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
Design -
•
Amphibian Xtreme and Pro Xtreme 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 A8’s look better than
2x A16’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 Amphibian Xtreme lights at similar depth
levels when using underwater to ensure matching color
consistency through the water. Deeper lights will look
duller and possibly differ in color 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
For use with Amphibian Xtreme series only. (Amphibian Pro
Xtreme Series for underwater use only.)
Design -
•
Fit cable securely. Ensure cable will be protected from
chafing and any undue stress.
