Underwater LED Lighting Upgrade

Half of my underwater LEDs finally failed:





So, I'm ditching them for these:

Very cool - send us some pics when it's installed. BTW, are the "ice cube drivers" meant to prevent them from overheating or what's the deal?

Yea, pics for sure this weekend! I'm not really sure about the drivers... that was a surprise to me when I opened the package. I thought using an Ice Cube Tray was a pretty cool idea for potting though. This is all the info I got from the website:

LED REPLACEMENT DRIVER(S)/REGULATORS

IF YOU PURCHASE ONE OF OUR LIGHTS YOUR LIGHT WILL COME WITH A DRIVER, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A LIGHT, THE LIGHT WILL COME WITH A DRIVER. These LED driver/transformer/resistors are compatible with our lights only! You will choose from a drop down box when you ad this item to...

boatpluglight.com

I bought my setup on Amazon:

They were obviously not bronze as described, and I will tell you I am not really impressed with CS. They did immediately respond to my first email, but not the followup. Not really a big deal though, it was not super important and it could have been an oversight (Monday or Friday guy).

I'll post up with more details on the install when I get more pics and hopefully I'll get 'em wet one night this weekend. I'm working on another night LED solution for the boat and I'll add that when I get it done... I have a LOT to do this weekend!

More to come....

They are just the voltage converters for the LED. They encase them in epoxy resin to make them waterproof.
