Correct Answer
E. All of theseExplanation
The light turning 1/2 off is a typical symptom of over heating. The thermosat inherrent in the entire OceanLED range, will shut the lights down as a safety feature once they reach their maximum programmed operatingh temperature. For a 3010 light, this overheating symptom will show by exactly 1/2 of the light turning off. The other half will then shut down if the heating continues. Other possible causes could be corrosion on the wiring, fluctuating voltage and /or faulty driver. Please consult your troubleshooting instructions for further information.Rate this question:

When installing lights on a cored hull, you should replace core material with a hard epoxy to prevent the Thru-Hull fixture from crushing the core?
- A.
TRUE
- B.
FALSE
Correct Answer
A. TRUEExplanation
It is essential that the core does not have the opportuntiy to leak water into the transom. When thru hull fixtures have the locking hardware tightened, it crushes the soft core and loosens the locking bolts. OCeanLED recommends removing 3-4 inches of the core material using a dremel tool (without damaging the outer hlayers) and replacing with a hard epoxy. Acceptable alternative methods include removing core completely so the locking bolts fasten to the outside layer of fibreglass only. In this case you must make sure you fill the exposed core with epoxy.Rate this question:

When applying sealant to the back of the Amphibian light fixture, do you apply sealant to?
- A.
Screw Hole
- B.
Screw holes and cable entry
- C.
Perimeter of light
- D.
No sealant needed
- E.
A + B + C
Correct Answer
E. A + B + CExplanation
When installing the Amphibian lights, it is a common mis-conception to use minimal amounts of sealant. Please ensure to cover the perimeter of the light, the screw holes and the cable entry. It is NEVER a good idea to allow water to get behind any thru-hull fixture, regardless if it is a fully sealed unit or not. You wouldnt use minimal amounts of sealant when installing a transducer so don't do the same with these lights.
A common answer to this is that using lots of sealant will make the unit difficult to remove. The common answer to this is that if you use lots of sealant, you won't need to remove the unit.Rate this question:
-
- 16.
When mounting the Amphibians on a curved hull, you need to...
- A.
Add more sealant than normal to the back to take up the curve
- B.
Move to a flat non curved section of the hull
- C.
Sand hull until flat
- D.
Screw down until light bends to the curve of the hull
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. Move to a flat non curved section of the hullExplanation
The light cannot bend to the curved portion of the hull. You can feasibly make up a mounting bracket for the light to sit onto to take up the curve but this will take a long time. Quickest way will be to move the light to a flat section of the hull.

- 17.
When tightening all OceanLED units unsing the included locking hardware, you see sealant squeeze out from the fixture..
- A.
This is good, it shows enough sealant has been used
- B.
Remove the light immediately, clean and re-install using less sealant.
- C.
Using a work rag, spread sealant around the perimeter to clean excess.
- D.
Panic
- E.
A + C
Correct Answer
E. A + CExplanation
You can very rarely use too much sealant. Ideally you should see the sealant squeeze out from behind the fixture. Once you have tightened the unit in place, use a rag covered finger and evenly spread the excess around the perimeter of thelight body, adding an additional seal.
If you do not see sealant being spread out you have either not used enough sealant, or tightened the unit down enough. Carefully check which this is and either remove and re-apply sealant, or gently tighten unit to hull.Rate this question:

You find water inside your OceanLED light, can this be removed from inside the boat without being hauled for repair?
- A.
YES
- B.
NO
Correct Answer
B. NOExplanation
90% of the time no it cannot be removed whilst the boat is in the water. OceanLED provides accessories for the Thru-Hull which allows the units to be removed whilst the boat is in the water for repair and / or replacement:
http://oceanled.com/Product_Pages/Pro_Series_Accessories.php
The reason OceanLED lights have not been designed to be remvoed from inside the boat, is that when OceanLED started in 2006, a lot of research went into the complaints of current lights on the market. A major problem found was that when the lights were serviced from inside the boat, humid moist air was trapped inside the fixture when it was put back together. This air and water trapped inside the light, quickly corroded the light from the inside out. This meant that after 1 or 2 services, the entire unit had to tbe replaced anyway and this required the boat to be out of the water.
OceanLED lights are factory sealed and must be destroyed to re-enter them. This means no seals to leak and also no service will allow damp air back inside the unit.Rate this question:

What is the material of the Thru-Hull Pro-Series lights made of?
- A.
Steel
- B.
316 Stainless Steel
- C.
317 Stainless Steel
- D.
Aluminum (hard anodized)
- E.
Aluminum Bronze / (AB2)
Correct Answer
E. Aluminum Bronze / (AB2)Explanation
All Thru-Hull ights are made out of marine grade bronze. In Europe this material is called Aluminum bronze / AB2. The chemical analysis of the material is as follows:
80% Bronze
10% Aluminum
5% Nickel
5% Various (magnesium , copper etc)
The aluminum content is very good for thermal transfer o fheat generated by the LED's. The high bronze content is exceptionally high on the galvanic scale and therefore very good for constant submersion in a salt environment.
Flush-Mount Pro Series lights are a combination of aluminum bronze and hard anodized aluminum for the body which is chemically inert if not tampered with.Rate this question:

- A.
4
- B.
5
- C.
6
- D.
7
- E.
8
Correct Answer
E. 8Explanation
All OceanLED Pro-Series drivers contain boost convertors. This means that they will continue to pump out 30volts to the lights regardless of whether the voltage is low or high. If the voltage drops the current draw will increase to compensate. You can use the following standard equation:
Formula W=VA (Wattage=Voltage X Amperage)
Example: The battery system on board a 32' Intrepid is fully charged at 13.9vDC. What is the current draw on the installed 3010 light?
Wattage of 3010 = 96watts
Voltage of System = 13.9
Formula= wattage / voltage = amperage
96 / 13.9 = 6.9amps
