Underwater Lighting
!DANGER! Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!
This underwater light must be installed by a Licensed Marine Electrician in accordance with ABYC
(American Boat and Yacht Council), NMMA, and any other applicable standards. 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. Failure to do so could result in death or serious
injury to serviceman, swimmers or others due to electrical shock.
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. Metal parts and certain natural and man-made surfaces are par-
ticularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in and around salt water. Ocean LED Am-
phibian Lights are 99.9% plastic and polymer products and impervious to salt water corrosion, however,
screws and fasteners used for the installation must be of a marine grade type stainless steel or equiva-
lent and monitored annually to ensure the lights remain in service for years to come.
Always test the lights BEFORE
the
boat goes back into the water. Your
Ocean LED underwater light installa-
tions require the boat to be hauled out
of the water to replace light units.
The breaker and switch
is located at the helm.
Cleaning Instructions
Sea growth can collect quickly on the light and this can reduce the performance in just a few weeks. To
prevent the build- up of sea growth, all Ocean LED lights have been coated with a specialized Trito-
nium coating which makes the surface of the glass lens a non-stick layer which helps ward off long
term barnacle buildup. Lights should be cleaned with a boat brush or similar biweekly or as needed to
keep the lens of the light clear. Growth varies greatly around the world and maintenance is imperative
to the proper operation and longevity of the product. If heavy fouling occurs, barnacles can be removed
from the lens using a plastic scraper and moderate pressure. This can be done in the water using a
plastic scraper.
CAUTION: Harsh cleaning solvents may damage the light.

terminated to allow the
wires to be connected to
the main wire harness at
the transom.
