    If we can find these in rgb you will be onto something. Kind of getting sick of the blue until I pull up to my friends dock and everyone goes craZy.

    I found them in Red, and also in white.

    The white to me seem boring. the red is supposedly brighter.

    RGB would be neat, but would also be 1/3 as bright since instead of having 3 LED's per chip they'd only have one of each color, correct? So you'd be sacrificing brightness for color changing...

    I'm assuming the answer is yes, but does anyone know for sure if these (the lights in the epoxy) will overheat out of the water?

    I don't see how they would over heat since they are lights to use in your house.

    But since they're being encased in epoxy, it seems like they would overheat, if they're left on for an extended period of time out of the water.

    I actually tested them out of the water. My first one didn't come out right. I wanted to test it out so I plugged them into a transformer and kept them on for 24 hours. No problems
