1.2 DC power / fuse ratings
The majority of installations will utilize onboard 12/24v DC power supply from a marine battery. However,
if AC to DC power supply is being used, allow at least 15% reserve for voltage fluctuations due to variables
beyond your control such as ambient temperature and supply voltage fluctuations to ensure your lights arealways receiving the proper voltage and to ensure the power supply is not “overworked” causing premature
failure. Use chart below in determining power supplies.

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 evenmore 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 benecessary 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 whenviewed out of water. Do not mount X Series lights alongside previous Xtreme variations to maintain aconsistent light display.

Note: OceanLED makes every effort to protect our marine and fresh water environment aswell as our natural resources. Please take care to keep packaging away from and out of thewater by ensuring loose packaging materials are secured and not susceptible to being blown
into the water. Please recycle all packaging materials as the sustainability of our environment is everyone's
responsibility.
WARNING:

•
•
•

•
•
•

•

Ensure mounting location is flat and check internally for ease of access or if there is a rib, strut, stringer
or other hull irregularity that may interfere with the installation.
Never use power tools to secure your lights; hand tighten only.
Light is for mounting directly to a flat surface on the hull, with the cable passing through a 1/2"
(12.5mm) hole in the hull. Do not submerse your cable in water; cable and connections exposed tounderwater submersion will not be covered by warranty. Mounting the light in any other configuration,other than those described in this guide, will invalidate its warranty.
We recommend you use screws provided. If alternative screws are used, do not use counter sunk or nonflat shoulder screws to secure your lights to the hull.
OceanLED lighting products must be dry fitted. When installing, be sure that the light fits the area andsecures to the hull using the appropriate hardware before applying any sealant.
There are several different hull types. Most are either solid GRP or cored. Be sure you follow the correct
procedures for the hull you are preparing since all require different preparation methods. We will cover
the most common type below. If in doubt please contact your local OceanLED representative or theboat manufacturer for assistance.
Please check all components prior to installation. If there is any damage to connectors, cables, and/or any other component, please notify OceanLED BEFORE installation. Failure to notify OceanLED ofdamage in transit prior to installation will lead to violation of warranty.

2.1 Preparing a fiberglass hull
TIP: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1.

Drill a 3mm / 1/8” pilot hole square to mounting surface from inside the hull if possible. If there isa rib, strut, or other hull irregularity near the selected mounting location, this will need to be taken
into account in the planning phase and the location adjusted accordingly, or the obstruction safely
removed or modified. If the pilot hole is found to be drilled in the wrong location, drill a second hole
in a better location and repair first pilot hole.

2.

Using a suitable drill, make a 1/2" – 5/8" (12 - 15mm) hole. Ensure the light will fit flush and will besquare to the mounting surface.

3.

Sand the area around the hole using a heavy grit sandpaper to remove the previous bottom paintand to ensure that the sealant will adhere properly to the hull. If there is any petroleum residue
inside the hull, remove it with acetone before sanding.
7

4.

Place light fixture into position or use mounting template provided (inside of box sleeve). Mark thescrew hole position and pilot drill using correct sized drill bit for included screws.

5.

Always dry fit units before applying any sealant.

2.2 Installing the light fixture
TIP: Use a suitable marine sealant such as 3M™ Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 4200FS. When applying
sealant to light fixture, be careful to protect the lens from any abrasive surface/floor so as not toremove the protective Tritonium coating.
NOTE: If bottom painting your lights ensure lens is free of any paint / residue.
1.

Fit desired bezel over light unit.

2.

Once hull preparation is complete (see step 1), 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 lightbody. Make sure to generously coat the cable 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 body and circle the mounting screw hole so that there is a continuous
and unbroken bead of sealant.

3.

Insert the light on to the hull, feeding the cable through first and seat into place. Press the light hard
into the hull and ensure good adhesion.

4.

To ensure correct dispersion of light underwater, ensure all lights are mounted with the correctorientation with text facing upwards. Tip: During/after fitting process, ensure cable is not under any
undue stress.

WARNING: Tighten the screws with a hand tool ONLY!
8

5.

Once you are satisfied that the unit is fully tightened to the hull, you will notice that sealant hassqueezed out from around the perimeter of the light. Using a cloth wipe off excess sealant to leavea clean seal. If you do not see sealant squeeze out from the body, you have not used enough sealantor tightened the unit enough to the hull. Carefully examine the installation to make sure the seal you
have installed on the unit is fully water-tight. If in doubt, remove light, re-apply sealant and re-install.

2.3 - Connecting the light fixture
X8 Colours & X16 Colours:
The X8 & X16 Colour change models can either be used in DMX mode (using the OceanDMX controllerkit) or simple DC switch mode, where a simple toggle of the power switch can be used to change colour
modes. To use in DC switched mode; connect V DC power +Ve to the RED wire, -Ve to the BLACK,BROWN & YELLOW wires:

For connecting X Series Lights with the OceanDMX X Series Controller Kit, please refer to the OceanDMX
Installation Manual. Note that when using with the DMX controller, the cable from the light to the junction
box cannot be extended.
WARNING: Always consult a qualified electrician when connecting OceanLED light fixtures. Whenconnecting light units, please note that all OceanLED lights will operate within a specific voltage range.
Connecting lights to your V DC power source
It is recommended to connect the light to the DC power source using a two pole, screw type terminal
block with a minimum voltage rating of 50V and a current rating of at least 5A. The ends of the cableshould be stripped back (if required) and suitable ferrules fitted. The terminal block should be fixed inside awaterproof enclosure (IP66 minimum).
TIP: Switch and breaker need to be robust enough to support light.
TIP: For complete instructions on V DC connections, please refer to ABYC codes of practice and otherapplicable codes and ordinances for V DC connections.
WARNING: Never leave the bare cables unprotected. Take care to not leave the bare wire ends in bilge
water before making the waterproof connections. Water deposits in the connectors and cables willcause corrosion. Over time water can also work its way into the unit along the inside of the cable due tocapillary action causing the light to fail. This will NOT be covered under warranty.

91.

Depending on the model of lights currently installed you will need to pull the correct sized power
cable from the breaker/fuse panel to the light locations to supply constant power to the units. It isimperative that the correct sized tinned boat cable is used. (Please Refer to Cable Gauge Chart in
the Appendix)

2.

Using waterproof connections or a waterproof junction box, make the connections at either end of
the system to attach the lights to the vDC system. Red is +Ve, Black is -Ve.

NOTE: Corrosion of wire, and/or water ingress into the light unit via cable is NOT covered under warranty.

3.

If you are not installing a custom fuse panel, it is imperative that the OceanLED supplied fuse isinstalled on each power line from each light. Please consult electrical specification on page 4 toselect the correct fuse.

4.

Secure wiring using cable ties ensuring where the cable exits the light it is not under undue stress.

2.4 - Finalize your OceanLED installation
Test your lights

Always test the lights BEFORE the boat goes back into the water. Failure to test prior to launch may requireboat to be re hauled out. At this final stage make sure all of the system is operational (see chapter 3). If you
have any issues, please contact your local OceanLED representative.
Warning: Never install a new light and leave the boat in the water unchecked for several days.
When the boat is placed in the water, immediately check for leaks. Note that very small leaks may not
be readily observed. It is best not to leave the boat in the water for more than 3 hours before checking it
again. If there is a small leak, there may be considerable bilge water accumulation after 24 hours. If a leak isobserved you must take action immediately to prevent damage to the property.

CHAPTER

Chapter 3: Operation

THREE

NOTE: X Series lights have active thermal protection. This means that while underwater, they run at fullpower due to water cooling. Moderate dimming may be noticeable with above water installations whenhigh ambient temperatures are reached to avoid damage.

3.1 - Single Colour Strobe
To enter strobe mode, toggle the power on and off quickly twice. They should now strobe in a pseudo-random pattern. To reset from strobe mode, turn off then back on again.

3.2 - DMX Colour Change Operation withFor Colours control using the OceanDMX X Series Controller Kit, please refer to the OceanDMX Installation
Manual.

3.3 Colours control with DC switch operation:
The colour change has three modes of operation, single colour mode, cycle / programing mode, and strobe
mode:
1.

Single colour mode – this mode is entered when the light is first turned on. The light will be a single
colour, either a default blue, or a previously selected colour.

2.

Strobe mode – to enter this mode, turn off the light for less than 1 second, then back on again. The
light will flash in a pseudo-random pattern - the colour will be the same as that in single colour
mode.

3.

Cycle / Program mode, to enter this toggle the power to the unit off twice for less than 1 second
each time. The light will then slowly cycle and fade through the colour spectrum (see diagram
below for cycle order). It can be left in cycling if required, or alternatively, once the light shows thedesired colour this can be stored by switching the light off for more than 2 seconds. When the lightis switched back on it will be back in single colour mode, displaying the previously selected colour.
Single colour mode – this mode is entered when the light is first turned on. The light will be a single
colour, either a default blue, or a previously selected colour.

NOTE: If during the above operations, one or more lights connected go out of sync, simply switch off thelights for more than 2 seconds, then re-enter cycle mode to re-select the colour.

3.3 - Diagnostic LEDs
The X Series is fitted with an advanced diagnostic indicator system. There are two small indicator LEDs
(one red, one orange) within the unit, visible through the front lens.
When the unit is first turned on, both LED’s will flash briefly. This is normal operation and is part of thestart-up procedure, to show that the LEDs are functioning. During normal operation the indicator LEDs
should not be illuminated. The table within the troubleshooting section summarizes the detected fault
modes:

CHAPTER

Chapter 4: Maintenance and troubleshooting

FOUR

4.1 - Cleaning Instructions
Sea growth can collect quickly on the light and this can reduce the performance in just a few weeks. To
prevent the build-up of sea growth, all OceanLED lights have been coated with a specialized Tritonium
coating which makes the surface of the lens a non-stick layer which helps ward off long term barnacle
buildup. Lights should be cleaned with a boat brush or similar biweekly or as needed to keep the lensof the light clear. Growth varies greatly around the world and maintenance is imperative to the proper
operation and longevity of the product. If heavy fouling occurs, barnacles can be removed from the lens
using a plastic scraper and moderate pressure. This can be done in the water using a plastic scraper. If out
of water, moisten the growth before wiping.
CAUTION: Harsh cleaning solvents will damage the light and Tritonium coating.

4.2 - Replacement Parts
Lost, broken, and worn parts can be replaced on request and can be obtained through your local
OceanLED representative.
If the external flexible cable of this unit is damaged, contact your local OceanLED representative to arrange
for replacement (cable must only be replaced by OceanLED, service agent or a similar qualified person).
