Read this user manual carefully before you begin to mount and use your Sublight product. The 3LED lights can be mounted on boats, bridges, pools and lakes.
Note regarding eloxation
The aluminium surfaces of the Sublight 3LED products are protected by a powerful eloxation, which increases the corrosion resistance. During installation you must avoided to scratch the surface, remove or destroy the eloxated aluminium. It is recommended to use plastic washers where the lights would otherwise make contact with metal, as it reduces the risk of scratches. In newer models of the 3LED lamps there are plastic washers included. In the newer generations the endcaps is made of plastic so no washers is needed.
Optimal placement of lamps
The lights should be mounted on a level surface, in order to avoid damage to the mounting plane and the light. On an uneven plane, the light or the plane could bend. You can use washers to lift the lamp away from the plane as shown in ex. 2 and 3.
The power cord on the back of the lamp should also go through the mounting plane. The cord should not be in contact with salt water for an extended period. Please be make sure that there may not be any forms of pull in the cord.
Attachment of sublight3 lamps
The light must be fastened securely in both mounting holes with a 5-6 mm bolts or screw. The bolts should be secured so that they do not loosen over time. Location, distance and diameter of the holes can be seen in the picture above. Holes must be sealed with suitable marine sealant in order to avoid water flowing in. Note that there is a rubber socket by the cord, and it may therefore be necessary to have a larger hole.
Electrical connection of Sublight products
Turn the power off during the installation, not only for the products but also for your own safety!
Use a fuse!
Although there is low voltage, there is a risk of shocks and shortcircuits with fire hazard as a result. Therefore, the electic system must be fitted with an adequate safety system before connecting your Sublight-lamps.
Before you connect your Sublight products you need to make sure your power supply can support the required power consumption from the lamps. You can avoid problems by taking the power to the lights directly from the battery, so you avoid taking power from the existing wires.
You must also make sure that the wires you are using to mount the lamps are dimensioned to the required power consumption.
Connection of solid-colour lamps
All Sublight 3LED lights in a solid color can be connected to 12V. All solid-color lamps supports both voltages. Brown wire is positive, and white or blue is negative. If the lamp does not turn on, try to swap the brown and white wire. The lamp is not damaged by swapping positive and negative.
If it still does not work please contact us.
