Under Gunwel Lighting

I found these online for $39 including postage.

It took 2.5 weeks to get them.

You know when you buy something on there you kinda think it may turn out pretty crappy.

Especially when its coming from china.

For that price i thought ill give it a go.

Come with a remote control and they are waterproof.

150 LED`s for 5 meters. Not to sure if they were going to be bright enough.

I had to buy the little jack plug for it and voula

Each LED has red/green/blue in it so they can do any light colour. The remote gas a red/green/blue and white button along the top. Then there is flash and fade buttons.

They work great and are plenty bright. There is also a 300 per 5m which would be even brighter.

I just urethained them under the gunwels.

I have a set coming for a friend but are a little different. They are 10m long but the internal white strip with the LED on it are encased in a soft resin, still waterproof and have 3m doublesited tape on them. Ill see what they are like.

I did the same on my 14 ft tinnie about a year ago. Damn brilliant. Under the gunwal is the trick, nothing to dazzle you at night but plenty of light. You can buy them at any length,any number of lights. And power consumption is almost nil compared with other lighting, but best of all is the price. I bought mine online for under ten bucks for 20 led's..including postage.

I did the same, I got 2 x 3 metre strips in resin with double sided tape already on them. Just wiped metho on where I wanted to put them and they are fantastic. I just got another 3 metre strip to mount in the top lip of my livewell tank so they face down. As I do alot of night fishing/prawning they are fantastic! Just light up the whole deck! And when I am prawning I turn the cd player on....I had a friend on the wharf about 50 metres away and he rang me and asked if I was having a rave!!!! I will post photos of my home made livewell when its done.
