AquaForte Floating Fountain Lighting Set – 3 x 6W

AquaForte Floating Fountain Lighting Set – 3 × 6W

Three lights to illuminate the spray from an AquaForte floating fountain

The AquaForte floating fountain lighting set adds an illuminated display to the fountain after dark. The set contains three lights rated at 6W each and is offered as a separate lighting accessory. It is intended for the AquaForte floating-fountain system, so check the fountain model and its mounting arrangement when planning an addition to an existing installation.

This listing is for the lighting set. The fountain pump, float and interchangeable spray heads form the separate fountain assembly. Adding lights changes the appearance of the display; it does not change the pump’s flow or the shape produced by the selected nozzle.

Positioning the lights around the spray

The AquaForte fountain manual describes clipping the optional lights into the float’s mounting points and securing each one with its tension screw. The lamps can then be aimed towards the spray. Plan their positions around the pattern you use, and check the result from the main viewing area rather than judging it only from immediately beside the fountain.

When fitting the lighting, follow the manual for the actual fountain and electrical equipment. Route the interconnecting cables without pulling on the connections and secure the power-cord strain relief as instructed. The fountain’s flotation and mooring arrangement should remain properly supported after the lights are fitted.

Lighting controls

The combined 18W figure is the sum of the three stated lamp ratings. When planning the electrical installation, use the ratings on the supplied power equipment and the fountain itself to assess the complete system, including any controller. The lamp total is not a specification for the fountain pump.

The manufacturer’s system instructions describe a separately available control panel with a lighting connection and photocell behaviour. If that controller is part of your installation, follow its instructions for the lighting outlet and operating schedule. The lighting set alone should not be treated as a replacement for the controller or as evidence that a timer is included.

Routine cleaning and seasonal care

Disconnect power to the fountain and lights before maintenance. The AquaForte manual recommends periodic cleaning of the light lenses with a non-abrasive brush and cleaner. Inspect the cables and connections at the same time, particularly after moving the fountain or removing it for storage.

For winter storage, the manufacturer instructs owners to remove the fountain and lights before ice forms and store the lighting above freezing. Before returning the system to service, inspect the power cord, connectors and seals and address any damage in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Keeping these checks part of the fountain’s seasonal maintenance helps avoid overlooking the lighting connections.

Choosing an accessory for the correct fountain

Start with the make and model of the fountain you already own. Similar-looking floating fountains can have different lamp mounts and electrical connections. This AquaForte accessory should be selected for its intended system rather than on the assumption that any three-lamp kit will fit any float. Keep the fountain’s model details and operating manual available when planning the installation.

If your fountain is an Oase model, compare the dedicated Oase white LED floating-fountain light set and check the compatible models listed there. It is a separate range with its own fitting requirements. Selecting by fountain family first helps you avoid ordering a lighting accessory simply because its appearance resembles the existing one.

Getting the best view of the illuminated display

Consider where the fountain is normally viewed from, such as a terrace, seating area or path. Aim the lights towards the water pattern rather than directly towards that viewing position. Once the system has been installed in accordance with its instructions, assess the display in darkness and make any adjustment only after disconnecting the power and following the manufacturer’s access procedure.

The spray pattern and the direction of the lamps work together to create the appearance of the display. If you later change the fountain head, review the lamp positions again rather than assuming the previous arrangement gives the same result. Keep the lenses clean before adjusting their direction: deposits on a lens can affect the appearance of the light without there being a fault in the lamp itself.

Refer to the AquaForte floating-fountain manual for the system’s illustrated mounting and maintenance guidance. Retain the instructions supplied with your own lighting set, especially when identifying electrical connections and any separately fitted controller.
