      Grant do you see the irony in your post. You are capable of building and designing a killer light bar but have problems posting photos on a website forum.

      Nice work by the way. I wish I had a clear lake to enjoy that much light. My lake has about 6 inches of visibility.

        As always, nice work grant. Over the top, as we've come to expect from you. I love the LEDs but am seldom out after dark so I don't think it would ever be somthing I'd do.

          I should have used better words to describe my frustration. The site is not retarded. the step's one has to go to to upload pick's are retarded, LOL Plus someone with spelling like my'n shouldn't be calling anything retarded.LOL

          Ok: I think if you had a cloudy lake the light would mabey go as far it just would look cloudy and not go deep into the water or you wouldnt be able to pick out things under the water. The last 3 lakes I have been to have been super clear and I love it. But i wonder if the cloudy would help sort of defuze the light sort of like what frosting or sandblasting the plexy rings does for the LED's I guess thats another test all together.

          I was in a spot at the lake last week were it was pretty deep 20 to 30 foot deep. Super cold clear water. We turned on the lights and you could see clear to the bottom. It was Amazing. you could have thrown in a pair of sunglasses and if you had the balls dove down and picked them right up. I have to go back to take some pictures It was so cool. I have a pick of the spot just not at night this is the location.

              Well at least you know how to get the pictures here. Does that light bar cause any drag? Would you get the same effect just mounting the lights to the stern? It does look cool. Nice job.

                I guess you have to host ur own images. Yes this spot at night was super cool. Its kinda hard to tell how clear it is from the picks but it looked like a swimming pool.
                I guess if ididnt ahve any light's on my boat we wouldn't go out at night. IMO the light make night time adventures so much funner. The blue water make you wanna jump in and swim around.
                The light bar dosent seem to have much drag. I put my had back there (under the swimdeck) while the bpat was going about 5-to-8 Mph and the watter was very bubbly and you could easly hold your hand back there. The water is so disturbed back there the drag is hardley anthing. I guess this is how Fresh Air Exhaust works.

                  next time you're wakeboarding take a look at the transom. When under way you have to bend down a little bit to see under the swim platform, but on my boat there isn't any water under the platform at all until you get to the very bottom of the boat. I'm sure getting up to speed and whatnot there's some back there, but I'm understanding it's not much pressure at all.

                      Hey Grant,

                      Nice job on everything you do! And thanks for putting together the LED comparisons. I have an 05' 210 and am want to light up the water under the transom. Our lake is pretty clear, and I am wondering if just one of the Shadowcasters, mounted to the center of the hull will be sufficient. Any insight would be well received. You don't have an extra one laying around do ya?? Smile.

                      Thanks,
                      Mike
