IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed,

including the following:

1.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

and all the important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so may
result in loss of fish life and/or damage to this appliance.

2. DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since
water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following
situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized
service facility for service or discard the appliance.

A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately

unplug it from the power source.

B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in

if there is water on parts not intended to be wet. If the appliance or any part

of it falls into the water DO NOT reach for it. First unplug the unit before
retrieving.

C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is

malfunctioning or it is dropped or damaged in any manner. The power cord of
this appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance
should be discarded. Never cut the cord.

D. To avoid the possibility of the

appliance plug or receptacle getting
wet, position the appliance to one
side of a wall mounted receptacle to
prevent water from dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. A “drip loop” (see
illustration) should be arranged by the
user for the cord connecting appliance
to a receptacle. “The drip loop” is
that part of the cord below the level
of the receptacle or the connector if
an extension cord is used, to prevent
water from travelling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the
fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in receptacle.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
significantly impaired physical or mental capabilities, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should always be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

4. To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot parts.

5. CAUTION - Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from
electricity supply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off
parts and while the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled. Never
yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Always
unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use.

6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or
temperatures below freezing. FOR INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. DO NOT

IMMERSE.

7. Make sure the appliance is mounted correctly and securely positioned on the
aquarium before operating the appliance.

8. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with proper rating should be used. A
cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat.
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or
pulled. The connection should be carried out by a qualified electrical installer.

9. Use only with AC adapter supplied with this product.

10. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

®

enabled smart device, the light spectrum in order to replicate various environments; and

INSTALLATION AND USAGE:

Please verify that all components of the light fixture are undamaged before putting it into operation.
Before any kind of maintenance, always disconnect electrical supply of the light fixture.

• Make sure the light fixture is mounted correctly and securely positioned on the aquarium

before operating the appliance.

• On a plain glass aquarium always ensure that the brackets are on the outside of the aquarium

frame. If needed, the extendable mounting brackets can be adjusted accordingly to ensure
proper fit on aquarium.

• Connect the plug from the transformer to the plug on the fixture.

• Connect the transformer to electrical supply.

MOUNTING BRACKET INSTRUCTIONS

This is a mounting system only and does not provide power to the LED strip.

REMOVING THE EXISTING LIGHT TUBE

• Disconnect the T8/T5 lighting system from the power supply and do not reconnect.

• Please ensure that the LED strips are not connected to the power supply when

mounting into the T8/T5 lighting system using the mounting brackets.

• Unscrew both end caps and move them into the center of the tube.

• Remove the tube by sliding it gently out of the fitting.

INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BRACKETS

• Clip the mounting brackets over the ends of the

extending arms of the LED strip, as per the photo
(A). You may need to pull out the
extending arms slightly to do this.

• For T5 lighting systems: fit the

end caps over the end of the mounting
brackets, to face inwards.

• For T8 lighting systems: click to fit the T8

ring adapter onto the end of each
mounting bracket, then follow the instructions
above for T5 lighting systems.

• Fully tighten the end caps back onto the threads,

being careful not to cross thread or over tighten.
You may need to extend or retract the extending
arms to make the LED strip fit perfectly (B).

• WARNING: Before connecting the power supply,

ensure that the LED strip is securely fastened to
lighting system of the aquarium so that it is
stable and cannot fall into the water. The
LEDs are tested to IPX7, which means they
