Thread: 12v LEDs for under gunnel lighting

    12v LEDs for under gunnel lighting

    Does anybody know where I can get hold of some 12v LED strip lights to mount under the gunnels for down lighting while night fishing? Would really need to be waterproof as I generally give it a goiod spray up there when cleaning the boat (its amazing where scales finish up).

    Have tried Jayco etc but they don't have anything suitable.

    I use BLUEWATER LEDS -

    http://www.bluewaterled.com/

    Conatac Mike via email and he will answer all your questions and offers a lifetime warranty on the ligths so thats whatdid the deal for me. A few of us have them here in QLD.

    Yes you really do want them waterproof because the salt air will get into them no matter what.

    Cheers

    Tunzafun,

    I just fitted some fully sealed units under the gunwhales - available from whitworths. Made some ally brackets (extrusion from bunnings) for fixing to the gunwhale braces which angles them nicely out to the floor.

    These are 4 led $14 but they do have 6 or 8's

    Cheers

    Where did you order your lights from Tim do you know what the part number was.
    That is one of the probelm I have with ordering those sort of things online, it's hard to know what you are geting, so I prefer to buy on a reccomendation of someone who is happy with the product.

    Thanks for that link. They are for blue ones. Do you use blue or white?
    Cheers,

    I'd be using red for under the gunnel.
    The red saves night vision.

    On mine I used a set of red and a set of white. I only use the white when I need the extra brightness.

    I've just completed this excercise.
    Bought a 5m roll of the same stuff timmdo is talking about with 100 waterproof endcaps from a wholesaler in china delivered for about $120.
    Cut the strip light so it was 3 LED sections, soldered 200mm of wire between them and used 3M tape to stick them under my gunwhales. Worked a treat.
