is the LED more of a directional type light over a glowing type light?

Those are Truck-Lite brand cargo strips. Outrageously overpriced if you buy them through normal channels. I came across them as uber-cheap surplus.

check out west marine. They have a pretty decent selection of led lighting

Rob try this place I have these in my boat.

Interesting. I bought some LED conversion bulbs from "SuperBriteLEDs.com", which turns out to be the same company. Great products, great prices, fast shipping, and VERY helpful on the phone.

I couldnt find any of the strips on there?

FYI, i installed yellow LEDS under my bolsters, throughout the cockpit and in the motor compartment. For some reason, i never got the "glowing" effect. They are like miniature spotlights trained on a small circle about 3" around.. It sucks, provides no light for the area I wanted to light up.. I think they have to be turned "sideways" when they are installed instead of pointing straight down.. just my experience..

You'll get a more even light with neon compared to LEDs. It all depends on what you are looking for.

Call them Rob they have what you need They had them on the site I dont know where they went.

I used super bright on my Fountain.I used the string type in the engine compartment.There is a light every 6 inches on a strand with a 3m sticky type backing.They light the whole engine area up.The LED's don't use any watts to run compared to neon witch require alot of voltage to run.
