What model of ocean led's is the one I don't have to make holes in my transom to install? Anyone seen these in red or purple? Thanks

bajaboatnut 05-09-2010 07:53 PM

I think i have it narrowed down to the amphibians or s800 from ocean led, but like the prices more at h2olights.com

I have a 29 ft. baja do I need 3 or can I get away with 2 and it still look good?

Anyone use h2olights

OCEAN LED is the only way to go!!!

Does anyone have a set of red underwater lights on their boat? I understand they are not as good as blue/green/clear but want to match the colors of my boat and going for effect not efficiency.

Ocean LED awesome guys

I am partial to Shadow-Casters because a good friend is co-inventor and I get good deals on them. :-) But they are seriously killer lights though.

Blue travels the furthest in water followd by white. Red travels the least, thus you don't see them too much.

Past Due,

What's the price comparison from the Ocean LED's to the brand you carry (Abyss lighting). I see Ocean LED publishes their prices but Abyss doesn't...Sooooooo, how do we know they're over priced.

bajaboatnut 05-11-2010 03:50 PM

Almost made my decision but wanted to get some last input.

I almost decided on three s-800's from abyss, I like the amphibians fron ocean led but I don't see the difference for the price (A6 model) All the other ocean led surface mount require a much bigger hole for install.

I really like the looks of h2olights.com you get alot brighter light for the money but nit sure how the quality of the product is? Has anyone dealt with them. THanks again

I'm curious about how much light is transmitted underwater on interior waterways (i.e. rivers and lakes). I would love the blue variation, but I would think white light would broadcast farther in those conditions. That or green.

I install the Shadow-Caster transom lights, and I've gotta say, they're the simplest. You drill 1 hole for the wire to go through, then 2 wires for the screws. The light surface mounts, and it's only about a 1/4" thick. I don't have any pics in the water, or any in the dark, but here's one in my shop with all the lights on. These are teh SC-10's in Bimini Blue.

jonyb 05-13-2010 10:34 PM

also, here's a thread where a guy took almost all of the lights on the market and tested each one of them.

Which one is the best? You can decide right here: http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/m...21/702750.html

I have DeepSea 12 LED lights on mine. Easy install and they can be run when on plane.

just installed two oceanled 2010's on a black thunder. They were alittle pricey but you get what you pay for. dont think a four hundred dollar light is going to work as well as a thirteen hundred dollar light. Also you can compare the ligths by there lux rating. A 2010 has 12000 lux

Anyone tried these??? Liquid Lite

Just replaces your drain plug... I like the idea I can take it with me from boat to boat....

The boat with the tower has the smaller cheaper version, the other two boats have the brighter model.

The basic 3 LED model is 380 lumen and the 6 LED is 810 lumen

These guys are out of Ft lauderdale. They are a strong and robust designed with all the LED's encapsulated so no water can get in and bright. I have three of the "S" style blue lights.. For $99 a piece they are a far better value and better made when it comes to a "lens" all of them leak after a while.

miller001 01-24-2011 10:04 AM

Shadow-caster is the best we've installed durable, supper bright, and they look awesome!

Are these lights legal to have on while running?

underwater LED
 
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.
