Default LED's Recommendation

Any suggestions on what lights to use for transom underwater & then for the engine compartment?
Was thinking one of these for transom:

But no clue on what to use for engine bay.

For engine bay, go to superbrightled.com. Get some led strips, I think you can get a 5 pack which will be plenty bright enough. Underwater lights, there's many many choices but lumitec makes a good light for the money.

I have shadow casters for underwater lights and very happy with them. I even has one in the pool! I would post a couple pics but can't cause I am cheap.

Thanks. The Lumitec's were at my price point & received great reviews. I dont have the boat in the water enough for $600/light.
Superbrightled didnt have any purple strip lights, but now that i know what to look for i found some on google. But also buying some of their white ones to install beneath the engines to help with lighting when doing maintenance.

Slow. Nothing exciting to report lately. This weekend doing mock up of where new swim platform will mount to figure out where to move the tie downs, transom light etc, to do the glass work. Mainly been running up the cc & stockpiling the needed items.

Lots of threads on underwater lights. I used OceanLed A8's colour changing. Very happy with them. Keep an eye on ebay, sometimes there are decent deals to be had.
