ECLIPSE SL100, bandă luminoasă, 2,5 m

The Garmin ECLIPSE SL100 LED light strip is a 2.5-meter flexible marine lighting solution designed for discreet integration and to create decorative effects or indirect lighting aboard boats. Part of the ECLIPSE range, it is versatile for enhancing the ambiance and functionality of interior or exterior spaces.

The Garmin ECLIPSE SL100 light bar has compact dimensions of 10.8 mm in width by 5.2 mm in height, making it easy to install in tight spaces.

Yes, the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip has a fully encapsulated construction and an IP68 protection rating. This makes it suitable for damp environments and wet areas, but it is not designed for permanent submersion in water.

The Garmin ECLIPSE SL100 light strip integrates 60 LEDs per meter, ensuring uniform light diffusion along its entire length.

The ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip operates at a voltage of 12V DC. Its typical current draw is 0.41 A at 12 V per meter (per channel), with a nominal power consumption of approximately 5 Watts per meter (per channel). For a 2.5-meter strip, the total consumption is about 1.025 A and 12.5 Watts.

Yes, the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip is made from UV-resistant material. However, it is recommended not to install it in areas exposed to strong and prolonged direct sunlight to optimize its durability.

Yes, you can cut the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip. To do so, unroll the strip on a flat surface and identify the cut points. Use a pair of scissors to cut precisely at these points, making a single cutting motion through the center of the cut marks.

To seal the cut end, follow these steps:

At the end to be sealed, remove 20 mm of the adhesive backing. Lightly score the adhesive 10 mm from the end using a blade. Peel the tape from the score line to expose the silicone underneath. Fill the end cap halfway with the supplied silicone adhesive. Attach the end cap and wipe away any excess adhesive. Allow 24 hours for curing before handling the tape. Do not use chemical cleaners.

When installing the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip, take the following precautions:

Always ensure the boat’s power source and battery are disconnected or isolated.Unroll the LED strip carefully from the reel and do not drop it or allow it to twist.Do not apply pressure to the LED area; press only the edge of the strip.Do not pull, stretch, twist, or bend the strip along the horizontal axis.Always use two people to install lengths longer than one meter.Always lay the strip flat in a straight line; do not allow it to bend, twist, or coil into a pile.

The ECLIPSE SL100 light strip offers notable flexibility with a minimum bending radius of 50 mm, but only on the vertical axis. It is imperative not to bend it on the horizontal axis or twist it, as this could damage it.

Yes, for outdoor installations in wet areas or on tight bends, it is strongly recommended to use mechanical fasteners in addition to the 3M adhesive layer. These fasteners should be placed every 250 to 300 mm or on either side of a bend. For best results, do not position them in line with the LEDs.

Before installation, thoroughly clean the mounting surface using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to ensure it is free of dust and dirt. Once the surface is clean and dry, remove the 3M adhesive backing and firmly press the edges of the light strip. Allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours before turning on the light.

A qualified professional should install the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip to ensure correct, safe, and code-compliant installation.

Although the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip is made from UV-resistant material, it must not be installed in areas exposed to strong and prolonged direct sunlight. Additionally, while it can be installed in damp areas, it is not designed to be permanently submerged in water.

Yes, if your ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip is single-color or dual-color, it can be connected to a simple on/off switch. However, ECLIPSE SL100 RGB LED strips must be used exclusively with an ECLIPSE control center and optional extension modules.

The ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip is designed to operate only on boats equipped with a 12V DC system. Its operating range is 10 to 15V DC. It must not be connected to voltages outside this range or directly to an AC voltage, as this may damage the product.

Yes, the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip is compatible with the ECLIPSE control center. For RGB LED strips, using the ECLIPSE control center and optional extension modules is even mandatory. For single-color or two-color LED strips, the control center provides advanced control options.

No, it is important not to add single-color, bicolor, and RGB LED strips to the same zone output of the ECLIPSE control center. Each type of LED strip must use a separate zone output for optimal operation and to avoid malfunctions.

You can connect a maximum of 20 meters of ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip per output zone of the ECLIPSE control center.

To maintain the warranty of the ECLIPSE SL100 LED strip, it is crucial to follow the correct steps for preparing and sealing the cut end as described in the installation guide. Failure to do so may compromise the waterproof properties of the assembly and risk voiding the product warranty.
