3 Series Fitting Instructions

All Aqualuma lights have been tested before shipping

It is recommended that you use a qualified boat builder to work out placement and fitting of your new underwater lights.

You will require the following to install your new Aqualuma light.

*60 mm (2 & 3/8 in") hole saw, * Wire connectors, * Fuse or Circuit Breakers
Please check that the Aqualuma Sealant (Bostik 940FS) has been supplied at no charge. If not, do not continue with installation, please contact your supplier.

Step 1 :

With boat on hardstand or trailer calculate the spacings based on the width of the boat and the number of lights you want to fit. (recommended spacing is 800 mm (32 in") for transom and 250-300 mm (10 in") below water line. Spacing for side of boat should be approximately 1.5 meters (60 in")) Mark the hole centers with a marker, be careful to check the inside of the boat for any obstacles in the area you want to drill, with that done you can now drill a small pilot hole then double check inside the boat again for anything that may obstruct the housing or retaining nut. Once you are sure you have the correct position you can now drill through the hull with the 60mm (2 & 3/8 in") hole saw.

Step 2:

Remove the light housing from box , remove the retaining nut from the housing and clean the inside surface of the flange, clean the surface of the hull removing all antifouling from flange area and wipe clean.

Step 3:

You are now ready to install the complete light fitting into the hull (there is no need to disassemble light fitting).N.B –If you are fitting wide angle lights please see Annexe A below. Apply a generous amount of sealer to the inside flange of the housing (N.B You must use only Aqualuma Sealant supplied or Bostik 940FS, this should have been supplied with your underwater lights at no charge;if it has not been supplied DO NOT substitute for any other product , return to your place of purchase to obtain correct sealant) and carefully slide the housing into the hole with someone inside the boat to attach the nut, hold the housing flush with the outside surface of the boat and apply a small amount of sealer to inner surface around hole and tighten the nut by hand until tight. The nut should need only to be hand tight.

Step 4 :

Clean excess sealant from around the housing and check to make sure you have a seal all the way around the flange to the outside edge of the housing. Check the face of the housing and lens area for any sealant.

Step 5 :

Take the power wire and run to a known 12 or 24 volt DC fused and switchable power source with 5 amp fuse as each light uses only .4 of an amp @ 12 volts DC do not use higher fuse.

Please note Aqualuma lights are polarity sensitive.

Congratulations on purchasing and installing your new Aqualuma underwater lights. You are now ready to light up the water around your boat and be the envy of your friends who have not yet seen THE LIGHT !

**Annexe A : The wide angle lights must be correctly positioned. Look through the outer lens and you will see lines on the primary optics i.e the 3 small lenses. The lines in these optics must be vertical, see photos**

Regular Maintenance

For the best performance of your Aqualuma Lights, wipe the outer lens with a soft cloth or soft bristled broom –this should be done at monthly intervals.
There is no internal servicing required however, in the unlikely event that you need to access the light engine this is done from inside the vessel. Twist the end cap clockwise to release and remove the back cap (this can be quite tight as it has an IP68 rated seal in the form of an O-Ring)then gently pull on the wires that pass through the alloy heat sink , if the light engine does not slide freely towards you –gently tap the housing to assist in the removal of the light engine.
To re-install the Aqualuma Light reverse the above taking care not to catch the wires between the end cap and heat sink . Relubricate the O-Ring with a small amount of O-Ring Grease.
