WARNING:
ENSURE MOUNTING LOCATION IS FLAT AND CHECK INTERNALLY FOR EASE OF ACCESS IF
THERE IS A RIB, STRUT OR OTHER HULL THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE INSTALLATION.
1.5 Finding the mounting location - UNDERWATER
Considerations
•
X Series lights are suitable for GRP and wooden hulls, as well as carbon
fibre, aluminum/steel hulls using suitable mounting hardware.(If using
stainless steel bezel ensure precautions for prevention of galvanic
corrosion are employed (contact your local OceanLED dealer for more
information).
•
If positioning lights on a transom, more small lights look better than few
bigger lights. E.g. 4x X8’s look better than
2x X16’s.
•
When lights are pointing downwards, the light can reflect off a sandy sea
bed giving a mirrored effect, and light will bounce back creating even
more illumination.
•
Ideal mounting depth is 10 – 20 cm / 4 - 8".
•
Ideally mount your X Series lights at similar depth levels when using
underwater to ensure matching colour consistency through the water.
Deeper lights will look duller and possibly differ in colour to shallower
mounted units.
Spacing -
•
If positioning lights on a transom, take into consideration swim platforms
and obstacles that may block the initial portion of the light, it may be
necessary to use the next model size up.
1.6 Finding the mounting location - OUT OF WATER
NOTE:
X Series light output differs in performance from the previous Xtreme XT range of lights when
viewed out of water. Do not mount X Series lights alongside previous Xtreme variations to maintain a
consistent light display.
