INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations! You have purchased a LUMISHORE advanced LED
technology underwater lighting system. Every care has been taken to
ensure your compact SMX 53 LED lights 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 qualied professional should carry out both the electrical and
mechanical installation.
• For best underwater illumination, LUMISHORE recommends installation 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 recommended 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 specied.
• Each light should be individually fused. If using a hub then fuses
are included with the hub.
• For Installation on boats up to 15m (50 ft)
Mechanical Installation
Tools: Drill, drill bits, marine sealant (3M 4200 Recommended), Crosshead 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 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.
3. Clean and prepare the hull ready for the sealant.
4. Apply a continuous thick bead of sealant to the back of the light,
making sure the recess on the outer edge is slightly overlled. Also
apply a bead of sealant around the cable gland. Refer to image
above.
5. Push the power cable through the hole and align the light with the
pilot hole screws.
6. Attach the light using the 3 supplied screws by hand tightening
with a screwdriver.
IMPORTANT: Do Not Over Tighten. Do Not Use Power Tools to tight-
en screws.
7. Use a damp cloth to wipe o excess sealant that has squeezed out
around the light. DO NOT use chemical cleaners or solvents.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the directions on the sealant to make sure it
has fully cured before launching the boat into the water.

The lights operate in White, Blue, Random Strobe, and Colour Fade
modes. To change the mode turn the switch OFF / ON (wait a
second before switching back on). To reset to White, switch the
lights o for 5 seconds. The lights will always come on in White
mode when rst switched on.
Plan the cable route prior to instalation. Ensure all cables are suitable
for marine applications, and correctly rated for the required voltage
and current. Each light must be individually fused. The cable connections are:
Red 12V or 24 V DC
Black Ground
The fuse ratings are: 12 V DC 7.5A
24 V DC 4A
An ON / OFF switch should be installed to select the modes of operation.
All connections must be made waterproof.
Note: This option requires a Lumishore SUPRA i-Connect Hub
(60-0317) and SUPRA SUPRA i-Connect Hub Switch (60-0318). The
SUPRA i-Connect Hub is Lumi-Link compatible which allows control
via certied MFD or iOS connected device - see datasheet for further
details.
Plan the installation rst. Work out where the lights will be mounted.
Each light connects to the hub using a eld installable connector
(supplied). One hub can power up to 4 lights, and 2 hubs can be
connected together in one system. The hub should be mounted
between the lights and the power source. Plan the cable routes,
including the switch, prior to installation. Ensure all cables are marine
Note: Two hubs can be connected together. All they need is power
connected, and a pre-moulded data cable run between the hubs (see
connecting multiple hubs section for wiring diagram).
The light and power cables can be extended. Ensure the correct cable
gauge is used to avoid issues with voltage drop. Follow ABYC recommendations for no more than 3% voltage drop for 12V, and 10%
voltage drop for 24 V. Consult a qualifed electrical installer, or contact
Lumishore for further information.
Installing the hub(s):
1. Select a site for the installation of the SUPRA i-Connect Hub(s). This
should be within reach of the light cables that will be attached to the
hub(s). The hub(s) should be in a dry, well ventilated area. The hub(s)
should NOT be mounted in areas prone to ooding or excess heat.
2. The hub(s) should be mounted to a at surface, with room for
access to the fuse panel and connectors.
3. Mount the hub(s) as close to the power source as possible. Run the
power cable to the hub(s) from the power source.
Use correct cable gauge consult ABYC recomendations
for MAX 3% voltage drop at
12V, and max 10% voltage
drop at 24V.

in this document constitute non-conformance with warranty
terms.
Warranty
LUMISHORE lights require simple cleaning. Lights should be
checked often to ensure the light body and lens area are free from
sea growth. In the event that your light requires cleaning, we
recommend the use of a soft cloth or soft bristled brush.
• DO NOT use any abrasive cleaning materials as these may
damage the body of the light.
• DO NOT use any cleaning uids that contain solvents, acids or
alkalis.
• DO NOT clean using pressure washing or sandblasting equipment.
Slight discolouration of body may occur over life. This does not
aect performance, and is not subject to warranty.
Due to nature and high build quality it may on rare occasions be
possible to see small levels of condensation, this is normal for high
power LEDs and will disappear after cooling and does not harm
operation in any way.
