Mounted deep, they wont be as bright at the dock(where you will have them on 95% of the time) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...a7c4c99b2f.jpg
Mine were probably a foot higher.

I opted to go the maxim depth Lumitec recommended, which is 16" below the waterline. I probably could have gone a little higher, but I wanted it below the gimbal, so the light would disperse better. Again, the water I boat in is crystal clear. There is no issue seeing the bottom in 15 feet of water. Lake Michigan it's even deeper and clearer. If I need to, I'll just ad another set of lights.

What brand of lights did you use?

Really like all these lights. Promised myself that I was done adding any rigging or toys to my boat. After 32 yrs polishing on the same boat....think I done....unless something breaks.

It's ok to break a promise you made to yourself.

I had 3 of the Dagon 5000. That pic is in the cloudy Grand River. Out in lake Michigan they were really bright. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e2a66547e.jpeg
