Detailed description

Designed for managing underwater lighting systems, the Garmin EOS i-Connect Hub Kit is an interface dedicated to Lumishore EOS underwater lights. This hub enables full control of EOS color-changing underwater lights via the EOS-LUX control center or compatible multifunction displays (MFD) equipped with Lumi-Link integration. It serves as a central component for sophisticated lighting installations, providing an integrated solution for sport sailboats, cruisers, yachts, and superyachts using Lumishore TIX 40 or SMX 154 lights.

Capabilities and System Integration

Each hub can manage up to 4 EOS color-changing underwater lights. For larger installations, it is possible to connect up to 4 hubs on the same vessel, allowing control of a total of 16 lights, whether surface-mounted or through-hull. The Garmin EOS i-Connect Hub Kit operates within a voltage range of 10.5 to 31V DC, with a maximum input current of 20 A and an output current of 5 A per light. It integrates switching relays for efficient power management.

Installation and Reliability

Hub installation is simplified with plug-and-play connections. For maintenance and diagnostics, each light connection is equipped with a status LED indicator. The system protects each light with a replaceable blade fuse and includes reverse polarity protection, as well as noise filtering for stable operation. Its robust ABS construction, halogen-free and flame-retardant, combined with IP68 certification, ensures resistance to demanding marine environments. The kit includes a 1-meter DMX cable for interconnection.

« Garmin i-Connect EOS Hub: Modularity and diagnostics for underwater lighting »

Garmin’s i-Connect EOS hub, following the acquisition of Lumishore, is the cornerstone of intelligent underwater lighting systems. Its ability to centralize control of up to four spotlights per unit, with scalability to sixteen lights via four hubs, makes it suitable for a wide range of vessels, from cruising units to superyachts. It is particularly relevant for owners seeking deep integration with their existing MFD via Lumi-Link, enabling intuitive management of lighting scenarios and color changes.

The modular design of this hub significantly simplifies planning and installation. Each light features individual fuse protection and a status LED, a major asset for rapid on-site fault diagnosis, reducing downtime. The inclusion of noise filtering and reverse-polarity protection provides essential electrical robustness in a marine environment where disruptions are common. While the hub is designed for "plug-and-play" installation, careful routing of DMX and power cables is required, adhering to recommended lengths and cross-sections—especially for extensions—to ensure optimal performance and system longevity.

This hub is the ideal choice for those seeking a Lumishore EOS underwater lighting solution controllable via Garmin, offering superior scalability and ease of maintenance compared to older or less integrated systems. It is optimized for TIX 40 and SMX 154 lights, ensuring perfect compatibility and color performance faithful to Lumishore specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Garmin i-Connect EOS hub kit and what is it used for?

The i-Connect EOS Garmin hub kit is an interface designed for managing Lumishore EOS underwater lighting systems. It enables control of EOS color-changing underwater lights via an EOS-LUX control center or compatible multifunction displays (MFDs) with Lumi-Link integration. It is a central component for sophisticated lighting installations on various types of vessels.

How many underwater lights can a single i-Connect EOS hub handle?

Each i-Connect EOS hub can manage up to 4 EOS underwater RGBW lights.

What is the required power supply voltage range for the i-Connect EOS hub?

The i-Connect EOS hub operates on a voltage range of 10.5 to 31V DC.

What are the input and output current specifications for the i-Connect EOS hub?

The i-Connect EOS hub has a maximum input current of 20 A and an output current of 5 A per light.

Does the i-Connect EOS hub include switching relays?

Yes, the i-Connect EOS hub includes switching relays for efficient power management of lights.

Which type of DMX cable is included in the kit?

The i-Connect EOS hub kit is supplied with a DMX cable 1 meter in length.

Which types of underwater lights is the i-Connect EOS hub compatible with?

The i-Connect EOS hub is compatible with Lumishore underwater lights, such as the TIX 40 and SMX 154 models.

Which control systems can be used with the i-Connect EOS hub?

The i-Connect EOS hub can be controlled via the EOS-LUX control center from Lumishore or compatible multifunction displays (MFD) with Lumi-Link integration.

Is it possible to connect multiple i-Connect EOS hubs on the same vessel?

Yes, it is possible to connect up to 4 i-Connect EOS hubs on the same vessel, allowing control of a total of 16 underwater lights, whether surface-mounted or through-hull.

Is the i-Connect EOS hub compatible with surface-mounted and through-hull lights?

Yes, the i-Connect EOS hub is compatible with Lumishore underwater lights, whether they are surface-mounted or through-hull.

Where should the i-Connect EOS hub be installed inside the vessel?

The i-Connect EOS hub must be installed in a dry, well-ventilated location inside the vessel.

What is the recommended distance between underwater lights for optimal illumination?

For best results, install underwater lights at a distance of between 0.8 metres (2.5 feet) and 2 metres (6.5 feet) apart.

Are there any precautions to take regarding temperature when installing lights?

Yes, lights must not be exposed to temperatures above 65°C (150°F). They should not be installed near hot engine components or where exhaust emissions could be expelled onto the underwater light.

Should fuses or circuit breakers be used to protect the lighting system?

Yes, it is essential to use an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker to protect the entire system. Each light must be individually protected by a fuse.

How to ensure watertight electrical connections?

All power connections must be made watertight using a junction box or suitable waterproof connectors.

What to do with unused ports on the i-Connect EOS hub?

It is important to install the waterproof caps on all unused ports of the Lumi-hub to ensure system protection.

Can DMX cables be cut or extended?

No, DMX cables must not be cut or spliced. Specific DMX extension cables are available if additional lengths are required.

What is the recommended installation depth for underwater lights?

Lights must be installed between 150 and 250 mm (6 to 10 inches) below the vessel’s minimum waterline.

How should the bonding for galvanic protection be carried out?

Lumishore lights must be connected to the vessel’s DC grounding system via a bonding strap to ensure protection against electrolytic/galvanic corrosion. However, if the boat has a wooden, metal, or carbon fiber hull, an isolation sleeve kit is required and the lights must NOT be grounded.

Which actions can void the Lumishore lights warranty?

Attempting to unscrew or remove the cartridge from the light housing will void the warranty and may damage the LED module. Additionally, failure to properly ground the lights and maintain adequate protection will void the Lumishore warranty.
