Does it have to be theirs or any 12 to 24 step up converter?

Hi Unstuck, yes one install kit power's a pair of Underwater Lights. That box contains the DC-DC drivers that boost the voltage from 12V up to 34V.Originally posted by UNSTUCK View Post
To use a dash switch you'll want the "Factory Switch Integrated" version of the kit. That one does not come with a remote, but instead accepts a 12V signal from your system to tell the lights when to turn on and off. We don't provide the actual dash switch because every boat is different, so you'll just need to find the switch you want to use and connect it into a 12V signal on your boat. When the switch is turned on/off that 12V signal tells the lights when to turn on or off. If you have any questions during install, we can walk you through it.
Hope that helps!Comment

We can provide you with just the DC-DC driver's with a light purchase free of charge, but you would have to do all of the wiring, add proper fuses, switches, terminal blocks, etc. on your own. We only protect lights under warranty if they are installed with our kit because if any incorrect components get used, there is potential to damage the lights. There is really very little margin in the Install Kit's for us, and you'll likely end up spending close to the $200 amount on your own to do it yourself if it's done correctly, so I would encourage you to not try that. But in the end it's up to you.Originally posted by UNSTUCK View Post
I noticed you are from SLC Unstuck. Salt Lake is where we are located as well. We have several dealers in the area that could help you with installation. Our local Tigé dealer, Germaine Marine, is also one of our authorized dealer's and installers. If you're interested we could help you coordinate an install through them.Comment

Just wanted to remind anyone following this thread that there are still 5 days left for our Red & Blue 30% off sale!
It's my understanding that BlackoutATX has gone to great lengths to do a very thorough review of our product, which we are very grateful for! Looking forward to seeing his feedback as well as anyone else in the Tigé community interested in this discussion's input.

Sounds great and can't wait to hear what blackoutatx has to say.Originally posted by RoboSanLucas View Post
Also saw that you guys put your lights on elevated's boat and he seems to really like them. I hear it will be at the reunion as well to see in action( I won't be there though). But definitely love these lights.

Forgive if this was answered earlier, but are there any options for RGB lights? It appears that I can get one color and leave it at that.Be excellent to one another.Comment

Tall, they didnt do RGb because they felt the reduced output was just too much. They are going to revisit in the future. I have a special product code to get you a little more money off if you PM me

There are a couple of RGB options out there that are 12 volt ready lights, meaning they work off the boat's 12V system and no boosters or converters needed. This allows them to be sync'd with any above water RGB lights and controlled off one single RGB controller.Originally posted by talltigeguy View PostMikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And MoreComment

Once you see these lights you will flip..... Rob the owner has some awesome promotional stuff coming out with comparisons. I didnt get the need for the boosters to increase output as I have seen or been in boats with almost every light company you can name without them running off the boats 12v system. Needless to say, the difference between almost every other light I have seen and theirs is pretty staggering. And I was a skeptic. I cant imagine running more then 2.......Germaine Marine

Jason, which lights did you go with? Are you happy with them or would one of the others been a better choice? They have some great pictures on the website, but none of them say which model light they are showing. I guess I'll assume they are all the most expensive one.Comment

Can 2 lights run off of one converter system?Be excellent to one another.Comment

Hi Talltigeguy,Originally posted by talltigeguy View Post
There are two reasons that we don't currently run an RGB light. The first is that, as elevatedconcept mentioned, it reduces output. Each LED in a light array is only capable of producing one light color, so in order to create a multi-color lights, you have to replace a portion of the array with LED's for each color you want to run. So, for example a two color light of say white and blue, would have half blue LED's and half white LED's, cutting the performance of each color in half. If you go with a 3 or 4 color RGB, you are dividing total light output by 3 or 4 times respectively. We understand the appeal of RGB for a lot of users, but our product is designed to be the industry leader in performance. An RGB design is counter-productive to our business model right now.
The second reason we have stayed away from RGB's is that we have had several customer's of other products contact us for lights and tell us that they had another brand's RGB and received a fix-it ticket from police or park rangers on the lake and are therefore ready to switch over to our light. The reason behind this is that when you combined certain color combinations, you are at risk of imitating navigation lights and police/ranger red and blue light color combo's. I spoke with a customer last week that told me they were ticketed for "imitating a police officer" because they had color changing lights on their boat that contained red and blue colors in their rotation.Comment

The photos on our website are a mix of sizes and models. We sell a pretty even mix of Surfriders, Maverick's and Pipeline's. All three lights contain the exact same components and run off of the same technology. The only difference is the focal plane changes as the light housing gets bigger (Maverick and Pipeline). This results in a tighter more intense beam as you move up in light model.Originally posted by UNSTUCK View Post
We set Jason's boat up with a set of White Powder Coated Pipeline's with Blue LED's.Comment

Yes, each install kit is designed to power a matching pair of Underwater Lights, so 2 lights per one box. We will have a 4 light install kit available for larger boats soon.Originally posted by talltigeguy View PostComment

So how is blue or red single color not "imitating" emergency response? Or a single color red or green viewed as approaching from one side or another of a vessel?
Im lucky (or unlucky) to be on a lake that crosses state lines as well as bordered by 3 counties as well as a couple of townships. It is patrolled by the NC wildlife, SC DNR, all 3 county law enforcement, 2 townships as well as the US coast guard. I have spoken to these enforcement divisions any chance I get, and never once has their been a distinction between a multi-color light and a single color. Without a doubt, they all have a universal position. If there is any other color seen from the stern of a boat other than white, its a violation and a citation can be issued. Whether is single color red or blue, dual color white or blue, green or even purple from a true RGB lights. In reality, they issue more tickets to pontoons that come with OEM blue around the tunes, then any other LED light violation.
Before steering away from RGB, I would encourage everyone to consult with their lakes enforcing body for clarification.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And MoreComment
