OceanLED INSTALLATION MANUAL / DOCK / 120416 / v6.2
Finding The Mounting Location
Considerations
•
Design
- Your new OceanLED Dock Light(s) have a directional light beam that allows you to engineer
a beautiful look around your property. Consider even spacing, boat traffic, tidal fluctuations, storms,
seasons, and the overall desired effect when designing your installation.
•
Depth
-
Fixed Piling or Bulkhead - The lights should be mounted approximately 300mm - 500mm (UK) /
12" - 20" (US) below mean low water. Keep in mind that you will want them mounted within reach of
a cleaning brush on a pole for standard maintenance. The clarity of the water will greatly influence
the effect of the lights as will the depth. For a stronger light beam effect, mount them closer to the
surface. To create a glow rather than a beam effect, mount them deeper in the water. You may get
both effects as the tide fluctuates in a fixed mounting application.
•
Spacing
- Your lights should be spaced evenly between 5 feet to 20 feet (1.5 meters to 6.0 meters)
apart depending on the effect you wish to achieve, the clarity of the water (clear water: 20 feet/6
meters; dirty water: 5 feet/1.5 meters), and considering the overall design of the installation.
