Operating Instructions
Your Jebao Smart Marine Light is designed for easy operation primarily through its dedicated mobile application.
- Manual On/Off: A physical ON/OFF switch is located on the light unit for basic power control.
- App Control: Once connected via WIFI, the mobile app provides full control over the light's functions:
- Spectrum Adjustment: Customize the intensity of each LED color channel (Cool White, Royal Blue, Blue, Violet, UV, Green, Red) to create the ideal lighting environment for your specific corals and marine life.
- Intensity Control: Adjust the overall brightness of the light.
- Scheduling: Set daily on/off times and program different lighting phases (e.g., sunrise, daylight, sunset, moonlight) to simulate natural conditions.
- Pre-set Modes: The app may offer pre-programmed lighting modes optimized for various aquarium types (e.g., SPS, LPS, soft coral, fish-only).
- Remote Control: The 'remote' functionality refers to controlling the light via the app from anywhere with an internet connection, provided the light is connected to your home WIFI.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Jebao Smart Marine Light.
- Cleaning:
- Always unplug the light unit from the power source before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior of the light and the LED lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove salt creep, dust, and water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the cooling fan (located on the bottom of the unit) is free from dust and debris to maintain proper airflow. Use a soft brush or compressed air if necessary.
- Inspections: Periodically check the power cable and connections for any signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion. Ensure the mounting arm remains securely attached to the aquarium.
- Water Contact: While designed for aquarium use, avoid submerging the light unit in water. If the unit accidentally falls into water, immediately unplug it and do not attempt to use it again.

- Ensure your mobile device is connected to a 2.4GHz WIFI network (5GHz networks are often not supported by smart home devices).
- Make sure the light unit is within range of your WIFI router.
- Restart the light unit and your WIFI router, then attempt the pairing process again through the app.
- Confirm you have downloaded the correct and latest version of the Jebao app.

User Tips
Maximize your experience with the Jebao Smart Marine Lights with these helpful tips:
- Acclimation: When introducing new corals or setting up a new tank, start with lower light intensity and gradually increase it over several weeks to allow marine life to acclimate.
- Optimal Placement: Experiment with the height and angle of the light using the adjustable mounting arm to achieve even light distribution and minimize shadowing in your aquarium.
- Regular Cleaning: Salt creep can quickly build up on the light's lens, reducing light penetration. A quick daily wipe can make a significant difference.
- App Exploration: Take time to explore all features within the Jebao app, including custom programming and pre-set modes, to find the perfect lighting schedule for your specific aquarium needs.
