I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

I could wire tie them to the bimini uprights? I don't have a rocket launcher. wire up a couple of electrical connectors to match my multi purpose cig plug, which i have already to suit an aerator or 12v pump, or prawn light.... looks the go. cheap alternative.

I have almost the exact same product in my boat. I installed them under the gunwhales so that they shine down and light up the deck. . Are they the best, probably not but I think they work fine and am glad that I put them in. I think I've seen others use red LEDs as its better for night vision.
Cheers Nath
It's not about the fish, it's about fishing.

I have the same mounted under my Gunwhales and they are awesome, but I find you still need something above as well as the brighness off my white floor can make it hard to see above the gunwhales.

Very Similar
Hi Randall, they look very similar to the LED strip lights that I just installed, which were these: http://korrlighting.com.au/boat-light-white-4m-4m-kit.html
They came as a kit and had all the bits & pieces, also have a keyring remote control for on/off and also brightness asjustment. The kit also had a 50cm LED striplight that I used for up the front in the bow storage area. Overall very happy with the product, I purchased as the kit and it made things easy. You could buy the ones you mentioned and I'm sure they would do a similar job (but you would need two sets, and then buy the strip light seperate so doubt you would save any real money?)
As another point, the spotlights I purchased from the same supplier are great (these: http://korrlighting.com.au/10watt-led-boating-spotlight.html ) they are easily the most compact ones I have seen available. Great light output, but the thing I was most impressed with is due to the small size/weight you could mount off the canopy tube frame or whatever. I mounted them off the aluminium strip on top of my windscreen, and I reckon even bouncing through heavy seas they won't give any issues.
Now I just gotta get out on the weekend to give them a real test!
If you wanted to see how they look you are welcome to come by one night, just PM me.
Cheers,
Browndog.
