This appliance can be used with an LED mood lighting kit approved by Vision
Futura Fires
–
The Solus Ambient Light Kit (available from your retailer). Other,
non-approved LED light kits must not be used as they may damage the
appliance and invalidate the warranty. The Solus Ambient Light Kit must only
be used when connected directly to the appliance using the pre- fitted
connecting adaptor (this can be found at the bottom right-hand corner of the
appliance by the mains plug, see Fig. 1a). The Solus Ambient Light Kit must
not be adapted to be operated independently of the appliance, such as
modifying it to run on an independent 240v supply.
The Solus Ambient Light Kit is supplied as a 3m LED strip with adhesive tape
backing, a 2m extension cable (not illuminated) and a 2-way splitter which may
be used to attach two separate kits to the same appliance, allowing each kit to
be routed to different directions/locations.
The length of an individual kit may be extended by joining another kit using LED strip connectors (not supplied),
but only to a maximum of the appliance loadings, see table below for details.

IMPORTANT: When fitting a Solus Ambient Light Kit into an appliance that is built into a sealed fireplace
(such as a media wall),
the kit must be fitted to the appliance during the initial build stage. The Solus Ambient
Light Kit is not a retrofit option as the connecting adapter on the appliance is often not accessible after
installation in these installation types.
Typically in such installations, the kit will be connected when the appliance is placed onto the wooden purpose
built base. The appliance should then be fixed to the wall or framework at that point, ready for the remainder of
the installation to be constructed around it to form the completed design. The LED strip can then be routed to its
designated area, with care not to damage the strip or cable during the process. Damage can occur if the strip or
cable is stretched or snagged on part of the structure/installation. If the cable is damaged at the point of the
appliance, it may need to be replaced completed and this would not fall within the scope of the warranty. It is
best practice to test that the Solus Ambient Light Kit is working correctly before the final boarding has been fitted
to the installation. Once you are satisfied that the lighting is correctly working in accordance with the controls on
the remote control, the final boarding or enclosure can take place and the installation can be finished.
When finishing the installation with a plaster, it is important to protect the appliance and ambient light kit from any
water or plaster that can be spilled during that process. Plaster can be difficult to remove when dried and can
damage the cable. Water must not be able to penetrate the cable or the appliance at any point during the
installation build.
