Power Connection

Operating Instructions

The Lifegard Aquatics LED light fixture features a three-mode ON/OFF touch control switch for easy operation.

2. Lunar Blue Mode: Touch the control switch a second time to switch to Lunar Blue mode. This mode uses only the blue LEDs, simulating moonlight conditions for nighttime viewing and promoting natural nocturnal behaviors in your aquarium inhabitants.
3. OFF: Touch the control switch a third time to turn the light fixture off.

You can manually transition between these modes as desired to suit your aquarium's needs and viewing preferences.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your LED aquarium light.

• Cleaning: Always unplug the fixture before cleaning. Gently wipe the LED board and fixture housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. The LED board is covered with a crystal clear soft resin, making it water resistant and easy to maintain.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and connections for any signs of wear or damage. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
