Can anyone tell me if either MBY or MBM ever published an article comparing different under water lights? Unfortunately, you can not search for old copy on this site anymore which is a shame.
Thanks
Thanks

Tee hee! Pete, mapism is rounding up. With all 12 lights at full brightness they pull around 60 amps at 24v. So that's fine for say 1.5 hours at anchor sans genset even with the other loads on the boat. Genset is on 7-8pm for making dinner and half an hour of airco before going to bed so it works fine. In practice I often flick some of them off rather than run all 12 and then the consumption is irrelevant. :encouragement:LOL, you don't want to know, P. Jfm doesn't have two 20+ kW gensets onboard for nothing!
The mortals among us should keep not only the genset with its battery charger, but also the mains running with their alternators, to feed those things...
PS: 'fiuaskme, I'd rather swim at night in complete darkness anyway, with neither any noise nor exhaust fumes! :encouragement:
Sorry for drift but, is there any chance of a few pix of your new boat, Nigel? I am quite drawn towards cats, and would be interested to see more and also read your initial thoughts having taken delivery.I’ve had x 2 Ocean LED XFM Gen2 fitted to the new boat - very happy with them and the IOS app is good fun. All colours and lots of disco effects. Not sure I’d give Match 2 a run for its money but worth a look for really bright, very controllable and with a 12/24v option - although I run mine from the inverter.

+1. A sailing Cat is something in my future wish list.Sorry for drift but, is there any chance of a few pix of your new boat, Nigel? I am quite drawn towards cats, and would be interested to see more and also read your initial thoughts having taken delivery.
Jfm’s lights look enough for a Rihanna stage show, never mind having her music on the sound system. Outstanding!!!
Will do, it’ll more likely be a video - (which I’m working on now the weather is a little dull).Sorry for drift but, is there any chance of a few pix of your new boat, Nigel?
