It does not come out of the end. The input is 60/50Hz with selectable voltage of 120V or 230V. All power in the hood is 24V DC. The power supply is powder coated black. The power supply is cooled via a fan. Caution: Water can enter power supply through cooling fan. Mount via wall mounting holes or set on dry surface. Dimensions: 12”L x 5.5”W x 3.75”H.

Fixture Cooling
Air needs to circulate through the fixture. If mounting in canopy, ensure there is air flow to the fans on each end of the fixture. The control board has a thermometer on board which will turn off the fixture if the LEDs get too hot. This will happen prior to any damage to the LEDs. The LCD will display a message stating the fixture became too hot. If this happens improve the air flow to the fans.
Mounting
The fixture can be mounted with, mounting feet which are supplied on tank, supplied eye hooks, or with optional pendant hanging kit. It is preferred to mount in the open air, but mounting inside canopy is fine as long as adequate ventilation is available to the fans. Ensure that the temperature stays between 70F and 110F. The cooler, the better.
Housing/Lens
The housing is extruded aluminum. The splash lens is acrylic. DO NOT remove acrylic lens because it exposes the LED board to saltwater splash and salt creep.
Control Board/LCD Display
All units include the control board with LCD input module. The LCD display has a step through menu to program the Auto settings. There is also a manual mode to bypass the auto setting to temporarily adjust light output of each of the LED strings. (This feature is to observe the tank under different color variations like 6.5k or actinic blue only). The only way to interface to the control board is through the LCD push button display.
