There are two options for mounting your wall mount pool light. If your light came with a light bracket attached to the back of the light and a black compression bracket see option 1. If your light came with an extension bracket attached to the back of the light see option 2
OPTION 1
If your wall mount light came with a black compression bracket there are two options for installing the light.
Measure the diameter of your pool light opening. If the opening is less than 7 3/4” in diameter, use INSTALL A. If the opening is 7 3/4” or larger in diameter, use INSTALL B.
INSTALL A - opening is less than 7 3/4” in diameter
(Note: the black compression bracket is not needed for this installation)
STEP 1 Remove the light bracket from the back of the light by unscrewing the set screw and releasing the bracket from the bottom hinge.
STEP 2 Attach the light bracket to the existing pool niche (if applicable) by using the niche set screw that was used to secure your previous light fixture. (FIGURE 1) If you do not have a niche, drill holes for wall anchors and screws and attach the bracket to the pool wall. (FIGURE 2)
STEP 3 Reattach the light to the hinge at the bottom of the light bracket. Tilt the light upwards and secure it to the top of the light bracket with the set screw.

FIGURE 2
INSTALL B - opening is 7 3/4” or larger in diameter
STEP 1 Remove the light bracket from the back of the light by unscrewing the set screw and releasing the bracket from the bottom hinge.
STEP 2 Assemble the black compression bracket as shown below.
STEP 3 Prior to inserting the support bracket into the pool light opening, adjust the bolts so the length of the support bracket is slightly smaller than the pool opening diameter. Ensure the bolts are equal on both ends so the support bracket is centered in the pool light opening.
STEP 4 (Figure 1) Insert the support bracket into the opening with the keyhole slots in the down position and the bolts are facing towards you.

STEP 5 Turn upper bolt until the rubber cap is firm against the top of the pool light opening wall then, tighten the outside nuts.
STEP 6 (Figure 2) Carefully rotate the bracket 180 degrees so the flat side of the support bracket is facing towards you and is flush with the edge of the pool light opening.

STEP 7 Attach the two small beveled screws and nuts loosely to the light bracket. The beveled screw heads should be on the flat side of the bracket.
STEP 8 (Figure 3) Connect the brackets by inserting the heads of the beveled screws from the mounting bracket into the keyhole slots on the support bracket. Adjust the beveled screws as needed until they can be slid down and locked in place in the keyhole slots. Tighten the nuts on the beveled screws to secure.

STEP 9 Reattach the bottom of the light to the hinge at the bottom of the light bracket. Tilt the light upwards and secure it to the top of the light bracket with the set screw.
WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION VIDEOS
The video below is ONLY for installations where the pool hole is smaller than 7 3/4" and you do NOT have an existing niche set screw.
OPTION 2
If your wall mount light came with an extension bracket there are two ways for installing the light.
STEP 1 Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the light by unscrewing the set screw and releasing the bracket from the bottom hinge.
STEP 2 Attach the mounting bracket to either your existing niche or pool wall. See Option 1 or 2 below.
STEP 3 Carefully work the silicone ring around the edge of the light. NOTE: Light and silicone ring must be dry before applying the ring to prevent it from falling off when submerged.
STEP 4 Run the power cable through the opening in pool wall or through the back of the niche to the surface where your pool light switch box is located.
STEP 5 Submerge the light and reattach the bottom of the light to the hinge at the bottom of the light bracket. Tilt the light upwards and secure it to the top of the light bracket with the set screw.
Option 1 - If you have a niche, attach the mounting bracket at the 12 o’clock position using existing set screw. Adjust the slider on the bracket and tighten so it is secure in the niche. If the niche has notches on the bottom, the slider will go behind them. NOTE: Light cable will need to go through the back of the niche.
Option 2 - If you do not have a niche (drilling required) Center the mounting bracket over the opening and mark the top center hole location. Use a 1/4” drill bit to drill a hole into the pool wall. Insert a wall anchor and attach the bracket with screw. Adjust the slider on the bracket and secure it to the pool wall using a wall anchor and screw at the bottom.
