Default LED Shifter & Throttle

What do you think?
Actually made these a few years ago. Just pulled them out because I want to run the wire in a tube as its pulling away and change to RGB led's.

Actually they look very bright in that camera shot. I think because they were taken on a white background paper. They are not that bright, here they are in the boat.

Looks good!
I have same problem, getting an picture of LEDS that are a true rendering.

You still making your underwater LEDS? Followed that during your design/build process. Curious how that turned out.

Figure I would start a new thread to throw ideas out to the people that might want to make them.

When I saw it the other day I was curious where you put your led and what you used for the lenses.

I only did this one. Turned out ok. Actually have a new design in my head that I need to get working on.

Its aimed kind of at the top off the throttle, I wanted the light to reflect and not be brighter on one side. The lenses are just White Acrylic hole sawed then sanded down for a tight fit.
