Underwater lights (cost effective)

[Dan Mapes]

Those LED lights are great. Low power etc.. But geeze they'll soak ya. Has anyone seen anything reasonable that will mount in the SIDE of the hull as well as the transom?
Halogen is ok I suppose. I was looking at the UWBR-HAL line.

We bought 3 very nice LED lights for underwater at our transom. The total price was $550.00. They are well made, look nice, and work great.

Are we allowed to discuss brand and model here? Just curious what you chose.

If you're posting a positive review on a product or service, there's never a problem. It's the bashing a specific vendor or small company that we need to be careful with.

I have these http://www.barnegatlt.com/Product%20Pics/QLSPL.htm
They call them swim platform light but I have them on the transom under the water. Have other friends with them on for 5-6 years. Got them through Lewis marine a little over $100 ea. Work great yes I have seen better one but they all were $300 ea and up. Bruce "Johngalt" here has some nice LED ones that were not a heavy hit on the walet. I know why you ask this question some of these light have a Insane price tag.

Dan, I have three Abyss S-600 led' s on my transom that I purchased direct from www.abysslite.com for 169.00 each. As Dan[34hatt] says they are very nice lights and only require a 3/8" hole in the transom. They are about the diameter of a hockey puck and half as thick. The install was very simple and took about 2 hours total. The service from the company was first rate. I think though, that if I had to do it again I would spend a little more on the next model up I think it is the S-800 for 230.00 each. I love the lights and get lots of compliments on them, but the murkiness of the water here in the northeast would probably been better handled by the more powerful model. If you are in more southern waters the cheaper lights should be fine. Happy hunting. Bruce aka johngalt

Abyss has raised their prices for the 600 model from $169 to $210.
They have actually raised all prices. I do not like companies that keep increasing their prices when get promoted in message boards..

I am looking to buy some of these lights, let me know if you know where I can get them for the original price

There is a guy over on THT that is making and selling a surface light that looks pretty good.
Here is the link if it works.

As seen in this thread http://www.thehulltruth.com/forums/t...d=179810&start...

They will be slimmer in design and sell for 150.00 each or 125.00 each for two or more. I can make the power exit the back of the unit to straight through the transom or out the top to be run up the transom.

My PM box is going nuts so please post here with quantity and configuration. If you already PMd me then I already have you down.

Thanks
Chris
