if you run the wire above WL, this will allow you to unclamp the wire, unscrew the surface mount fixture and pull it up while in water if it needs replacement.
and before anyone tells me LED lasts "forever", I have a 6 month old Abyss Light with 3/4 of the LEDS dead. |
I am not sure about your particular install Pascal but I don't accept any U/W Lights where they cannot be changed in the water.
We are using 16 of them on a current project, the exact light type is yet to be determined 100% but they will all be behind little glass sections in the hull
