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.
*48mm (1&7/8 in”) hole saw, *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. Fit below water line. Mark 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 through the hull with the 48mm (1 & 7/8 in”) hole saw.
Remove the light housing from box, remove the retaining nut from the housing and clean the inside surface of the flange with dry cloth, clean the surface of the hull removing all antifouling from flange area and wipe clean.
You are now ready to install the complete light fitting 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 flange of the housing and carefully slide the housing into the hole with someone inside the boat to attach the nut, hold the housing flush 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.
Take 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 .3 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 optic. The lines in the optic must be vertical, see photos**

Testimonials
“I have a pair of Aqualuma 1 Series lights fitted to my 25 foot fishing boat, one either side of the outboard. I am absolutely stunned by the results in the relatively clear waters of Perth and am blown away by the number of bait fish that gather in the illumination behind my boat – it’s stunning and has made fishing a better experience for me.” Joe, Western Australia
