I switched Navigation and decorative lights to LED and love them.
http://www.yachtlights.com/ is where i went, they were easy to deal with

for the under the gunwal lights, i went with BLUE and am glad i did - If you have a white or light colored deck, the red lights look PINK

BLUE looks sharp

Thanks for all the replies and information. It seems a friend of mine, who I haven't fished with for a couple months installed LED lighting on his ride. I will check out his setup. Seems he installed spreader lights and under gunnel lighting as well. He is soon installing nav. lights as well.
I can't mention his name on CBA (not even a whisper) as his spies will report me and I'll be banned from his boat

.
I'll let you know how they look once I get to inspect them.

Hi Marty, we do LED's on boats weekly. Under gunwale, spreader, interior, underwater, etc. Just give me a call and I can help you pick out whatever you need.

The caprera lights mentioned above are nice for spreaders but are metal. We all know what powdercoated metal looks like on a boat after a few years. They can't make theirs out of modern plastic because it would get too hot. We brought in a new technology that enables us to provide the same amount of light but hardly generate any heat. So ours are the first plastic spreader lights that will last a long time in the marine environment. Plus they have a bunch of other bullet points that other light manufacturers haven't even thought of yet. Like the ball mounting system, interchangable lense system and more.

Gary; I'll use those new "compact fluorescent" lights. They have mercury in them. Between the mercury in them and the fish I eat, I'll be glowing in the dark and won't need new lighting

I bought Lunar's from Jim, they are great for the money. Best on the market.

Is that $140 price for a set of lights or just 1?

Seems a little high for one 4 inch light or is that about the going rate for LED's?

yachtjim · #9 10-07-2010, 07:53 PM

Its per 1 light. They are pricey but its the going rate. If we ever get to building them in the thousands they'll come down to well under a hundred. But that is a year away at least. Right now during the boat show they are $119 until 10/21. Ours are priced right inline with any other quality LED.

It's pricey, but I tell you, I replaced 2 traditional floods with 1 of those Lunars! They are bright. I have a 34 foot boat and they light up the aft deck.
