2.2 Installing the Light Fixture
TIP
: When applying sealant to light fixture, use the OceanLED packaging material as a cushion when
placing light on the ground face down to prevent lens damage.

Once the hull preparation is complete (see steps above), the light can be inserted into the hole
previously prepared. Apply generous amounts of the sealant you are using to the back perimeter
of the light body. Make sure to generously coat the wire of the light where it meets the back of the
light. There should be an unbroken bead of sealant around the perimeter of the light unit.

TIP
: It is critical to cover the entire perimeter of the body and circle the mounting screw hole so that there
is a continuous and unbroken bead of sealant. Make sure to wrap the wire ends in electrical / masking tape.
This will protect the bared cores from any bilge water inside the hull when you feed the light into the boat
and prevent corrosion.
TIP
: Fill the remaining space with copious amounts of the sealant to ensure the entire back face of the light
is completely protected from water ingress.
