Installation and Operating Guide

Congratulations! You have purchased a LUMISHORE advanced technology underwater light. Every care has been
taken to ensure your Thru-Hull light arrives in perfect condition, so please enjoy the ultimate experience in
underwater lighting.

LUMISHORE Thru-Hull high intensity lights are designed for those owners who prefer the integrity of a thru-hull
installation in a light that employs the most powerful, ecient and cost eective underwater LED lighting on
the market today. The LUMISHORE Thru-Hull is suitable for many sizes and types of watercraft, including Sports
Boats, Cruisers, Yachts and Super Yachts. LUMISHORE Thru-Hull LED lights come with a compact electronic driver
module to ensure trouble free operation for years to come.

Please read the following pages before attempting installation to ensure complete understanding of
the LUMISHORE LED lights.

BEFORE YOU START

• High Intensity LED light – Do not stare into the LED module at close proximity.

• 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. If in doubt please contact LUMISHORE;

Refer to product support section

• Always use a suitable fuse or circuit breaker to protect the complete system. Each light to be individually fused.

• The Thru-Hull maybe installed into GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic or Fibreglass) and wooden hulls.

• For metal hull or carbon bre installations an isolation kit will be required.

• The light should be installed 6” - 10” (150-250mm) below the minimum load waterline.

• For best results install the lights between 2.5ft (0.8m) and 6.5ft (2m) apart.

• Never try to install or remove light with the vessel in the water.

• Lights should not be exposed to any temperatures in excess of 150°F (65°C). For example, next to hot engine components or

where exhaust emissions could be expelled onto the light while underwater.

• Do not over tighten the retaining bolts. A force of 3Nm on each bolt should not be exceeded.

• All LUMISHORE products should have a bonding to the DC system via bonding strap for galvanic protection.

• Choose a location - The light must be installed onto a at (not curved) surface. Mount on transom or side hull only.

The following components should be used;

• Fuse (1 per light)

• Waterproof junction box

• Power Relay

• EOS Controller

• Power cable - See cable gauge

Cable Gauge Tables

It is important to use the correct cable gauge for the installation. This can be spilt into two sections.

First work out the gauge required from the power source to the junction box, second work out the minimum gauge

needed from the junction box to the lights – these tables are given on page 4.

First, calculate the cable gauge required from the power source to the junction box. The method for doing this is:

1. Calculate the TOTAL CURRENT IN AMPS of the circuit. i.e. number of lights x max current at chosen voltage

2. Find circuit LENGTH IN FEET (or metres) along the left side of the chart. Note that the total length of the circuit

is the ROUNDTRIP distance from power source (usually the battery) to the junction box and back.

3. Read o the cable gauge required for the TOTAL CURRENT for the circuit length.

Planning the Installation (802 & 1602)

Bonding Attention: Failure to bond the lights properly and maintain the appropriate protection will invalidate
the LUMISHORE warranty.

LUMISHORE lights should be connected to the vessel’s DC Bonding system to ensure protection from electrolytic /
galvanic corrosion. All bonding connections should be fully checked prior to returning the vessel to the water.
LUMISHORE lights have integrated circuitry to protect lights from external issues, but these are dependent upon
correct bonding.

Installation into a metal or carbon bre hull requires an isolation sleeve kit.

Metal or Carbon Fibre Hull Isolation Kit

Model

TIX802

TIX1602

Installation Considerations:

• Location - Positioning will be dependent on both external and internal obstacles; consideration should be given to

installation wiring and internal access within the vessel. Ideally the light modules should be installed 6” to 10”

(150-250mm) below the water line and spaced between 2.5ft to 6.5ft (0.8-2m) apart.

• Select a at surface; make sure that both the internal and external surfaces of the hull are even and parallel. It may

be necessary to sand or grind the surface.

• A hole will be drilled to allow the Thru-Hull light to be inserted; care must be taken to ensure there is unrestricted

access inside the hull

• The light is temperature sensitive and must not be located close to the exhaust or other heat sources.

• If multiple lights are installed, each light should be evenly spaced to ensure the best water illumination. The number

of lights and the spacing on your vessel will depend on a few factors: vessel size, location of lights and water clarity.

Light Installation

Tools Required

5mm Allen Wrench

1. Measure the position of the lights on a at part of the hull. Mark carefully, and double-check for internal obstacles.

2. Check the required hole size against the table below. Drill a perpendicular hole through the hull using an appropriate

cutter for the hull material.

Model

TIX 802

TIX 1602

3. The exposed inner hull surface must be properly sealed to prevent water intrusion into the hull before the Thru-Hull

is secured in place.

4. Before inserting the Thru-Hull light ensure that the hull surface is free from dirt and grease and remove any existing

anti-foul from the hull surface.

Note: Do not use an alcohol-based solvent as this may have an adverse eect on the sealant

5. Using an approved adhesive (3M 4200 Marine (recommended) or similar), apply liberally a continuous bead of sealant

around the entire circumference of the sealant groove, on the base of the stem and on the shaft of the Thru-Hull.

6. Feed the connector and cable through the hole in the hull avoiding any strain on the cable. Gently insert the stem of

the Thru-Hull light assembly through the hole in the hull.

7. Apply even pressure with a slight circular motion until the Thru-Hull is ush with the hull surface. Ensure the light

is orientated correctly. See page 9 for more information.

8. From inside the vessel, feed the supplied washer down the shaft of the Thru-Hull tting. Screw the locking nut in place

and tighten the retaining bolts so that they are hand tight (less than 1Nm) - Do not tighten fully at this stage, excess

pressure will push all of the sealant out.

9. Remove excess sealant that is squeezed from behind the light with a rag.

10. Allow the sealant to cure according to the sealant manufacturer’s instructions. Once fully cured, using a 5mm Allen

wrench, re-tighten each retaining bolt (force less than 3Nm). Care should be taken not to exceed this force as damage

to the light module or hull of the vessel may occur.

11. Attach the vessel’s bonding protection to the bonding bolt on the locking ring.

Maintenance & Product Support

The underwater lighting system should always be tested before the boat goes back in the water. Check that each light comes

on and all lights change in sequence as per the system operation section above. See the problem solving guide for advice on

resolving any issues you may have. Once the boat is back in the water check for any water ingress around the installed lights.

Check again after several hours. Water ingress should be dealt with immediately. The lights should be checked several times

over the rst 24hrs and periodically after that to ensure installation is satisfactory.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The locking nut and retaining bolts should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are kept tight. LUMISHORE

recommends general inspection of the light module, driver and cable attachments every month.

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. The glass should be kept clean with a plastic scraper or soft brush. Regular cleaning of the lens

will ensure that the light module delivers maximum optical output. DO NOT use an abrasive cloth or cleaning agent

as permanent damage to the lens may occur.

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 aect 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.

No chemicals, cleaners, chemical sprays or sandblasting should ever be applied / used on lights — this will

negate warranty

To prolong device lifetime and prevent marine growth build up, a good quality anti-fouling system must be used to

coat the external body of the device. This should be renewed regularly.
