If you look at your DC amp meter when you hit those lights you will believe in the technology pretty quick. The LED's draw next to nothing compared to the halogens which can take a bite out of your batteries and a lot of the energy they use goes to make heat not light.

I will probably make 2 20' strands of the rope lighting next as well. What color are you thinking about?

They make surface mounted LED's for underwater too but you need to put them in a protected place. I was thinking about mounting a set under the swim platform and not drill any holes in the boat below the wl... but one step at a time, let's see how this goes first.

BTW, I had an email conversation with this guy within a few minutes of my order, ships same day.

thats a good idea about the swim platform. I would do the same if I had one. Nothing to worry about there.

Did you say you already ordered the rope lights? I'm thinking I'm going to go with the blue.

I just ordered the spreader lights...I want to try them first. If it works out and they are rugged enough, I will add under-the-gunnel lights...(don't know about color though)
can't beat the price.
