LED Lighting System. This system is an innovative
solution to modern aquarium lighting. It has a
splendid contemporary design, elegantly crafted
from aluminum where every detail was carefully
attended to.
Customizable, state-of-the-art Technology
The Mazarra LED Lighting System utilizes state-of-the-art technologies, from wireless
controller to latest LED chips, offering optimized performance and unparalleled energy
efficiency.
The Mazarra is designed with one goal in mind: Customizability –letting you to take full control
over you lighting system.
Unparalleled Efficiency
The Cree XLamp® XM-L chip is capable of producing up to 180
lumen/watt. This means at the same wattage it can produce
significantly more luminous output than an older generation
model.
With this advanced technology, a standard Mazarra system consuming a mere 120w of power
will be able to out-perform the 160w model from the previous generation.
Optimized Performance
Utilizing the latest Cree high performance high intensity XLamp® XM-L chip, the Mazarra will
consume less power yet producing more PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) for even your
most demanding corals.

Installation
Mounting the Mazarra LED Lighting System
Before connecting the LED Modules to the Controller Unit, first mount the system by using the
provided Frame Set.
1. Assemble the Frame Set.
Assemble the frame set by connecting sections together to form a secured structure, as
illustrated in the following diagrams.
Note
Standard Frame Set Packages are illustrated below:

10
Installation
2. Pendant Mounting
For a single row configuration, you can assemble the frame set as illustrated below:
For multiple-row configuration, you can assemble the frame set as illustrated below:
3. Mounting inside the Canopy
You can mount the system onto the top of your canopy as illustrated below:

11
Installation
4. Mounting on Cabinet / Stand
You can mount the system on the cabinet / stand of your aquarium as illustrated below.
5. Mounting on Wall
You can mount the system on wall as illustrated below.

12
Installation
6. Mounting on Aquarium
You can mount the system on your aquarium by resting the frame on the glass/acrylic
panels as illustrated below.

13
Installation
Note
The maximum width of the glass/acrylic the stand can fit onto is 20mm (3/4”). The stand can
be mounted on top of the glass/acrylic panel or sideway on support beams found on larger
aquariums.
7. Mounting and positioning the LED Lighting System
Depends on the dimensions of your aquarium, there are many different configurations
you could mount and position the Mazarra LED Lighting System.

14
Installation
Powering the Mazarra LED Lighting System
A sample connection configuration utilizing 2 LED Modules
1. Each Power Supply can power up to 2 LED Modules and 1 Controller
Unit.
2. For additional LED Modules, you must connect more Power Supplies.
WARNING: Use only Maxspect™Mazarra P-Series Power Supply for P-Series LED Modules.
Do not connect more more than 2 LED Modules to one Power Supply as doing so may cause
damage to the Power Supply!!

15
Installation
Optics
Each Mazarra LED Module comes with three sets of optics, ranges from 100°, 70° to 40°
(factory default is 100°). Installing optics will enhance penetration of light over a greater
depth of water by converging light from the LED bulbs, but at the same time reducing the
coverage area.
By mix-and-matching different types of optics to be installed, you would be able to customize
the overall appearance and performance of your Mazarra LED Lighting System.
Note
You must install one of the three types of optics on every bulb. The optics also serves as a
protective barrier that prevents water and moisture from damaging the LED bulbs.
WARNING: Installing the 40° optics will converge light into a narrow beam, incorrect usage
of optics may result in bleaching of your corals from over-exposure to high intensity light.

16
Installation
Installing / Changing Optics
1. Using a small slotted screwdriver, carefully remove the screws on the
bottom panel and remove it.
2. Push the optics out of the bottom panel.
3. Place the new optics over the slot and apply pressure on it until you
hear it snaps.

17
Installation
Passive / Active Cooling
With the new Cree XLamp® XM-L chip, higher efficiency
means less power is consumed and the Mazarra runs cooler
than its predecessors. Together with an ingenious
aerodynamic design, the Mazarra is passively cooled when
warm air passes through its aluminum chassis.
Nonetheless, in the situation where you do need to actively
cool your LED Module, for example, your Mazarra is installed
in a confined space such as a canopy, you can install the
optional fan by following the below instructions.
Note
The fan is temperature controlled, it will only turn on when the temperature rises above a
preset value (see Operating Instructions on the LED Module and Controller Unit). Installing the
optional fan will ensure the module runs at optimal temperature and prolong the lifespan of
LED Bulbs.
Installing the Optional Fan
1. Insert the fan onto the slot as indicated by the diagram below, and
connect the power cable.

18
Maintenance
Changing / Replacing LED Bulbs
The Mazarra is the only LED Lighting System available on the market that offers both
plug-and-play LED bulb replacement design and LED bulbs covering the entire color spectrum,
allowing maximum customization and flexibility.
By mix-and-matching colored LED bulbs, Mazarra allows you to pick the right color spectrum
for your aquarium, and bring out that color from your corals exactly like you have always
dreamed of.
WARNING: Install only Maxspect™LED Bulbs onto Mazarra LED Modules. Installing
unauthorized or aftermarket LED Bulbs onto Mazarra LED Modules will void your warranty!!
WARNING: Prior to installing LED Bulbs, you must ensure you are using the correct wattage
and driving current for the LED Bulb. Using a wrong wattage and/or driving current could
shorten the lifespan of bulb or even damage it!!
1. Open the LED Module the same way as you would replace Optics.
Please refer to “Installing / Changing Optics” section for detail instructions.
2. Carefully loosen and remove the screws, then lift the clasp holding the
LED Bulb chip to replace it.
3. When finished, return the clasp to its original position and tighten the
screws.
