READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
CAUTION
(Risk Group 2): Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do
not stare at operating lamp. May be harmful to the eye.
WARNINGS
Before installing your OceanLED Light, read and follow all warning notices and
instructions which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions
can result in property damage, severe injury or even death.
Before installing your OceanLED Light, check local laws for restrictions regarding the
use of coloured lights in your area.
Do not operate lights out of water for a period longer than 5 minutes followed by an
OFF period of at least 1 hour. Exceeding this may cause damage to the light unit.
Ensure the bonding point of the light is fitted to the cathodic protection system on
the vessel. Check conductivity between earth bonding point and aluminium bronze
front bezel. If mounting the light to metal or carbon fibre hull, ensure that suitable
measures have been put in place to account for the eects of galvanic corrosion i.e.
use of Delrin sleeve components.
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. Metal parts and certain natural and man-
made surfaces are particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used
in and around salt water. Some OceanLED lights contain combinations of plastic and
polymer products which are impervious to salt water corrosion, however, screws and
fasteners used for the installation must be of a marine grade type stainless steel or
equivalent and monitored annually to ensure the lights remain in service for years to
come.
Never connect/disconnect lights with power applied as irreversible damage may
occur.
Ensure lights are always fully submerged and not fitted on planing / running surfaces
that may impact on water since this may damage the product.
Never Use Solvents! Cleaners, fuel, and other products that may contain strong
solvents, such as acetone, that attack many plastics greatly reducing their strength
and irreversibly damaging the special lens coatings and cable sheathings.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ELECTRICUTION
This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician in
accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will
create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to swimmers,
installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect the power to the light at the circuit breaker before servicing the
light.
