Chromatherapy Light Kit
instaLLation and operation instruCtions
The Jacuzzi Chromatherapy Lamp provides beautiful and
pLanning instaLLation
practical illumination to your bath. It includes vivid rotating colors
or penetrating white lighting to enhance your Jacuzzi experience,
and is built to give years of service and pleasure.
It is necessary to plan the location of the control box, control
panel, and each lamp before drilling any holes. A possible
configuration of the Chromatherapy equipment is shown in
Figure 1.
The Lamp can be installed on most Jacuzzi baths or on any
bath having sufficient flat space on the bath shell. The basic kit
consists of an electrical control box and one Chromatherapy
Lamp, with all necessary modular cables. The control box can
support up to four lamps. An additional lamp kit is available and
provides one lamp and one cable.
First, consider the location requirements for the control panel and
lamp(s), see Figure 2. The control panel cannot be immersed
in the bath water. Therefore it must be positioned at least one
inch above the level of the overflow drain. On the other hand,
the lamp(s) must be positioned a minimum of 4 inches below the
normal water line.
The installation requires drilling a hole in the bath shell for the
control panel and each lamp. The Installation and Operation
Instructions will provide all the information required for planning
the installation, completing the installation, and complete
operation of the equipment. The control box must be installed
meeting applicable local building and electrical codes on a stud
beam or wall.

After preparation of the bath shell for drilling the hole for the
control panel and each Chromatherapy lamp, proceed with drilling
the holes. This should be completed by a technican experienced
in drilling through a fine acrylic material.
Figure 5. Control Box Connections
The areas of the holes have been covered with masking tape and
carefully outlined to indicate the location and size of the holes.
The tape will help prevent chipping of the acrylic.
Drill Hole for the Control Panel
The control panel has been located a minimum of one inch
above the level of the overflow drain. It has been marked for a
1-1/16 inch diameter with a 5/32 inch notch at the right center, see
Figure 3.
Caution: Drill the holes from the inside of the unit carefully
to prevent chipping or cracking of the acrylic shell. Use a drill
guide for best results and begin drilling at low speed until the
drill penetrates the acrylic layer, then use a high speed for the
remaining material.

2.
First use a 5/32 inch drill bit to carefully drill the notch.
Use the 5/32 inch drill bit to drill a pilot hole for the
1-5/8 inch hole.
3.
4.
Use a 1-1/16 inch drill bit to complete the hole for the lamp.
Remove any and all burrs or roughness from the inside of
the hole.
Drill Hole for the Lamp(s)
The lamp(s) has been located a minimum of 4 inches below the
normal water level. It has been marked for a 1-5/8 inch diameter,
see Figure 4.
Caution: Drill the holes from the inside of the unit carefully
to prevent chipping or cracking of the acrylic shell. Use a drill
guide for best results and begin drilling at low speed until the
drill penetrates the acrylic layer, then use a high speed for the
remaining material.
1.
Use the 5/32 inch drill bit to drill a pilot hole for the 1-1/16
inch hole.
2.
Use a 1-5/8 inch drill bit to complete the hole for the control
panel.

LeaK test
Allow the silicone to cure for 24 hours before performing the Leak
Test. Fill the bath with water and check for leakage at the lamp
location(s).
operate Chromatherapy Lighting
The Chromatherapy Control Panel is located for easy access
while using the bath, see Figure 8. It is controlled by a three-
button panel. The three button panel controls the Light Switch
(center button), and two arrow keys (the Up Arrow and the Down
Arrow), see Figure 9.
Figure 9. Chromatherapy Control Panel
Use Chromatherapy Lighting
1. Press the Control Panel Light Switch to initiate the
Chromatherapy Lighting. The color that shines is the last
color that was on when the Chromatherapy Lighting was
turned off (Programmed Color).
2. Press the Light Switch again to initiate the simple White
Lighting.
3. Press the Light Switch a third time to turn off the
Chromatherapy Lighting.
Control Chromatherapy Lighting
The use of the arrow keys provides beautiful and useful options
for the lighting.
ControL CoLor Lighting
When you initiate the Chromatherapy Lighting, the Programmed
Color will shine. Use the Up Arrow to initiate cycling through the
colors. The scrolling through the wonderful colors indeed provides
a "chromatherapeutic" effect.
note: The color cycle is: Orange, red, pink, violet, blue, green,
yellow, and orange again. (If you use the Down Arrow, the color
cycling will follow the reverse order through the colors.)
If you want to stop at a particular color, simply use the Up Arrow
again to stop the cycling.
ControL White Lighting
In the White Lighting setting there are two positions for a brighter
light, controlled by the Up Arrow; and two positions for the dimmer
light, using the Down Arrow.
