Lumishore underwater lights

Some are a good bit more than that. Some are a lot less.

Shop around and you'll find other underwater lights for under a tenner.

What they for anyway?
 
Try a pm to forumite EME, he will give you the real prices. I've got 3no surface mount colour change units, and they weren't £1000 each. Very nice bits of kit.

Cheers

Top of range are ballpark a grand each, but as Jimmy says EME will give you a discount

VicS's comment is a bit noddy. Sure you can get lights with a few lumens for a tenner. But it's like buying cars: you can have a Bentley or a Kia. Lumishore is literally the best underwater light in the world in terms of quality and fixture lumens output, and if you want big fast beautifully engineered car it costs more than a Korean box. Lumishores are beautiful bits of engineering and a night time swim in a huge pool of cyan light is a lot of fun

Obviously if they don't float your boat then don't buy them!

quite fancy some, but was a bit shocked at the advertised price. Used to be in electronics business and I am quite familiar with the component costs.
By the way do they attract fish at night?
Thanks for the link to EME I will get in touch.

There are underwater lights and there are QUALITY underwater lights. Lumishores underwater lights are QUALITY.

Yes they do as Jimmy says in the marina AND out on the open water, I find the strobe effects seems to attract them better....:)

Funnily enough Im not shocked at all but Im not getting into a hissing competition.

Lets put it like this - after 4 years of investing in brilliant engineers developing great products, I've discovered that there is a much more effective way of burning money than buying a boat. Try starting a marine business;)

I never normally say Thank You on here. However, all of us are very conscious of the great support we've had from folks here and it is very very much appreciated.

Edit:- My wife has just 'reminded' me that is more than 4 years she has been subsidising my "habit"

Let me just add my support for Lumishore. My boat came with existing underwater lights fitted but not working. I replaced them once and then again because they kept failing. It seems that some underwater lights just don't like being underwater. So I bought some Lumishore lights a few months ago and had them fitted for this season. All I can say is that they work and have continued to work far longer than the other lights fitted to my boat. Apart from that, they actually seem far brighter too. Sometimes in life, it's worth paying for quality
 
if they are that good at attracting fish, why not get them written up in the UK and USA fishing mags - perhaps have one made up on the end of a pole so that it can be stored below and used as necessary at night / evening.

Fishermen are cult buyers.... :)

Check you're comparing like with like though Kashurst. ALL the competition use capsule LEDs like you'd buy from catalogues. Only Lumishore use HICOB arrays in the u/w light market and they are not cheap. Neither are the phosphor bronze billets the light casings are made of

The other thing is the R+D effort. Some top engineers design the stuff. They don't buy stock components - they design the LED arrays, heat management and driver circuitry from scratch becuase there is nothing off-the-shelf available. That is worth something

I've got mine on now, as have several other boats near me, and I am squirting out 5x the lumens of theirs and better still 3x the lumens per watt
 
Mine are fitted, but not wired in yet, so can't comment on how effective they are, but I can say that it all looks and feels like top quality stuff, and the controller is very sexy in brushed stainless

For interest, how many lumens do you give out?
Click to expand...

For the surface mount lights (like I've got) it's 2950 lumens per fitting, and I've got three. Iirc jfm has the big x120 thru-hulls and they are 8990 lumens per fitting - and he's got six of them.

Cheers

We been here before Im sure.

Dont pay such high amounts for underwater lights go to EC smith they do great ones at£300 each, you see them at the boat show in the water container looking good, and are bright, they come in a nice blue and all you have to do is drill a 32mm hole in your transom and put them in. They work fine and when you get a dark night and you lay on the swim platform looking in the water the "glow" is lovely, take a sack with you to cover any pontoon lights nearby or ensure you pick a marina that does not have pontoon lights or you wont see them.

Then after about 2 years you start to save power as they stop working, you also have to wire them to your galvics so they dont get eaten.

Then after 3 years you have more money you can get Lumishore ones and work out how the feck your gonna fill the 2 holes from the original ones in your transom, as these are plastic coated all you need to do is drill a small hole for the cable.

To be serious and cut to the quick dont look about we have done that for you, and if you find the other post on this thread I put pictures up of my old cheaper ones and my new Lum ones. If there is one lesson I have learnt and I know we all say it and sometimes its not true, but in this post it is, and that is you get what you pay for.

I will add that once you buy them you wont be forgotton, and a few months down the road if you have a problem they are they to help and support you and I do appreciate good aftersales.

Hey Searush, do raggies have no sense of rhythm? I installed a 1kw sound system last week, and tried it out in a local anchorage, and they all loved it and started looking over and waving their arms around, but not one was in time to the music
