Probably the most advanced underwater luminaires in the world
The housing of UL800 is made of pure, heavy-duty Stainless Steel to withstand the harshest conditions, day-in day-out for decades. It is designed to protect the light source from corrosion, aggressive water and impacts, requiring minimal maintenance and always looking brand new. The exceptional waterproofing offers IP68 protection degree for up to 2m / 6ft water depth.
288 Lumens per LED. Just a number, but it means that these lights are the world’s brightest underwater luminaires.

Pure Stainless Steel
The housing of UL800 is made of pure, heavy-duty Stainless Steel to withstand the harshest conditions, day-in day-out for decades. It is designed to protect the light source from corrosion, aggressive water and impacts, requiring minimal maintenance and always looking brand new. The exceptional waterproofing offers IP68 protection degree for up to 2m / 6ft water depth.
Microprocessor Inside
All luminaires incorporate cutting-edge microprocessors that constantly monitor the luminaire’s status & temperature, and at the same time communicate with the controlling device receiving and interpreting data about ID, color and intensity. As complicated as it might seem, the whole network works by itself. You don’t have to worry about voltage drop, over-voltage, polarity, over-heating, internal or external interference. Everything Just works. All you have to do is enjoy the limitless spectrum of 16.7 million colors.
Distance matters no more
UL800 can work under both 12V and 24V DC and anywhere in between without affecting light intensity. It also provides a 10% margin for voltage drop and over-current. And since the controlling information travels digitally within the same 3-wire cable, you can have a phenomenal cable length of up to 200 meters between the controller and the lights.
Four 3 Wires
The magic with TheSmartLEDs is that they require just a simple 3-wire cable to operate (no shielding required). The two wires are used for current and the third one is used for sending and receiving led:bus data. This drops cable costs by 25% and also makes installation much easier.
Self-Protection
UL800 thinks for itself so you don’t have to. If the temperature inside the fixture rises for any reason (e.g. operating outside of water), the microprocessor will gradually dim the light in 16 steps in order to cool down instead of just switching it off. This way, your fountain will keep being illuminated and the luminaire’s life-cycle is extended.
Flicker Free
A major drawback of low-end LED luminaires is the flickering effect created on the fast-moving water surface. Apart from annoying, this effect can cause serious health problems to spectators. We have eliminated this issue by utilizing special electronics inside the luminaire, raising the frequency to non-conceivable levels.
IP68 & CE
UL800, just like any other Fontana underwater luminaire offers exceptional, long-lasting waterproofing.
The ingress protection degree of UL800 is IP68 rated and certified for up to 2m / 6ft water depth. In addition, UL800 is CE certified.
Energy Efficiency
We managed to turn every single Watt into 1.427 Candelas, where halogen lamps output just 85 and even high-end, high-priced competitive LED luminaires offer no more than 275 cd/Watt.
To achieve this in the most reliable and professional way, we had to bypass a lot of limitations and boundaries. LEDIL’s (Finland) labs created a unique 24O lens exclusively for Fontana and TheSmartLED series. CREE (USA) helped a lot with numerous innovations and our engineers perfected the electronics.
The outcome allows you to have perfect illumination while using less light fixtures and pay up to 96.7% less in the electricity bill. It also minimizes your CO2 Footprint and saves tonnes of trees per year.
