I am definitely going to get some light installed on my 2001 230BR before the season starts. Just have to talk to MarineMax here and see what they offer.
Underwater Lights
- Thread starter Petep
- Start date
I have designed and tested 48LED underwater lights on my 39 ft Sea Ray Express that are made of polycarbonate plastic. They are a fully sealed unit that can be mounted on the outside of the boat transom or under the swim platform.
Since I am a boater myself I realize the voltage variances in boating do to generators and battery chargers. LED’s hate voltage spikes so these units have an exclusive patented circuitry to protect against over-current and can be operated at 12, 18, or 24 volts. If they see to much voltage they will simply dim down and then come back to full power.
LED’s will last for 50,000 hrs.
These lights are high powered LED lights; they are available in green, blue or white.
For anyone that is a member of the Sea Ray Club they are available for $50.00 dollars each
plus shipping.

Doug ... Do you have any pics that you can post?
I'm not sure if I want the lights mounted at the transome or under the swim platform. I'm thinking the platform will be a cleaner install and easier maintanence.
Thanks in advance!

Found some LEDs here too http://www.plasmaled.com/high_power_module.htm
I will post pictures of the 48 LED lights and demension.
As for a web site these are brand new to the market; even though they have been tested for over 2 years.
I even have the blue lights attached to my car so when the fog lights are on they are on too. This was another test to be sure they would not over heat when run out of water. I will send pics of the LED's on the front of the car.
The ones on my car have run flawless; I have been asked by other car owners if they can buy them for their car. I did not expect that, I was only testing them.
These are ultra bright LED's I recomend not to look into them when light.

The sooner the better on the details and information. I am making my purchase in the next 4 weeks so I can install in March before the first splash. Not sure if 48 is too many for my 25' LOA 230 BR.
I put up pictures of the 48 LED lights on the modification site. You will see that they are made of high quality plastic; reason for this is to avoid corrosion that can happen with the other metal alloy ones. Also these are fully sealed so they will not leak. As I have stated on the other site there is some sealer that protruded through by the lights it will not hurt anything during the assembly there was just too much sealer used.
This is why this run of lights are being sold for $50.00 instead of $90.00
And they are underwater or under a swim platform so who will see them up close once they are installed

Think twice about mounting any u/w lights without glass lenses on boats that are wet-slipped.

Mine will be wet-slipped. Still haven't found anything and still unsure of mounting to underthe swim platform facing down, or on the transom facing back.

On a lake?
Probably no big deal, all you get is algae.
The hard growth we get around here would scratch the hell out of an acrylic light getting it off.
I have to use a steel putty knife to get the tubeworms and barnacles off mine- and that's diving the boat every couple of weeks in the summer.

Jrock, A friend of mine put those on his 30DA and loves them, had it up north for a while but just moved to Florida.
I bought 3 AL75H from www.aqualights.org but have not installed them yet. Paid them $600 through EBay including shipping.

I paid 21.95 each for these. I also bought the blue bulbs for $8.00 each :grin:
I boat in fresh waters so they should last awhile. :smt038
Light set includes:
• Fiber-composite watertight fixture
• 50 watt (clear) MR-16 Halogen bulb
• 15' feet of powercord
