Just curious, at $74,900.00 each, how many did you install?

That's funny. They just chaged that price. Apparently it is a new product.

I think I am going to go with a pair of the Ocean LED A8's (Blue). The only thing that I am not crazy about is the white housing around the outside of the unit. The A6's look great behind Tom's Donzi...that was the look that I was going for.

Check out the Lumishore SMX Series. Really nice lights and very bright. We have installed many brands but these have been the brightest by far regardless of what lumens manufactures have listed. Mine are color change.

They advertise in OSO parts & accesories and I think there was a discount.

On my 353 there is a lower "drain plug" and 2 more plugs right above for oil changes. I ordered 2 of these LED lights and installed them replacing the oil drain plugs. I bought blue and the most powerful they had, if these are the good ones the lens is fish eyed and really spreads the light out. Positives are easy install and light is crisp and clear. Drawback is you need to watch the wiring so it doesn't wind up every time you access the plugs.

I can't find a price on those? I must be doing something wrong... I see prices from 220 to 1 grand. Can you give me an idea of what 1 unit/light would go for.

Those look great by the way! What model or output?

The light has three color choices, selected by toggling the power on/off to change between blue, white, and blue-white together. That center light is set to blue-white together, kinda looks like an 8k HID. The combination pictured is my favorite, but any blue or white configuration is possible by cycling power off/on to select one of the three options.

Picture was taken on Seneca Lake, clean water here in Fingerlakes Region of NY. The lights looked great at Key West as well, attracting fish to the boat in the harbor.

Need to know what model you want. I can get you a price from the supplier

Any feedback or other options are appreciated. Super slammed at the office, but will be checking back when I can.

Anyone know how many LED's the below boat/Kryoptonite has (4, 6 or 10)?

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o44371-en.html
Keytime,

That kryptonite was my old boat. They are two SC-10's, ocean blue. They lit up the murkey waters of long island extremely well. We installed them in line with the running surface of the boat(on an angle). My friend had a scorpion (24ft) with one red light just below the gimbal and it lit it up good as well, it just didn't have the width the kryptonite did. With two SC-10's the water was lit up 3ft going forward and 3ft out along each side.
