Swimming Pools and Spas These are structures designed to support a mating wet-niche luminaire, for mounting in a pool structure. Forming shells are marked to indicate the luminaires with which the forming shells have been investigated for use. Mismatching a wet-niche luminaire and forming shell can increase the risk of electric shock or injury to users. Forming shells are designed to require the supply end of the conduit connected to the forming shell to be directly connected to a Listed swimming pool junction box (see WCEZ). This forming shell-connected conduit may alternatively be connected directly to other equipment (such as Swimming Pool and Spa Transformers (WDGV), Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (KCXS), Panelboards (QEUY), or pool or spa control equipment) only when such other equipment has been investigated for this use, as indicated by the marking Suitable for direct conduit connection to a wet-niche or no-niche luminaire, or the equivalent. No-niche Underwater Luminaires for Swimming Pools and Spas These luminaires have been investigated for installation only on the walls of a swimming pool or eld-fabricated spa unless accompanying installation instructions indicate suitability for installation in the bottom of a pool or spa. These luminaires have been investigated for installation with the top of the lens not less than 450 mm (18 in.) below the normal water level unless otherwise marked. These luminaires have been investigated for mounting to a bracket permanently secured in or on the pool or spa wall or bottom where the luminaire will be completely surrounded by water. These luminaires are provided with a 32

35 factory installed, permanently attached exible cord with an exposed length of not less than 3.6 m (12 ft). The exible cord is con ned by the luminaire and pool wall or bottom and permits the luminaire to be removed from the mounting bracket and to be lifted to the pool or spa deck for servicing without lowering the water level or disconnecting the luminaire from the branch circuit conductors. The information provided above for wet-niche luminaires regarding the availability of luminaires with longer exible cords and the need to trim excess cord from the supply end also applies to no-niche luminaires. Mounting Brackets for No-niche Underwater Luminaires for Swimming Pools and Spas These are structures designed to support a mating no-niche luminaire, for mounting in or on a pool structure. Mounting brackets are marked to indicate the luminaires with which the mounting brackets have been investigated for use. Mismatching a no-niche luminaire and mounting bracket can increase the risk of electric shock or injury to users. Mounting brackets are designed to require the supply end of the conduit connected to the mounting bracket to be directly connected to a Listed swimming pool junction box (see WCEZ). The information provided above about alternate supply-end termination of conduit connected to forming shells also applies for supply-end termination of conduit connected to the mounting brackets of no-niche luminaires.
