🔬 How It Works
The PU2MLPLVW utilises advanced Variable White LED technology combined with Wi-Fi connectivity to deliver sophisticated tuneable white lighting:
1️⃣ Variable White Technology Unlike fixed-colour or RGBW lights, the Variable White unit gives you complete control of brightness and colour temperature. Adjust from warm white (2900K) for a relaxing, intimate atmosphere to cool white (5100K) for bright, energising illumination – and everything in between.
2️⃣ Wi-Fi 104 Control System Variable White lights are operated via the control unit and/or App provided with the Wi-Fi 104 unit. The free downloadable app (iOS and Android) provides full control over colour temperature selection, brightness levels, and programmable schedules.
3️⃣ R4-CC Driver Receiving Controller Each Variable White light requires its own R4-CC driver receiving controller (PU2MLRC), which interprets signals from the Wi-Fi controller and adjusts the LED output accordingly. Multiple lights synchronise perfectly for coordinated effects.
4️⃣ 24V SELV Power Supply The dedicated power supply (PU2MLPS 24V 320W) provides safe, low-voltage power. One power supply can operate up to 26 lights, making multi-light installations cost-effective.

Installation Procedure (per Official Manual)
- The liner fitting and the liner should be installed as normal
- The light body is threaded and shaped in order to be a perfect fit into and over the liner inlet clamp plate
- The pipework connected to the inlet fitting/s should be extended/converted to conduit which then runs above the water level to create a run for the cable to the central control/power point
- When the light cable is fed through the receiving pipe/conduit, sufficient cable should remain free within the pipe in order to be able to remove the light unit to the pool surround
- Run the cable through the pipe/conduit back to the desired control/power point
- Coil the free cable into the pipe and insert the light body – position the light body within the inlet fitting and screw the light into place
- When fully installed the light body will cover the inlet clamp plate exactly
Installation Notes
⚠️ WARNING: This equipment must be installed by qualified persons only
⚠️ NOTICE: The inlet fitting should be for use by the light only – it should not be connected to the pool circulation system
⚠️ Install between 400-700mm below water level for optimal lighting coverage
💡 Multiple lights can be installed within a single pool
💡 Each Variable White light requires an R4-CC driver receiving controller (PU2MLRC)
💡 One power supply (PU2MLPS) and Wi-Fi controller (PU2MLWC) can operate up to 26 lights

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Variable White technology? A: Variable White (VW) gives control of brightness and colour temperature. You can adjust from warm white (2900K) to cool white (5100K), allowing you to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion.
Q: What is the difference between PU2MLPLVW and PU2MLPLVW+B? A: The PU2MLPLVW features a stainless steel fascia, whilst the PU2MLPLVW+B has a black fascia for a contemporary look. All other specifications are identical.
Q: What is the difference between Variable White and RGBW? A: RGBW lights offer full colour changing (red, green, blue, white) with programmable sequences. Variable White focuses solely on white light, allowing precise adjustment of colour temperature from warm to cool white. Both use the same Wi-Fi 104 control system.
Q: What is the difference between the liner pool and concrete pool versions? A: The liner version (PU2MLPLVW) uses a 1.5″ screw-fit into Certikin liner inlet fittings and weighs 1.0kg. The concrete version (PU2MLPVW) uses a push-fit into Class C pipe and weighs 0.7kg.
Q: Do I need a liner inlet fitting? A: Yes, the light is designed to be installed into a new or existing Certikin liner inlet fitting connected to either 1.5″ or 2″ pipe.
Q: Can I connect the inlet fitting to the pool circulation system? A: No. The inlet fitting should be for use by the light only – it should not be connected to the pool circulation system.
Q: What components do I need for a complete Variable White installation? A: Each light requires: PU2MLRC (R4-CC driver receiving controller), plus one PU2MLPS (24V 320W power supply) and one PU2MLWC (Wi-Fi 104 controller) per system. One power supply and controller can operate up to 26 lights.
Q: What voltage is required? A: 24VDC. A qualified electrician must carry out all electrical wiring in accordance with local electrical regulations.
Q: How do I control the colour temperature? A: Variable White lights are operated via the control unit and/or App provided with the Wi-Fi 104 unit.
Q: How bright is the light? A: 1,750-2,000 lumens with a 65° lens angle covering approximately 8m².
Q: What is the weight? A: 1.0kg (liner pool version is heavier than concrete version due to thicker faceplate design).
Q: How long will the light last? A: Maximum lifespan of 50,000 hours.
Q: Can the light be serviced? A: No. This product contains no serviceable or changeable parts. Do not attempt to open the light housing – opening will void all warranty.
