Warranty statement.

PRETEST

Always test the lights prior to installation. Failure to do this may result in additional installation time. Ocean­LED cannot be held responsible for any consequential costs incurred after installation.

GENERAL

OceanLED underwater lights are generally used for illuminating the water around a boat or yacht. Best
placement for achieving the best results are described in “1.5 Finding the mounting location”.

WARRANTY COVERAGE

2 year warranty from time of purchase, regardless of installation date.

WARNING!

Never use solvents! Cleaners, fuel, paint, sealants, and other products that may

contain strong solvents, such as acetone, that attack many plastics greatly
reducing their strength and irreversibly damaging the special Tritonium coating and
cable sheathings.

WARNING!

Light is for mounting directly to a flat surface, with the cable passing through a 1/2"
(12.5mm) hole. Do not submerse your cable ends in water; cable and connections

exposed to underwater submersion will not be covered by warranty. Mounting the
light in any other configuration, other than those described in this guide, will
invalidate its warranty.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS!

ATTENTION INSTALLER: This manual contains important information about the installation,

operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner and/ or operator of
this equipment.

CAUTION: (Risk Group 2): Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do not stare

at operating lamp. May be harmful to the eye.

CLASS 3: This equipment is designed to operate at voltages of less than 50v DC.

! WARNING

• Before installing your OceanLED Light, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which are

included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in property damage, severe injury
or even death.

• Before installing your OceanLED Light, check local laws for restrictions regarding the use of colored

lights in your area.

• It is advised not to operate lights out of water for a period longer than 5 minutes. Exceeding this may

cause damage to the light unit

• Salt is an inherently corrosive material. Metal parts and certain natural and man-made surfaces are

particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in and around salt water. Some
OceanLED lights contain combinations of plastic and polymer products which are impervious to salt
water corrosion, however, screws and fasteners used for the installation must be of a marine grade type
stainless steel or equivalent and monitored annually to ensure the lights remain in service for years to
come.

• Never Use Solvents! Cleaners, fuel, and other products that may contain strong solvents, such as

acetone, that attack many plastics greatly reducing their strength and irreversibly damaging the special
lens coatings and cable sheathings

! DANGER! Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution!

This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician in accordance with all
applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which
could result in death or serious injury to swimmers, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and
may also cause damage to property. Always disconnect the power to the light at the circuit breaker
before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman,
swimmers or others due to electrical shock.

CHAPTER

ONE

Chapter 1: Overview

This handbook provides instructions to assist you in the installation and set up of the Sport Series lights
from OceanLED.

1.1 Identifying your model

S3116s Single Colour S3124s Dual Colour

1.2 DC power / fuse ratings

The majority of installations will utilize onboard 12/24v DC power supply from a marine battery. However,
if AC to DC power supply is being used, allow at least 15% reserve for voltage fluctuations due to variables
beyond your control such as ambient temperature and supply voltage fluctuations to ensure your lights are
always receiving the proper voltage and to ensure the power supply is not “overworked” causing premature
failure. Use chart below in determining power supplies.

JUNCTION BOX -

• For a more professional watertight connection for your Sport lights, use
the fused junction box to connect up to 4 lights in an IP66 enclosure.

Products may vary from image shown.

WARNING: ENSURE MOUNTING LOCATION IS FLAT AND CHECK INTERNALLY FOR EASE OF ACCESS IF

THERE IS A RIB, STRUT OR OTHER HULL THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE INSTALLATION.
AVOID MOUNTING LIGHTS ON SURFACES THAT ARE SUBJECTED TO HIGH SPEED WATER IMPACT E.G.
PLANING SURFACES.

1.5 Finding the mounting location - UNDERWATER

Considerations

NOTE:

To ensure correct dispersion of light underwater, ensure all Sport Lights

are mounted with the correct orientation with logo facing upwards.

• Sport lights are suitable for GRP and wooden hulls.

• Ideal mounting depth is 10 – 20 cm / 4 - 8".

• Ideally mount your Sport Series lights at similar depth levels when using
underwater to ensure matching colour consistency through the water.
Deeper lights will look duller and possibly dier in colour to shallower
mounted units.

Spacing -

• If positioning lights on a transom, take into consideration swim platforms
and obstacles that may block the initial portion of the light.
