Bias sells them Balou. I brought the white and it came with a 2 switch system that you turn on your main switch operate and the other is a dimmer switch you turn on and can set the lights from dim to very bright.

just bought the 8m blue set from bias....Just plug in the 40 cm strip in the shop and was blinded . F-ck they were blight.

It's going to look like a 6m ufo floating across the ocean.

Putting them in yourself? I still have not got around to putting mine in! Any tips when you are finished would be appreciated.

1982...Getting Quality marine to do it as part of the fit out in the new tub.

Doesnt look that hard but just dont have any time at the moment. Easiet way is grab a 12v source and lay it all out on the ground and plug everything in. then move it section by section into the boat I guess.
I use to wire my multiple amp car-audio system this way when I was a young fella.

Change of plans, can't be bothered fitting these myself. Can anyone recommend someone? I am a bit fussy and don't want some half assed job ( hence why I am not doing it myself)

The bloke at QM chopped my 8m in sections so I have light under the gunnels, under the center console and inside the 2 rear hatches.
It changes from blue or white at a touch of a switch.
I'm not sure of the exact cost but they said a 2-3 hours. ($330)
It diffinitely look like 2-3 work involved.

Just purchased the 10m strip of these http://www.superleds.com.au/marine/led- ... -kits.html. $168 + $8 P/H. Haven't fitted them as yet (lazy) but are IP68 rated and look the goods out of the box. Going to cut and lengthen the wiring so they'll be under the gunnels, center console and 1 in the live bait tank. When I finally extract the digit and get around to it! Will let you now the outcome.
Reckon the remote control isn't such a good idea, it'll either go flat or overboard then they're useless. Will try and mod it so it can be hard-mounted and powered.
Might also have to find blue or red clear paint if the insects get too bad.............

I have $1 60cm strips from ebay they have been fine for over 2 years but there are better quality ones available these days, do some research on line. As for colors its up to you but as above red/blue/yellow are best for insects - in that order

I used what was called a "soft white" under the gunnels of my 4.8. They have a purple tinge to them when turned on and don't seem to attract bugs more than any other light source. I had a red LED strip under the console and you can notice the difference in night vision.

With just the red on right under my face it is fine, but with the white it does diminish vision a little.

I got a sparky to wire it up, while he was re-wiring the boat and they are connected to the switch panel using two spare switches.

I think they look great...my mates take the pi$$ and call it the floating Disco!

Mate I splashed out and got a set of korr marine LEDs. Bit more exxy but got a 2 year warranty and they are selectable and dim able between blue (for bugs and night vision) and white. Great kit simple to install IP 67. And an Aussie company.

I fitted 8m korrs as well which I got at boat show for about $150 has a switch so does both blue and white & also a dimmer I got a 5m stacer side console and even had a few LEDs left over, easy enough to fit and seem to work a treat.

Cheers Craig
