Information for use
sera Nano LED light
Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future use. When forwarding this unit to third parties,
this information for use is also to be handed over.
Thank you for choosing the sera Nano LED light.
This universal clip lamp is suited especially for terrar-
iums that are open on top, for aquaterrariums and for
nano aquariums. Using modern, particularly energy ef-
ficient SMD LED chips ensures excellent lighting with
very low energy consumption. The voltage at the lamp
is only 12 V due to using a ballast integrated in the plug.
The sera Nano LED light is simply attached to an edge
and clips up to 10 mm (0.4 in.) material thickness. The
flexible goose neck allows easy adjustment of the lamp
head. The lighting intensity can be adjusted individually
by means of the dimmer integrated in the lamp base and
the rotary switch (1.1.5).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please be sure to read carefully!
Do not look directly into the LED light from a short dis-
tance! This may cause eye damage!
Application and application range
The clip holder allows for universal use up to 10 mm
(0.4 in.) material thickness. The sera Nano LED light is
well suited especially for open aquaterrariums. Special
zones of the setup can be lighted in a directed way in
case of larger aquaterrariums. Usage as moonlight above
bigger aquariums when using blue LED chips (not includ-
ed) is also an interesting application.

Assembly instruction and operation (fig. 2)
Select an edge (2.1) onto which the lamp is to be in-
stalled. The fastening screw (1.1.6) of the clip holder (2.2)
is loosened by a little more than the material thickness.
Push the clip holder onto the edge and fasten the screw
by hand. The 12 V DC plug is pushed into the opening
underneath the clip holder (2.3). Now the ballast can be
plugged into the mains socket. The sera Nano LED light
is switched on at the rotary switch of the dimmer (2.4).
Cleaning
The casing of the sera Nano LED light can be wiped
with a slightly moist cloth. Do not use any organic sol-
vents or abrasive cleaners.
Maintenance
In case some of the LEDs should fail after a longer time,
you can still operate the lamp. The function of the other
LEDs is not affected. The LED lamp unit should be re-
placed if the light intensity of the lamp is not sufficient
any more.
Replacing the LED chips (fig. 3 – 4)
Disconnect the sera Nano LED light from the mains
supply. Take the sera Nano LED light off the aquarium
or terrarium and place it on a solid support. Please first
remove the two screw covers (3.1) and the screws locat-
ed underneath (3.2) on the front side of the lamp. You
can now take off the front side of the lamp (3.3). Now
the transparent protection pane (3.4) can be pulled out
towards you, and you will get access to the fastening
frames of the LED chips (3.5).
All LED units have a separate fastening frame with a bay-
onet lock (3.5 and 4.1). Turn the fastening frame counter-
clockwise until the end (4.1), then pull it gently out of the
lamp casing (4.2). The LED chip has two wire pins on the
back side which are used to push it into the lamp sock-
et (4.3). The LED chip is pulled vertically from the socket
without rotating it (4.3).
Inserting the LED chips takes place in reversed order
(4.4 / 4.5).
