there are lots avail locally but you save so much buying from the us
do your research not all leds are created equally you will notice this by the price and the lumens

matego see hayway marine,
mate
go see hayway marine, they have some very nice led transom lights that are very bright, but also very exspensive, thats why i made my own, but they were for prawning only and can not motor along with them on.
also i did not want to drill anymore holes in my boat? i think its a mental thing!! holes in boats dont go together!
there are some quality led's out there but be prepared to pay for the good ones, proberly$200+ each
good luck

Weve got the blue ones of these, A6`s I think. Squid love them and the wank factor when your rafted up on a island beach is very cool :-)

I like the look of the A6's and its 75% wank factor I am that I am wanting them... would 1 of these A6's be enough brightness? do you run more than 1 unit? if you look on the link from thesupervisor they are $399 a fair bit cheaper than $531 from leisurefreight.....

Weve got 2 A6`s on the back of the pod beside the motor. Will get another 2 a6`s to have facing outwards from the pod as well when theres a spare bit of cash. Its really cool sitting on the pick at night in clear calm water with a rum in your hand watching what comes to the lights, Grace spent over an hour catching all sorts of little critters with a bait net over at Serrurier before easter.

I will keep looking though so all sugestions are still welcome....
