1.0 BEFORE YOU START
The light can be installed above or below the water line.
For best underwater illumination, LUMISHORE recommends installation 4” to 12” (100-300mm) below the water line.
Choose a location:
o
The light must be mounted on a flat (not curved) surface. For underwater installs mount on transom or side hull only.
o
A hole will be drilled to allow the cable to be inserted; care must be taken to ensure there is unrestricted access (including inside the hull for underwater
installation).
o
When installing three or more lights, equal spacing 2.5’- 3’ is recommended to give a consistent light pool.
o
The light is temperature sensitive and must not be located close to the exhaust outlet or other heat source.
o
The
e
-lite series operates on both 12V and 24V DC systems; never connect a light directly to the mains AC voltage.
o
Each light should be individually fused and the serial number recorded. Please use the tables below.
