Maiders Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have just received some through online and looking to get it fitted this week. I will let you know as soon as it is in. Can take a few pics as well if you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have LED lighting throughout my boat and love it, no more globes. Here's a photo of a strip that sits under my rocket launcher, it's 50cm long, about 1cm wide and 1cm thick. You can put these strips anywhere and they're made of aluminium and fully waterproof. You can get a few different types. Will PM you details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderace Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) This what i brought look up game.valley on e.b.a.y. , 2 x WHITE 48 LED Strip Light For all Style Cars 12V I put inside a 10mm aluminium channel, and double sided tape to underneath the gunnells I also built a dimmer for the LEDs as they are very bright at full strength the two photos at the bottom doesn't show the true extent of the dimming Edited January 18, 2011 by Thunderace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hmmm dimmer switch, now you got me thinking which is gonna cost more money haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helliconia Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I just put 2 x 1 metre strips of flexible LED's under the gunwales and they're great. The LED's aren't as large as yours and they're in the cool white colour so they're not as bright or harsh. I don't think they'll need a dimmer. I stuck mine high up under the gunwales so you can't see them when your seated. Starboard side was tricky with the engine control looms in the way. I'm really happy with them at $30 each.

locodave Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Gotta love LED technology! I bought some from a shop, They are small and expensive, I think $40 a strip. I have them on the pockets of my boat and they light up the hole rear area. Awesome! Will post pics later on.

Catchin Jack Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I got all my LED lighting from LED ONLINE The guy is in Qld and is very helpful. I found the quality to be of a high standard, not like lights you may get from other places, cheap and nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
