Read all the way through that (very long thread) seemed like a ton of b!tch!ing and complaining, hte guy running the test could not seem to get his crap together. At the end of the thread there is a post that give another link for the results, and its a dead link.
So that kind of sux, anyway, Happy Hours, do you remember what the summery of the test results were?
Who did they pick as brightest/bet light of the ones they tested?

Here is what I installed on my 34 PC.

Yachtlights.com and Amphibian underwater lights.

I am sorry, I thought I saved the link to the results , you are right, link seems busted. The guy who did the tests "bought" all the lights with the agreement he would keep the ones he liked the best and return the others. Kinda a clever idea to get to try all the lights out. He kept the Shadow Casters.

For blue lights, what lumens should i consider. I am in Mass where the water isn't the clearest. Any suggestions?

As many as you can afford. :-) Water (especially dirty water) adsorbs a TON of light.

Thanks for the info Happy Hours, confirmed what I thought when I was looking at them during the boat show.

Not the best picture, but it shows the SC lights in red along with the blue and white.http://underwater-lightsusa.com/wp-c...olred_leds.jpg

led update
 
trying to do a follow up for anyone that I can find on the forum asking about underwater lights.

I went with Abyss Lite and got 4 of the 1560 RGB color changing LED lights. They are on the back of the boat, one on each side of each drive. My boat is a Formula 400ss.

I can tell you that the water here at my lake is one of the dirtiest I have ever experienced... It is FAR from clear.

The lights work AWESOME so far. VERY VERY VERY bright. So bright, that they actually shine up and OUT of the water much more than I expected. I put them as low on the boat as I could. Almost all of the colors work well. Red is probably the worst, but it still works very well in my opinion.

Granted, I have not had the luxury to see how underwater lights look out in the ocean or clear water, but I am happy with what I have here on my lake, so I can only imagie that it gets MUCH better.

I will get some pics up in the Formula section next week. Heading up to the lake tonight.
