Additional items required not supplied by OceanLED: 

 

Marine sealant - 3M 4200 or equivalent

DO NOT remove the light cartridge from the mounting tube during installation. The light cartridge MUST stay 
fitted  inside  the  mounting  tube  throughout  the  installation  process  to  avoid  the  introduction  of  potential 
contaminants that may damage the product. The light cartridge can only be removed for maintenance or after 
sales  purposes  and  OceanLED  must  be  contacted  prior  to  any  light  cartridge  being  removed  from  the 
mounting tube. 
 
 
 
OceanLED  recommends  dry  fitting  all  products.  When  installing,  be  sure  that  the  light  fits  the  area  and 
secures to the hull using the appropriate hardware before applying any sealant. 
 
 
 
When applying sealant to the light fixture, use OceanLED packaging material such as the light cardboard box 
when placing the light on the ground face down to prevent lens damage.
