Mechanical Installation
Tools: Drill, drill bits, marine sealant (3M 4200, or equivalent), F2
Frearson type screwdriver, Flat head screw driver, rags for clean-up:
Pilot Hole for Screws - 9/64” / 3.5mm
Hole for Cable - 7/32” / 5.5mm
Recess for Gland - 17/32” / 13.5mm hole to a depth of 5/8” / 15mm
1. Select a suitable at surface that is accessible from behind and
ensure the cable can be run without a problem.
2. With one hole at the bottom centre, mark and drill the pilot holes
for the screws & drill a ø4mm counterbore to a depth of 5mm in each
location. Drill the power cable hole. The cable hole must be recessed
and chamfered on the outside of the hull to accept the cable gland
on the back of the light. The light must sit ush against the hull. Note:
Cored hulls must be sealed prior to tting the lights - refer to the
manufacturers instructions.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before you Start
Congratulations! You have purchased a LUMISHORE advanced LED
technology underwater lighting system. Every care has been taken to
ensure your compact SMX-53 LED light arrives in perfect condition,
so please enjoy the ultimate experience in underwater lighting.
Adding underwater lighting to your vessel has never been easier - one
small cable hole and three mounting screws is all it takes.
Please read the following pages to ensure a complete understanding
of the LUMISHORE LED lighting system before installation.
• Always ensure that the vessel’s power source and battery are
disconnected or isolated prior to installation
• A quali ed professional should carry out both the electrical and
mechanical installation.
• For best underwater illumination, LUMISHORE recommends instal-
lation 4” to 12” (100-300mm) below the minimum load water line.
• Choose a location - The light must be mounted on a at (not
curved) surface. For underwater installs mount on transom or side
hull only.
• A hole will be drilled to allow the cable to be inserted; care must be
taken to ensure there is unrestricted access inside the hull.
• When installing three or more lights, equal spacing 2.5’- 3’ is recom-
mended to give a consistent light pool.
• The light is temperature sensitive and must not be located close to
the exhaust outlet or other heat source.
• The lights operate on 12V or 24 V DC. Never connect a light directly
to the mains AC voltage, or DC voltage other than that speci ed.
• Each light should be individually fused with a 3A fuse
• For Installation on boats up to 15m (50 ft). Isolation kit (39-0203)
MUST be used on boats with conductive hulls.
