Default Two companies that specialize in underwater lighting

We went to the Miami Boat Show several weeks ago and there are lots of underwater light distributors. We found that "Ocean LED" is a good company and also "Shadow Cast" is another. If you can wait a couple of weeks, Shadow Cast is coming out with a white, green, blue all in one light. You can keep it as one of those colors or have it switch between the three. We're in the process of being a distributor for both of these companies, so I think you'll like either one.

I put on the Abyss lights with the remote for selecting colors and programs to change flash patters. Love them!

I installed the Abyss S-600B's a few years back and absolutely love them! Turns heads and get great reviews where ever I go and so awesome to swim in at night! Check them out. http://www.abysslite.com/underwater-lights.php

Check out some pics of the lights in action. The lake that these photos were taken at is pretty murky. In clear water, the lights flood out and around the stern for about 20ft. During night cruises, the entire wake is lit up as well.

Fairly simple install and well worth the price.

Beam is 14'6" and I used 2 of the 100 foot lights. Just enough, don't be shy with them & LED's aren't hard on the batteries.
