Preparing the Hull 

 

When installing an Explore unit, please ensure there is enough space on the inside of the vessel to remove 
the insert for maintenance/after sales services. For example, the XFM unit requires an additional 100mm / 4” 
from the rear of the mounting tube to allow the insert to be removed. (See overall dimensions below). 
 
Ensure  that  the  part  of  the  light  inside  the  vessel  has  a  diameter  of  100mm 

/  4”  around  it  free  from  any 

insulation material. 
 
OceanLED recommends using a qualified installer / technician when making  modifications to your vessel. 
Please also consult the manufacturer for more detail on modifications and installation. 
 
If lights are to be fitted to a conductive or wooden hull, an Isolation Kit must be used. Contact OceanLED for 
additional details. 

 

Depth/Spacing 

Ideally mount your lights at similar depth levels to ensure matching colour consistency through the water. Deeper lights 
will look duller and possibly differ in colour compared to shallower mounted units.
