FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Will my Boat Light Kit run from 110V / 240V power outlet?
A. Yes, you must first purchase a HARDKORR® transformer if you wish to power
your kit from 110V / 240V mains power.
Q. How does my Boat Light Kit go together?
A. For the first time installation we suggest you start from your battery with
the 1.2m power cable (standard DC to bare ends). This way you will start with
the right male connector, from there you can configure the lighting to suit the
area you want to light up.
Q. Are my lights waterproof?
A. Yes all lights and cables are waterproof, however the supplied dimmer is
not.
Q. What do I do if my lights don’t work?

try connecting a transformer to mains power. If you are still experiencing
difficulties after following these steps, please contact our customer service
team.

A. If you are experiencing difficulties, please contact our customer service
team.

Q. Can I run these lights off a generator?
A. Yes, you can connect to a generator using a HARDKORR® transformer
(purchased separately).
Q. What do I do if some lights work and some don’t?
A. You may have a faulty lead. Please check the light directly from the 1.2m
power cable (standard DC to bare ends) or a transformer. If all lights are
working, please test each cord between the light and power until you find the
faulty cord. If you are still experiencing difficulties after following these
steps, please contact our customer service team.
