Underwater Boat Lights

[Shawn]

Im thinking about making my own and starting to sell these things on Ebay. The real ones range from 700-2000 a piece, I used to install them on boats I built for Novurania. A guy on one of the boat forums I frequent started building homemade versions with led lamps in acrylic boxes and the response was so good he started a website:

Code:

www.coastalnightlights.com

Im going to try making these for a buddy on a boat we just picked up and see how it works out but Im going to use CREE emitters instead of LED light because I can get them cheaper, would need less of them and they are BRIGHT. When I get my prototype put together I'll post some pictures.

Yah they are pretty cool though when you are off shore and have thousands of baitfish swirling underneath your boat.

I like those though, if I get a boat, I want some.

Got some demo stuff coming to me from a company I wont name. They make polymers and have one that is made from plastic and highly milled aluminum so it actually acts as a heatsink while still able to stand up to salt water and other weather elements. I had them ship me a 3/8's inch sample to try out, it should work great. This stuff starts to melt at 270 degrees Celsius so its overkill for what I am using it with.

So are you going to try this on George's boat?

Yah Im going to build some using Q5 CREE Emitters and see how they work out.
