Frequently Asked Questions
Are Aqua-Quip QC Retro-Fit pool lights compliant with Australian standards?
Yes. Aqua-Quip QC Retro-Fit pool lights are Australian made and manufactured to meet relevant Australian standards and regulations. Installation must be completed in accordance with local regulations and the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do QC Retro-Fit pool lights need to be installed by an electrician?
QC Retro-Fit lights are permanently installed pool luminaires and installation should be carried out by a suitably qualified person in accordance with local regulations and the manufacturer’s instructions. Requirements vary by state and territory, and if any mains-voltage wiring is involved (such as a transformer that is hardwired to the supply), a licensed electrician is required. Any associated electrical work must comply with AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules).
Do QC Retro-Fit pool lights require a transformer?
Yes. QC Retro-Fit lights are extra-low voltage and require a suitable isolation transformer installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000. These lights use variable voltage technology and can operate from 12V AC to 32V AC, which makes them compatible with many existing pool light transformers. Always confirm transformer output and condition before installation.
Are QC Retro-Fit lights suitable for existing concrete pools?
Yes. QC Retro-Fit lights are specifically intended for existing concrete pools and surface-mounted light replacements. They are supplied with a universal mounting bracket that allows replacement of many other brands of surface-mounted pool lights.
Can QC Retro-Fit lights replace other brands of surface-mounted pool lights?
Yes. QC Retro-Fit lights are supplied with a universal mounting bracket and Quick Connect Plug Kit, allowing replacement of many surface-mounted pool lights from other manufacturers. Refer to the compatibility list on the product page or
Aqua-Quip QC Series Identification Chart.
Can QC Retro-Fit pool lights be operated from a wall switch?
Yes. QC Retro-Fit pool lights can be operated from a standard wall switch or a compatible controller. Fixed-colour models provide simple on/off control. Multi-colour models allow colour selection and effects via switch operation or compatible automation systems. For enhanced control, multi-colour models can also be used with the
Aqua-Quip InstaTouch Smart Lighting Controller.
Are QC Retro-Fit lights compatible with pool controllers and automation systems?
Yes. QC Retro-Fit multi-colour lights can be used with a range of lighting controllers and pool automation systems. For correct colour operation and synchronisation, the light’s internal colour-changing protocol must match the controller being used. Refer to the technical specifications,
