Underwater LED lighting
Submitted by Oracle on Thu, 2011-07-28 17:51
Guys,
Looking at getting some underwater LED's for the back of the Stabi. No particular reason outside of something "pretty" to light up the water at anchor or night when coming home. Bit of Bling really.
Anyone know much about them at all?
Cheers

where did you see them?
Who sells them locally so I can get an idea of where I can put them? The Stabi is limited cause of the sealed sections.
Is blue better for squid? I heard this today.

i got them from the us
your welcome to come see mine
i was thought blue was better but i have bee told the white is a stronger light it penertrates at a greated rate than anyother colour
have a search on some us forums they seem to be right onto what colours work best
you could have the best of both worlds these ones can have colour changed as you feel like it
i enquired for a price was like $3000 will go some of these on my new boat in a few years
