How to Apply Lightspeed

The Lightspeed kit comes with tools included in the box, however you will need some additional materials for the application process:

• Disposable gloves
• Eye protection
• Clean, dry rag
• Tape

Before using Lightspeed it is essential that any marine life or old coatings are removed. Use a plastic scraper to gently clean the light lens. Do not use any other solvent than Lightclean to clean the lens.

Lightclean wipes have been specially formulated to remove impurities, grease and contaminants from the surface. Tear open the Lightclean wipe provided in your Lightspeed kit, and wipe down the surface to be coated. Immediately remove any residue with a clean, dry rag. Ensure the surface is 100% clean and dry before proceeding.

APPLICATION TIP

• Use a clean, dry rag to remove any residue
• Ensure the surface is 100% clean and dry before proceeding

Lightspeed is a proprietary silicone coating that binds to the surface of the light providing a thin, protective layer that repels barnacle larvae and prevents marine growth from adhering to the underwater light. Lightspeed is able to bind to all surface substrates no matter whether they are polymer, plastic or glass based. We have included a small, high quality brush to provide the best result.
Pierce the seal of the tube using the lid. Squeeze a small amount of the Lightspeed coating directly on to the brush.

Apply a thin layer of the coating on to the underwater light. Make sure there are no heavy runs or sags. You will have 5 to 10 minutes to touch these up.

APPLICATION TIP

• Use the provided brush to apply Lightspeed
• Make sure there are no heavy runs or sags

Lightspeed requires a minimum of 8 hours to dry before launching. In cold conditions, 5-13°C (40 – 60°F), we recommend at least 24 hours drying before launching. Lightspeed is not adversely affected by sitting out of the water for extended periods of time in warm or cold climates.
