APP Control (Marine)
Hydra Edge connects instantly to the easy to use and super powerful Mobius control app. (free on google play or the app store) Program, add to groups containing other AI equipment, access templates, set scenes, the options are endless.
Mounting Features
Important New Developments in Mounting the Hydra Edge.
Hydra Edge lights are mounted using two M8 threaded holes on the left and right side of the fixture.
There are two sizes 44 and 68 of “c” brackets and two types - back mount (3) and top mount (4).
“C” brackets allow the light to be angled (1). In the case of a single mount both back and top brackets provide this capability. In the case of the traditional top mount (4) “c” bracket the light can also be rotated 180 degrees.
Flex arm kits and hanging kits will be immediately available for Hydra Edge. HMS kits and hybrid kits must be used with the appropriate sized adapter kit (HYDE44AK or HYDE68AK) until HMS kits are revised to replace Hydra parts with Hydra Edge parts.
HYDE44AK contain both a top mount and a back mount “c” bracket for a single Hydra Edge 44HD/ 44HD FW. HYDE69AK contain both a top mount and a back mount “c” bracket for a single Hydra Edge 64HD
