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 lights.
*60mm (2 & 3/8 in”) hole saw, Wire Connectors *Fuse or Circuit Breaker
Gen 2 series housings can now be installed with any sealant approved for below water line use.
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 800mm (32 in”) for transom and 250-300mm (10 in”) below water line. Spacing for side of boat should be approximately 1.5 metres (60 in”). Mark the hole centres 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 trhough the hull with the 60mm (2 & 3/8 in”) hole saw.
Remove the light housing from box, remove the retaining nut from the housing and clean the inside surface of the fl ange, clean the surface of the hull removing all antifouling from fl ange area and wipe clean.
You are now ready to install the complete light fi tting into the hull (there is no need to disassemble light fitting). NB - Please see Annexe A for correct lens alignment. Apply a generous amount of sealer to the inside fl ange of the housing and carefully slide the housing into the hole with someone inside the boat to attach the nut, hold the housing fl ush 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 only be hand tight.
Caution do not fit in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
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 5Take 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, connect the red wire to positive and the black wire to negative.Please note Aqualuma lights are polarity sensitive.
Congratulations on purchasing and installing your new Aqualuma Underwater light 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: These wide angle lights must be correctly positioned. Look through the outer lens and you will see lines on the primary optics ie the 3 small lenses. The lines in the optic must be vertical, see photos**

Testimonials
“From the inception of the Blue Room, our floating function facility, we chose the original Aqualuma 3 Series as our light of choice. We installed 36 down the sides and across the back of the vessel and the result makes the boat look like it’s floating on a blue cloud. Our customers are continually wowed by the effect of the blue hue around the boat. We are absolutely thrilled with the results we have got from Aqualuma’s lights and are pleased that Aqualuma use our boat in their marketing campaigns. We are more than happy to be associated with this world-leading brand.”
