Pentair lights

[adubbs09]

Hi,
I am installing two new pentair 5g color lights in my pool and converting to 12v using the controller dial that does the color selection. The wiring for the controller uses 120v and then 120v to the transformer which then reduces the voltage and then the lights are wired into the low voltage side of the transformer. A couple questions. I am a little surprised that the lights will know what color to go to by adjusting the dial to the 120v line. I guess I just don't understand how that will work. Also, I am using 2 lights and the transformer is a 12v,13v,14v I can hook them to. One light will be about 50 feet from the transformer and the other closer to 100 foot. Can I put one light on the 14v wire and the other on the 13v? I am guessing this is fine and wont affect the color syncronization.
Thanks,
Adam

Pentair LED lights change colors when they get power on/off pulses. The dial light controller just gives the correct number of pulses for the color selected.

It should work fine. If it does not then put both lights on the 14V tap.

Thank you! That makes more sense.
