Building your own underwater Led

[Sdc77]

Same here,
I tested it few hours out of water when I finished it, no problem. And I have to say that they have now 3 years of almost every summer day use, and they are still alive !
I remember those factories on a friends MC X35 died one by one dot every month.

You can go with those SMD cheap Led Montgomery, it's so cheap that you can build 20 units until you hit a commercial underwater led price

I picked up 5 and about to order more, just for the heck of it. I have blue LEDs in random spots throughout the boat to light up the inside at night, but I think I may replace them with these to really light that thing up lol

Oh man it will be very shiny ! Did you take a look at my RGB Inside setup ?
I didn't pour resin on it, and they still work :

Nice and shiny man
Already tested underwater ?
Do you go with or without castor holder ?
What Led do you use ? Those with or without bulb ?

I haven't had it in the water yet, I couldn't find anywhere in the States or that shipped to the States the deep casters so I used rubber plumbing 2" end caps. Here is the link to where I got the LED's

The LEDS have a limiter rectifier on the back, if you just cut that of, and solder the wires directly to the disk they will burn more intense. Btw. Really no need for it on a carbattery.

Has anyone found the led lights in the USA. Want the make a few for my bass boat and don't want to wait a month for them to ship from China.

When I got mine off eBay they were here in a week or two at most.

Trying to get them this week. I pulled my bass boat out last weekend to wash and wax it. Was hoping to get them on before I put it back in.
