Our low voltage light systems are available with either 20 or 50 watt
MR16 halogen bulbs and run on 12-volt power for increased energy
efficiency. Recommended for all 1/4HP through 5HP aeration and fountain
systems, these light systems accentuate the pattern and create
beautiful displays to be enjoyed after dark.
Fountain Glo™ MR16 Low Voltage Features Include:
By incorporating a transformer,(shore mounted for 20W, junction box
mounted for 65W,) power is converted from 110-120V to 12V making the
light set extremely energy efficient and compliant with both domestic
and international electrical codes. (It is strongly
recommended that 50Hz applications supply their own transformer to
convert to 12V.)
Manufactured from
non-corrosive thermal plastics lights are able to operate in brackish
and effluent conditions.
MR16 halogen bulbs
generate almost no heat or ultraviolet output with extended bulb life
exceeding 4000+ hours.
Complete 1-year
warranty on lights, transformer, cable and power control center*.
All light sets come
standard with a timer and gfci when purchased with a panel. Optional
accessories include photocell, colored lens, sequencing packages, and
cable quick disconnect.

vibrant and accurate color representation to accentuate your water
feature. Depending on the aeration or fountain system selected, you

requires mounting the transformer (shore mounted for 20W, junction box
mounted to the unit for 50W systems,) attaching the lights to the float
with the brackets provided*, and connecting the power. Adjust the angle
of the light fixtures for the effect you desire. Complete installation
instructions will be found within the owner’s manual which
will be provided with the delivery of the product.
Additional
Considerations When Ordering and Installing Fountain Glo™
MR16 Light Systems:
- If you plan to add lights to
an aeration or fountain system after initial purchase, a separate power
control center will be needed. However if at the time you place the
aeration/fountain system order you know there are plans to add lights
sometime in the future a larger panel can be built to accommodate the
forthcoming light controls.
- For longer cable runs select
the 50W system.
- When adding these lights to
the Aerating Fountain line, you will need 40in or 1m of operating
depth. (Junction box is mounted to the bottom of the system and
requires 10in or 25cm of additional depth.)
- Colored
lenses can easily be ‘snapped’ on and off the light
housings without needing to remove the unit from water.
Warranty:
The Fountain Glo Low Voltage Lights carry a complete 1 year warranty.
This warranty extends to the complete package including light housings,
cable, transformer and power control center.
Warranty and service can be performed by more than 100 factory trained
and certified Otterbine Service Centers found worldwide, or by
Otterbine directly. A copy of the warranty statement for this product
can be found within the owner's manual.
Maintenance:
Light fixture is designed for years of dependable service. Periodically
clean the bezel glass lens of any debris and check the power cords for
any damage. Always disconnect power from the light when performing
maintenance.
