Default Installed some leds around the boat.

The install did have some real challenges, we will see if it stands the test of time.

Looks nice. I'm thinking of the same thing.
What made you go with red and not blue?
Thanks, Kliph

You can change colors? Do you have a link for them?
Thanks, Kliph

The leds come with a dimmer controller and a remote, you can choose almost any color you would like, they can dim down to almost nothing and bright enough to light up the whole cockpit.

I bought a 16' roll of water proof led lights off of e bay, then I ordered some 3' extension cords of eBay as well, 10' and 2 5 ' cords, these cords have a special connector on the ends to hook on to the led strips, I had a lot of time into this project, I have to believe that there is a easier way to get the same result, the led strips can be cut every two inches, so you can make them 2" or 6' it's to your liking, which was so appealing to me that's why I went this route
