Has anyone used Pentair LED pool lights?

[c2500]

A job I have coming up is using a Pentair brand line voltage LED pool light (Don't have the model # handy) Anyway, the light was delivered, and I read the instructions. They refer to a bonding point on the back of the light, but when I look at the light I do not see where the #8 should be mounted. There is no apparent clamping point. Any input will be great appreciated.

Also, as I have not done a pool before, does the light seal to the fiberglass pool body? And the cord run through the flex conduit? Or is there a compartment made into the pool that houses the light and has a connection for the flex conduit?

Thanks as always,

I'm assuming an inground fiberglass pool. The pool contractor has always mounted the light whenever I do pools. All of them I've done clamp to the pool shell. I run PVC from the light nitch to the "light junction" than PVC to the switch unless the "light junction" is close to the equipment pad I use liquid tight. Usually with a line power light I run a pool panel. Check the location of the "light junction". There are code requirements. Be careful of requirements of the light grounding conductor. It needs to be run unbroken, hence the pool panel.

Thanks for the input. I looked again today and realized that the light attachs to the niche housing which has the bond point. (Gotta love the learning curve) The cord will be run through liquid tight up to the junction box. The lighting circuit was run in MC, and I know the exception allows the ground to be broken for the light switch. But there is a insulated ground, so that should be fine.

Thanks,
