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.

Cleaning and Maintenance
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 equip-
ment.
Slight discolouration of body may occur over life. This does not
affect 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.
If the lights are covered for any reason, e.g maintenance, or paint-
ing DO NOT switch the lights on until the covers are removed.
LUMISHORE Ltd warrants the SMX-53 to be free from defects in
workmanship and materials for a period of two years, starting
from the date of original purchase. Misuse, abuse, improper instal-
lation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters
such as re, ood, and lightning, installation by unqualied
personnel, unauthorized repair or modication will void this
warranty. For the avoidance of confusion and doubt, non-compli-
ance with all installation, maintenance and operating instructions
in this document constitute non-conformance with warranty
terms.
