Congratulations on your purchase of a Spa Electrics Retro Universal Series Pool Light.
This light has been designed in conjunction with leading pool professionals across the
USA and manufactured solely in Australia.
The Retro Series Pool light is designed to quickly and easily replace existing
LOW VOLTAGE, 10” Pool Light (PAR 56) fittings from major brands.
Its patented cam-lock system allows for simple installation in situations where the
existing niche hardware has been damaged or is no longer serviceable.
For safe and proper installation, please read this manual in full before commencing
installation and use only the parts (screws, plugs, sealant etc) as provided.
For operating instructions, please refer to the MULTI PLUS Operating Manual. (Provided)
NOTE: The use of DC / Electronic (or Switch mode) power supplies is not permitted as they
can cause disruptions in the lights normal operation & in some cases damage the lights
internal electronic components. For more information, please contact Spa Electrics Inc.
The Retro Universal Light must be water cooled at all times. DO NOT switch the light
on until installation is complete and the light is fully submerged in water.
Ensure sufficient cable is coiled behind the light to allow for servicing (~12 to 24inch)
Ensure only circular cable not exceeding 9/16” (14mm) diameter is connected to the
Retro Universal Light. The use of Fig. 8 or non circular cable will not seal correctly
& will void the product warranty.
The Retro Universal LED Light does not contain any user serviceable parts, opening
the light will void the product warranty.
Pool chemicals & PH levels: Due to the corrosive nature of unbalanced pool
chemicals, Spa Electrics strongly recommend that your pool water is balanced prior
to installing your pool Lights or any plastic or stainless steel components, and tested
weekly to maintain these levels. pH levels should be maintained between 7.2- 7.6 at
all times to ensure the longevity of these components.
Failure to do so can result in chemical damage to the light housing and
pool fittings, including stainless steel components.
Please note: Lights or components found to have excessive chemical
damage will not be covered under our manufacturer’s warranty policy
