Underwater Lights

[Summer Fun II]

PM me because I can't put a link to it . Do to a vendor that supports this site :smt001

Slack250 I like the light but I have one question, when you installed them did you have to bond the aluminum light to the bonding bus in the boat [ # 10 green wire to zinc ]

Keep in mind that if you use "trim tab" type lights the boat needs to be out-of-water to do any work on them. On bigger boats that are wet-slipped, it could cost you $300 to change a light bulb...

 

[Summer Fun II]

What !! $300 dollars to change a light bulb ???. :smt021
Wow I'm glad I don't stay at your marina.

I can use the marina's travel-lift as many times as want to for FREE. :smt038

 

[tobnpr]

Yup...$300 for a short-haul.

I got my boat in the water over the past weekend and was really bummed that I remembered to take pictures of the 48 LED blue lights I installed AFTER I had it slipped in the marina!

DOH!

I installed one on each side of the outdrive on the transom facing back for a total of 2 lights.

I haven't been down there at night yet, so I don't know what they look like lit yet. I WILL post pics of that when I do. I also have 2 more in case those don't do the job.

I'm almost done installing two Oznium and two PlasmaLED lights. A flood on each side, and two spots in the middle. They are on the underside of the swim platform. I'm VERY impressed, can't wait to see how it looks in the water. I drilled a hole through the transom above the water line, and turns out there was two extra hot and ground wires behind the two blank accessory spots on my helm. I've got just over $100 in it, including the cable tracks to hide the wiring. Not a bad bang for the buck mod if you ask me.

I am about to order some of the Oznium LEDs also and was trying to decide where to mount - under the platform or on the trim tabs. Will you report back how well under the platform works in the water?

 

[firecadet613]

Will do. If you're interested, I have two white ones I didn't use. PM me if you want them.

jpk33 has them under his, and I think they look great. Look at his signature pic and you'll see them.

I installed 2 sets of blue LED lights that I bought from a memeber of CSR who makes them. They were relativily inexpensive and the install was easy. We had a nasty storm last week and our waters look like coffee so the lights didn't seem as bright as I thought but again the waters were really murky/dirty. I will take some in water pictures this weekend and post next week.

I put a set of LED lights on my 340da. They said that they would project 35 feet. I am thinking 20 at the most. Although the water is not crystal clear but pretty clear. It is a nice effect at night but I guess not as much as I thought. Also you should mount then only 6 inches underwater and are not suppost to turn them on out of the water so they say.

Just wired up with heat shrink butt spliced and placed inside "Cable Hiders" to clean it up. The lights I smeared 4200 on the back and held in place with duct tape until it cured.

These were taken in a murky lake...but in Lake Michigans clear water you can see down a bit...past outdrive/tabs.

After years of research, I finally added LED underwater lights. They are from Shadow Caster LED. www.shadow-caster.com
Great guys to deal with and a fraction of the price of OceanLed. Just as bright. Will post pics soon

 

[Patina]

I went for a slightly cheaper version, and used 1 w. white LED sealed lights from www.plasmaled.com

They work great!

would you go to the 3w or are the 1w quite brite

 

[JediJD]

Jims, how did the install go? Got the pics yet?

Has anyone had experience doing lights on a 2003-09 500DA?
Or
What's been working the best these days?
