SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• Carefully examine the light fixture and the power cord for signs of damage or defect. If 

the Betta Light fixture appears to be damaged or defective, 

DO NOT

 use! Contact Zoo 

Med’s customer service department for replacement within the specified period accord-

ing to the terms of the warranty.

• Carefully inspect the power cord insulation and plug to be sure that there are no cuts or 

exposed wires. 

DO NOT

 splice, repair, or modify the power cord in any way. Inspect the 

power cord, plug, and light fixture periodically for damage.

• 

CAUTION:

 The plastic housing must be located outside of the aquarium. Do not place 

the plastic housing inside of the aquarium.

• 

CAUTION

 must be taken when using electrical appliances near water. 

To reduce the 

risk of electric shock,

 be sure that the light fixture is unplugged during any of the 

following situations:

  - Unplug when installing the light fixture on your aquarium.
  - Unplug when performing aquarium maintenance.
  - Unplug before placing your hand(s) in the water of the aquarium. Be sure that your 

hands are completely dry before plugging the light fixture into an appropriate grounded 

outlet.

 - Unplug when not in use.

Return to Zoo Med for inspection and repair.

DRIP LOOP:

 This light fixture must be used near a grounded receptacle with a “drip loop” (see 

figure 1). For safety, the receptacle should have a Residual Current Device or Residual Current 

Circuit Breaker with Overload Protection (RCD or RCBO). The drip loop will prevent water from 

running along the power cord and getting the plug or wall receptacle wet. To create a drip loop, 

be sure that a portion of the power cord is lower than the level of the wall receptacle as shown 

in figure 1. If you are unsure about the electrical supply and connection, contact a qualified 

licensed electrician. If for any reason the plug or wall receptacle gets wet, do not grasp or 

unplug the power cord until after the power has been switched off at the main fuse or circuit 

breaker.

 

INSTALLATION ON ZOO MED’S DESIGNER NANO

 HOUSE & NANO CONDO AQUARIUMS:

CAUTION:

 Do not plug in the 

BETTA LIGHT™

 fixture until after completing the following steps.

1. Loosen the two plastic screws on the housing, taking care not to completely remove 

them.

2. Place the hook located on the plastic housing over the back edge of the opening in the 

top of the Nano House or Nano Condo aquarium.

3. CAUTION: The plastic housing goes on the outside of the aquarium!
4. Carefully tighten the screws to secure the Betta Light fixture to the aquarium.
5. Plug the fixture into a grounded outlet and turn the fixture on using the switch on the 

side of the plastic housing.

INSTALLATION ON FISH BOWLS  

 AND OTHER SMALL AQUARIUMS:

CAUTION:

 Do not plug in the Betta Light fixture until after completing the following steps.

CAUTION:

 If using adhesive, failure of the adhesive can allow the fixture to fall into the water of 

the aquarium. 

DO NOT

 place your hands in an aquarium if the light fixture falls in the water.

1. If possible, use the hook located on the plastic housing as described above for the Zoo 

Med Nano House and Nano Condo Aquariums. 

2. If the hook cannot be used, secure the plastic housing to the outside back wall of the 

fish bowl or aquarium using an appropriate adhesive or hook and loop fastener like Vel-

cro

®

. Be sure that the adhesive used is appropriate for the surfaces that it is sticking to 

in order to prevent the fixture from falling into the water. Velcro

®

 is recommended as it 

will allow for removal of the fixture during aquarium maintenance. 

CAUTION:

 Failure of 

the adhesive can allow the fixture to fall into the water of the aquarium. 

DO NOT

 place 

your hands in an aquarium if the light fixture falls in the water. Regularly inspect the 

adhesive and replace if needed. If you are unsure about the installation, do not install 

the light fixture on your aquarium.
