freshwater using a sponge or sprayer.

lm
backing and apply background to wet glass.
6. Use your hand to position
lm and
remove any large air bubbles.
7. Squeeze out water and air bubbles with a
smooth tool (such as a at ruler or credit card.)
Check for tiny air bubbles from both sides of
the glass. If there are tiny bubbles, do more
squeegeeing.
(TIP: Using more water on glass back while installing
the glass
lm will make positioning easier.)

STEP 2 - Serene Background LED Light Installation
Two installation methods for the Serene Background LED light are included with each
Serene LED Kit:
1. Swivel clips with stand mounts - this is the ideal method of mounting and will provide
the strongest lighting effect for background lighting, however does require space (6”+)
for installation. This is also the preferred method if installing on a rimless/frameless
aquarium.
2. Swivel clips with suction cups - this is the easiest method of installation, however does
require a surface for suction cup mounting (either aquarium plastic frame or glass top.)
Note: The Serene Background LED light is IP68/Submersible and waterproof, so installing under glass
canopies or inside aquarium on back wall is acceptable.
Installation Method #1 - Swivel Clips with Stand Mounts
1. Remove light swivel clips from
suction cups by turning 90 degrees
and removing.
2. Place clips onto outer tab on stand mounts
and turn 90 degrees to attach.
3. Mark installation location of stand
mounts (ideally, 1/2”-1” below bottom
of aquarium and 1”-6” from ends.
4. Attach stand mounts to back of stand
using 4 small wood screws. (NOTE: 3M
adhesive tape is also included for installation,
Skip to Step 6 below.)
5. Insert Background LED light into
swivel clips and swivel LEDs to
illuminate background film.
6. If using 3M adhesive tape, insert Background
LED light into swivel clips and position LEDs
to illuminate background light. Attach 3M
adhesive tape to stand mounts and position
into place by pressing firmly towards stand.

STEP 2 - Serene Background LED Light Installation
Installation Method #2 - Swivel Clips with Suction Cups
1. Locate Background LED light
mounting location and clean
of any dirt, algae or debris.
2. Slightely moisten inside of suction
cups and firmly press LED light into
desired location.
3. Swivel LED light to illuminate backround film.
Note: To get the strongest background lighting effect, it’s best to place light a few inches
away from background vs. lighting close. This provides distance for the LED light to spread
evenly over the background film and cover a wider surface area.
r
The included suction cups are a simple
way to install the background LED light,
especially for framed aquariums or
aquariums with glass tops. The best
mounting locations include:
A. Inside or outside Glass Top
B. Top aquarium frame
