Under water lights

Just took this, anchored in the Exumas. That s a pair of Ocean LEDs.

I ve use Lumitech Seablaze in the past and never got them to last more than 1 to 2 years. Cheaper than Ocean LEDs though

3 years so far. its all about voltage, heavy gauge wire, and well grounded.miss molly lights 1 small.jpg

I just installed 4 new Lumitec Spectrum X2's and am very happy with them. Great lights for the price and I prefer the surface mounts with only a small hole for the wire. Sorry for the large picture and its weird orientation, it's my first time uploading a pic.

Myself and two friends placed a bulk order for three boats when Ocean Led released the 3010 model. They were very bright but all failed quickly with zero support. It was a $5K experiment for me.

That’s why I went with Aqualuma. The light itself is all inside the boat and never gets wet. Yes you have to put 3” holes in your stern. The light in reality is waterproof. And will never have an issue with electrolysis because the housing is carbon fiber.

I put 6 SeablazeX's on last year. 2 were dead within a few months and a third likes to flicker and dim. Was going to add 6 more this spring but having second thoughts....

Before I went ahead, I checked with a marine electrician, and called Lumitec support.
They said problems are 99pct voltage drop. My setup is at the upper end of voltage at the light, and no issues. Call them for assistance.

On the last haul out I bought two Lumtec SeablazeX's to install. One was DOA. Lumtec did replace it without any hassle which was a plus. Now less than 1.5 years in, the other one has just up and died. Lumtec said they will replace it if I send it back, but I won't be able to do that until my next haul out and then I'll have to wait for the turn around time on the replacement. Not real happy with them.

Many of these lights have a driver that specs input voltage of 9-32v. Has anyone tried to run these at 32v? I know a 32v system will produce voltage higher than 32v so that may not be a good idea. But, if they need to be at the upper level of the input voltage, maybe 32v is the answer.

Thanks for all the pictures. I can definitely see me doing this.
