Incroyable ton idée le cousin !! j'aime vraiment beaucoup ... For a test i'm gonna try 2 small submersible RGB LED spot light (w/ a remote and 16 colors) attach to the swimplate bracket to see what it's like, if it's isn't powerful enough i think i'm gonna steal this idea to !!

Merci Olivier pour ton commentaire
I also thought about a RGB underwater with the same kind of 24 SMD 5050 led.
The main problem of this idea is that a 5050 SMD has 3 luminous dots. Means on my blue led, there is 3 blue dots. On a RGB, there is one blue, one red and one green. So, for the same number of LEDs, for a specific color, you will have 3 times less power than a one color led light.
That's why I choose blue ones.
But I plan to build next year a stage 2 of my concept with powerful 10w RGB led modules.
Keep us informed when you build your RGB system

Hey guys !
I went back to my construction shop to see where the plastic sheet are from.
Here is what is written on the back :



On the Hettich website, you will find nothing with the 22110 reference. But maybe you can contact them (there are 2 sellers in USA) to ask where to find it ...

We compare photos of our MC X35 $$$$$$ Leds in water and my DIY system ... I'm not shy with my cheap led, you can build it closed eyes, you will be happy with the cost/result

Not easy to find the good translation of this thing ...

I just ordered some bulbs off of amazon and am going to check the hardware stores for the casters. Looks good!

Did you wire yours into your interior lights switch?

[Sdc77]

Hi Jasun,
I have 3 switches on the dash that I use for leds :
"int" is switching interior leds
"court" is switching undewater leds
"acc" (on le right side, I have another on the left) is switching the tower leds

And still have the "nav" and "Anchor" swithes for dedicated lights.

What bulb do you order on amazon ? Can you post the link ? I'm curious, because the 24 SMD 5050 Led bulb I found in France seems to not be easy to find ...
