What is the difference between a niche and a light?

• A niche is a housing that is permanently mounted in the pool wall, while the light is a “fixture” that is secured into the niche.

What is the difference between 12V and 120V?

• A 12V light receives its power from a transformer, which steps down 120V to 12 V.  120V is your standard house voltage. Some areas of the country do not allow 120V lights. The brightness is equal for either voltage because brightness is measured by the bulbs wattage.
  

My light is not working?

• Check the power supply; verify that the breaker in the breaker box and the light switch are in the on position, if all is okay, the bulb maybe blown.

How do I change my bulb?

• ALL POWER TO THE LIGHT MUST BE OFF.  This includes the circuit breaker and the light switch. Once the power is verified to be off, unscrew the light fixture from the niche. There should be a single mounting screw in the 12 o’clock position; loosen the screw and lift the light onto the pool deck. (When the light was first installed, the installer should have left excess cord).  Depending on the age of the light, there may be a clamp or a back securing ring with nuts holding the light onto the lens. Expose the bulb, unscrew and install the new bulb.
• NOTE:
  When replacing a bulb, you should replace the lens gasket, as a precaution. If you replace the bulb and the light continues not to work, your gasket might be bad. Lubricate the new lens gasket,
  resecure the lens and faceplate and secure into the niche.
  Hayward recommends you consult a licensed electrician for any electrical work.
  

What are LEDs?

• LEDs are light emitting diodes. They are housed on a circuit board. The circuit board controls the color and intensity of each diode. Using red, green and blue different colors are created depending on the numbers of each color and their intensity.
  

How many colors are in the light?

• There are literally thousands of colors created from the diodes. Some of the Colorlogic shows contain over 1500 colors.
  

How long does the light last?

• The life expectancy for a Colorlogic light is 50,000 hours. The light will perform for over 10,000 hours without any noticeable loss of brightness.
  

How do I synchronize multiple lights?

• When the lights are shutoff and powered on between 10-15 seconds, each light will go to the first color show in its’ program.
  

How do I know the names of the colors?

• Each Colorlogic light comes with a small laminated card. The card will have the order of the shows and their name. Also on the card will be a few of the common operational questions for using Colorlogic.
  

How does the light get wired?

• Colorlogic get wired the same way as any other light. You can connect it to a standard switch or to an automated controller, like Aqua Logic.
