As I mentioned in a previous post, the rooster tail illumination behind my boat is 35 feet long when the boat is on-plane at cruising speed... not too shabby. Next year I plan on taking some high def. video from a boat running parallel to mine.

As far as the cost, I had NO plans to spend that much when I started my search for underwater LED lights, (!) but NO other company made purple underwater LED's not to mention all the other colors available at the push of a button.

Also, the fact that I didn't have to drill into my transom to install these lights kind of sealed the deal for me!

Those other brands of LED's mentioned in this thread including the coastals DO look pretty bright and the prices are even better, but unfortunately for me, I had to have purple.

You guys don't have to try to convince me that I'm crazy for spending that kind of $$$ on underwater lights for my boat... I KNOW I'm nuts! :crazy:

Have you guys tried the style that bolt directly to the top of trim tabs?

I am suprised with the number of sharp guys on this board with mechanical and/or business experience [in some cases both] no one has designed there own underwater lights? It would really only take a waterproof housing and some good LED's, which I have seen "dirt" cheap from a few offshore suppliers and you could "corner the market", its beyond what I could do, but, just puttin' it out there....

Anyone know who manufactures red underwater LEDs? I would like to match the underwater transom lights with my red led cockpit lights.........
