Roswell underwater LED's?

[thejean]

Attwood Marine (Factory lights) -

Lightarmor - 6 HP - 3200 lumens - $263

6 HPX - 5000 lumens $370

Do our boats come stock with the HP or the HPX?

Pretty sure factory are the Attwood HP's - 3200 Lumens.

I have them from the factory, and I would never run these as a choice. I have replaced one under warranty, and both the remaining stock one and the brand-new replacement are full of water. I talked to Attwood and their response is that it is likely "condensation" from running them while moving - something they say you can't do. I don't think condensation would pool water inside the lens. : )

Probably just a matter of time before they blow again. I was on another '16 G23 the other day and it had the Circuit Fault warning on the underwater lights as well. Pretty much a telltale sign that one of them has shorted out due to water intrusion.

I would go for the Roswells for sure in a new or retrofit situation. Not the brightest light you can buy, but solidly built.

I want to try the liquid lumens ones but the location of the bolt holes for the stock lights makes it difficult to cover them with round lights.
