SUPRA Surface Mount Integrated System

SMX 22, SMX52 & SMX 102
Installation and Operating Guide
Congratulations! You have purchased a LUMISHORE advanced LED technology underwater lighting system.
Every care has been taken to ensure your SMX22, SMX52 or SMX102 SUPRA system arrives in perfect condition,so please enjoy the ultimate experience in underwater lighting.
Please read the following pages before attempting installation to ensure complete understanding ofthe LUMISHORE LED lights.
BEFORE YOU START• High Intensity LED light – Do not stare into the LED module at close proximity.
• The lights are high power and should be installed below the water line.
• These lights are intended to be installed on vessels no larger than 50ft (15m).
• For best underwater illumination, LUMISHORE recommends installation 4” to 12” (100-300mm) below the min load water line.
• Choose a location - The light must be mounted on a flat (not curved) surface. Mount on transom or side of the hull only.
• A hole will be drilled to allow the cable to be inserted; care must be taken to ensure there is unrestricted access inside the hull.
• When installing three or more lights, equal spacing 2.5’- 3’ is recommended to give a consistent light pool.
• The light is temperature sensitive and must not be located close to the exhaust outlet or other heat source.
• The lights have a voltage rating of 10.5 - 31volts. Never connect to a voltage out of this range or direct to AC voltage.
• Each light must be individually Fused, To choose the correct fuse value for your light and voltage supply refer to the provided
fuse table in this manual.
• No chemical cleaners/chemical spray, sandblasting/pressure washing should be applied or used on lights. This will
negate warranty

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
The lights are very easy to install and operate. Follow the wiring diagram inside this guide
The following components should be used;• Fuse (1 per light)

The following tools will be required;• Waterproof junction box• Power Relay• Hand Drill• Switch or Lumi-Switch• Screwdriver (Cross head)• Power cable - See cable gauge guide for more

• Appropriate Sealant (e.g. 3M 4200)

information• Cleaning rags

• Switch cable - 2 -Core (Min 24AWG) - 4-Core
for Lumi-Switch

When installing 2 or more lights or if the switch cable is more than 4m in length.
Use a relay to switch the power - See connection examples on pages 9 & 11

• Plan the cable routing and work out the cable lengths. Check the cable awg required in the tables on Pages 3 & 4• All connections need to be made waterproof or use a suitable junction box or waterproof connectors.
• Each light must be individually fused.

Cable Gauge Tables
It is important to use the correct cable gauge for the installation. This can be spilt into two sections.
First work out the gauge required from the power source to the junction box, second work out the minimum gauge
needed from the junction box to the lights – these tables are given on page 4.
First, calculate the cable gauge required from the power source to the junction box. The method for doing this is:1.

Calculate the TOTAL CURRENT IN AMPS of the circuit. i.e. number of lights x max current at chosen voltage

2.

Find circuit LENGTH IN FEET (or metres) along the left side of the chart. Note that the total length of the circuitis the ROUNDTRIP distance from power source (usually the battery) to the junction box and back.

Cable Gauge Tables

The light cable can be extended, however the correct cable gauge should be used. See the tables below
The tables below give the minimum cable gauge required depending on the supply voltage, and distance from the powersource to the lights. Please ensure that the correct cable gauge is used in the installation.

Note : The cable distance there and back has been taken into consideration in these calculations.

1.

Select a suitable flat surface that is accessible from inside the vessel and ensure the light cable can be run without a problem.

2.

Check inside the hull to ensure there is clearance prior to drilling.

3.

With one hole at the bottom centre (see image below), mark and drill the pilot holes for the screws. Drill the power cable hole.
The cable hole must be large enought to accept the cable gland on the back of the light, so that the light sits flush.
Note : Cored hulls must be sealed prior to fitting the lights. Consult boat manufacturer for further information.

Rear side

Apply sealantBottom center
4.

Apply a continuous thick bead of sealant approximately 0.6” (15mm) from the edge of the light and around the cable.
Refer to the image above.

5.

Push the power cable through the hole and align the light with the pilot hole screws.

6.

Attach the light using the 3 stainless steel screws by hand tightening with a screwdriver.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO TIGHTEN SCREWS.

7.

Use a damp cloth to wipe off excess sealant. DO NOT USE CHEMICAL CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS!

8.

Wire up lights - Refer to wiring diagrams on pages 9 to12 for more information. Note that each light must be individually fused.
IMPORTANT: REFER TO THE DIRECTIONS ON THE SEALANT TO MAKE SURE IT HAS
FULLY CURED BEFORE LAUNCHING THE BOAT INTO THE WATER.

Note: The SMX SUPRA lights have built in memory. When they are switched on for more than 30 seconds, the settingwill be saved. The lights will have the same setting next time they are switched On.

The underwater lighting system should always be tested before the boat goes back in the water. Check that each light comeson and all lights change in sequence as per the system operation section above. See the problem solving guide for advice on
resolving any issues you may have. Once the boat is back in the water check for any water ingress around the installed lights.
Check again after several hours. Water ingress should be dealt with immediately. The lights should be checked several times
over the first 24hrs and periodically after that to ensure installion is satisfactory.

Maintenance and Cleaning
LUMISHORE lights require simple cleaning. Lights should be checked often to ensure the light body and lens area
are free from sea growth. In the event that your light requires cleaning, we recommend the use of a soft cloth orsoft bristled brush.
DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning materials as these may damage the body of the light.
DO NOT use any cleaning fluids that contain solvents, acids or alkalis.
DO NOT clean using pressure washing or sandblasting equipment.
Slight discolouration of body may occur over life. This does not affect performance, and is not subject to warranty.
Due to nature and high build quality it may on rare occasions be possible to see small levels of condensation,
this is normal for high power LEDs and will disappear after cooling and does not harm operation in any way.
No chemicals, cleaners, chemical sprays or sandblasting should ever be applied / used on lights — this will
negate warranty
