Whos used them? What brand did you use? If youve got pics post them!

Thinkin the abyss lights look like they are made pretty well, but would like to get your guys opinion!

Here is mine. http://www.tigeowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10603. I bought them through a group buy on wake world. They are the same as these. http://www.bulletlines.com/Underwate...hts-p/1020.htm
If I had it to do again I would have spent the money on the stereo. I found that we are just not out after dark enough, and to top it off the water around here is just too dark to really enjoy them.

Shadow Caster makes a hellofa underwater LED. They come in 10, 6, and 4 LED light assemblies and come in 2 shades of blue, white, green, and red.

I have Sea Blaze on mine. The one on the left came installed from the factory. I added the one on the right this spring (Chpthril hooked me up!).

Like Guapo, we have dual Sea Blaze on ours (from the factory).

We use ours quite a bit. Our water is clear enough to enjoy them. I like to have them on when we are running at night. It helps make our boat very visible without distracting other drivers vision. The other time that we use it a lot is for the kids swimming off the platform at night when we are tied up to our floating house/dock.

It depends on how you use your boat and the water clarity as to whether it is worth the investment.

I have a pair of the Abyss S600's. I got them for a good deal just before the really good deals on Wakeworld came out.

I often forget I have them when out at night. Forgot to turn them on at the Lake Mead reunion for example.

They are not the brightest Abyss model. But they are well made and look nice. They light things up very well when the water is clear, or when the boat is on plane or at the ramp, they light up the whole ramp.

I made my own using 240 individual green LEDs. hand soldered and cast them in plastic. When I made these, I could not find green ones and I didn't want white or blue.
The pics are the first go round at installation--rough, I know.
I settled on putting them on the transom facing back instead of down. 2 ss steal bolts go through the transom for power. In clear water (rare around me) they light up a good 25' behind the boat. It was a fun project, I was bored and thought I'd try it. Total cost was about 35$.
