Boat underwater LED lights

[ACE]

Good Afternoon

This is such a great website forum, I have learned lots since just joining at the weekend !....

Anyone have an experience with underwater boat LED lights? I was looking at OceanLED http://www.oceanled.co.uk/index.php on the web site and was thinking about fitting some to my T40 as in the Pro series 2010/1520 Flush mounts http://www.oceanled.co.uk/component/oled_products/item/16.html (3 at the back and one at each side towards the rear) ?

You want lumishore lights, now fitted as OE by Fairline I think:

www.lumishore.com

Forumite EME is your man for these, and JFM has them fitted to his new sq 78, and also on his previous sq 58, and they were, er, brilliant...

Cheers
Jimmy

Yup, OceanLED are technically speaking very inferior to www.lumishore.com. A single Lumishore can give you more light than a set of 4 OceanLEDS. In addition the lumens per watt is much better with Lumishore, so you use less current from your battery for a given amount of light. In short this means Lumishores blast out light far further than OceanLEDs, efficiently

In addition, with OceanLEDs you have to choose a colour and that's it. With Lumishore you mix RGB so you can have any colour you want, via a quite smart controller. The 4 boats in the second pic below are all the same boat, photo-montaged

Anecdotally, there is a higher failure rate for OceanLEDs and that's hassle and costly (lift outs etc). Lumishores are built by engineers who know what they're doing with very high quality components

see pics below of my sq58, and search for lumishore on youtube for more

second that, Lumishore are the doofers, best by miles.

The Nautical equivalent of leaving your fog lights on on the car on a clear night. Just the job to make you look a real prat with more money than sense & no taste at all.

Yeah, go for it. It pays to advertise, & all sensible people will know to keep well clear of you 'coz you'll be blasting disco, or house muzak out all night on an otherwise lovely anchorage.

Oops seem to have touched a raw nerve I guess, I didn’t mean to offend You sir, each to their own I always say, it wouldn’t do it we all went about in exactly the same boats, cars, planes .... Life would be sooooo dull ! . Don’t appreciate being called childish names though (you don’t even know me…) whether I have more money than sense and what I do with it is entirely MY business. Live and Let Live !

Don't take the old codger too seriously, there's nothing he enjoys more than to pop over from scuttlebut and annoy the moboers. All adds to the fun of the forums

Anyone who went to the same school as Annie Lennox is alright in my book even though we have a better FP club.

Don't worry about him mate. He's just an old troll who gets a bit jealous and feels the need to stray over here and try to wind innocent mobo'ers up.

Don't worry about him ACE1. He is talking North Wales, where the lights mightn't be much use, but in the warm med it is different.

Incidentally, I don't think there is anything wrong with having more money than sense. I mean, suppose you find yourself with lots of money, what are you supposed to do? you can't just go back to school or whatever, to get more sense, can you? So do you give the money away? If you do, you must make sure to give it only to very sensible people, else you'll create a load more people with more money than sense. Tricky situation i reckon. Searush will no doubt advise

You leave our old raggie mate alone. We've adopted him from the rag and stick forum.

Anyway, he's said the only thing worth replying to on this forum in the last month.

The bus load of newbies that have been drafted in, hang like a wet fart over this forum. It used to be fun, fun, fun. Now it's about as exciting as visiting the local mechanics shed.

 

[benjenbav]

Having a natter in the local mechanics shed sounds like a pretty good way to pass the time.


Specially if they can fit you up with some ace lights

It used to be that it was easy to deal with people with more money than sense like footballers. You just needed to corner them at 2am in a night club and sell them a pub in order to part them from their life savings. Now they've got so much more money than sense that some of their investments, however random and barking, have to work out ok and even if they don't, next week's wage packet puts them right.

excellent, I wish I had more money than sense and no taste at all, life would be sooo much more fun!

Sir - I have been insulted by many fine gentlemen but this is the first time I have been called a 'wet fart'. Without us newbies the forum would become a retirement home for 'old farts'.

Comment made in in good humour

 

[ACE]

We seem to be going off thread a bit, MY sincere apologies if I have upset anyone with or regard my boat lights, hey after all it is just MY personal choice. I am sure that each of us have things on our own respective boats that the other wouldn’t have and as I said each to their own. Gents live and let live …..

One thing for the record I promise not to be blasting disco, or house muzak out all night, C&W Ok ????

Re Annie Lennox, Went to School with her and we are still friends today.(la-De-Da !!)

Nah the old farts have just whithered away, bored to death by the content.

Take a look.

It's all Poverty Boat Owners stuff.

Not one post of anything boaty at all. Ok some one might make it to the Folly Inn once every couple of months, shock horror.

We used to steam a hundred miles for a bit of a forum get together.

Now folk need advice on how to get in or out the bleeding marina.

It's become a forum fer puffs.
