Rub Rail LED. Anyone had any experience with the rub rail LED light strips? Wondering if they are still durable enough to last a while? I don't really hit anything hard with my rub rail but you just never know. They look pretty cool at night though!

Don't know about functionality but it looks cool. Personally, I would stay away from. As such, I would not want to do optional work on that seam as the downside to any problems there could be very big. Just my opinion. Carry on. PS: That does look sharp. Yeah, the one I got an estimate on was for the LED's under rub rail led lights for boats 30 rub rail. Apparently most of that cost is installation because they said its one PITA to get it right.

If its a pain for a professional I can't imagine trying to tackle that. Hard pass! Bruce Jetboaters Fleet Admiral Staff member. You would need three or four rolls. A longer roll would make it even easier.

I can not see how it would be difficult to clean below the rub rail and then stick it on. I would bring power to the LED rub rail led lights for boats 30 near the transom and connect strips together until you wrap entirely around the boat.

Yeah agreed. Again just a cool factor. I have purchased the waterproof strips from amazon and know the quality of. I would say its not something i would want to stick on the outside of my boat. I have seen where they have nearly started fires because of crummy quality. Certainly not going to do this but kind of neat anyways. CDENsomnia said:. I wouldn't put it on the rub rail at any cost. If you want the cool factor, put it just above and along the rub rail and as Bruce said terminate it at the stern.

Do both sides separately as that length will have some drop rub rail led lights for boats 30 voltage 50' at the end of the line. I have considered doing this for our gatherings. Bruce I will see if I can dig up a couple pictures.

I havent had it happen either and have LED strips on the swim platform seat backs. Rub rail led lights for boats 30 also use them as undercounter lighting in the kitchen. I do keep a very close eye on them though especially after i saw the pictures of them failing. Of course, would not be able to use them while running.

Makes it impossible to see the navigation lights I saw someone running with them once--totally blinded my night vision and couldn't see anything of his nav lights.

So, not very practical in my mind, but yes, foe does rub rail led lights for boats 30 cool at anchor. Fro should go without saying, but tdonoughue is right, sometimes someone just doesn't know the rules of the water or doesn't consider the added lighting in regard to it. Lighhs is totally blinding and illegal to run with anything but your navigation and white all around light on.

But at anchor, it kind of defeats the purpose of the anchor light, but there is no doubt that you can be seen easily! Any added lighting, external or rsil, is really not intended to be on when the boat is underway.

Internally will kill your own night vision, and gor kills everyone else's! Even internally can 3 the light from your navigation and white anchor all around light and make it impossible to determine if your moving and which way, or anchored.

All of these light mods are intended, on an open cockpit or bow boat, to be when anchored or moored. BigN8 Jetboaters Admiral. Have you ever run into one ligths these on the lake at night?

Keep in thoughts a vessel is eight'4" vast ? You'll wish to put boxts photos when we do have it. Be partial of us for an dusk of beguiling as well as feasting, as well as detected, cruise I have found my joystick controller -they have em for "battlebots" (robotics) where they're determining expostulate motors exclusively?

The lights after installation look great. The price is over the top for what they are, but were least expensive at Anchor Express. The installation instructions seem to have been written in a foreign language and then translated poorly into English.

The first set I ordered did not work after installation. Notified Taco Marine and they sent me a replacement set via snail mail. Also, if those that have a stainless insert on the rub rail, a section of it will need to be cut out to do the installation, but once cut out the light is too deep to fit the trim plate and will need to be built up - I used marine caulk.

Did you find this helpful? Good pricing and my order shipped promptly. Great that the navigation lights mount in the rub rail so no loss of deck area. The LED lights are incredibly bright for their small size.

The green far out shine the blue when next to each other. Nice job Steve. Thanks Todd-- I really like them at night, the wife and I often will "camp" on the boat overnight temps allowing and we just leave these on all night while anchored, both bringing in the baitfish and making ourselves seen on the lake while anchored down.

Everything I read when I was doing research indicated that green was the best color to attract planton, which attracts bait fish, when attracts game fish such as crappie.

I chose a mercury vapor lamp for my underwater light because it produces a green color to the light it provides. I also use green lights for my overhead lights on the slip. Joined: Aug Longview, Tx. Joined: Mar Do the LEDs have the 3m backing like the s? I'm sure they do and it's [censored] just got home from work lights hadn't been on the boat 24 hours and one side already came unstuck.

I even prepped the surface with alcohol. What do yall think I should put on that will hold it? Is it on fiberglass or aluminum? If aluminum maybe epoxy. One of the guys will know for sure. I prefer white LED as they are brighter out of the water. The green lights work better under water IMO. I get lots of plankton and bait fish around my boat all the time at night. I even have a green light I can drop to attract more fish if needed.

WOW I can see where every bug in 3 counties would come to white lights. Being a diver and underwater photographer we learned that the 1st spectrum of light dissipated by water is red followed by yellow then green and finally blue this is natural light IE the sun. Now keep in mind this is clear water and the more sediment in the water the less any light will penetrate.

As far as what spectrum draws bait fish us old timers used to use floating head lights because that's all we had back then. Now I hear of people using green, blue and red LED's with pretty much good results.

I have seen saltwater fish stage in the edge of most any color light to hunt and pretty sure fresh water fish will do the same. They are after whats drawn to lights and the "popular" color at the moment seems to be green. Again back to my diving we have lights for night and a white light will cause fish to flee out of the beam, but red doesn't seem to effect them.

I don't have a green or blue light or ever seen one used so no data on that but a green marker light can be seen further underwater. All this being said a lot of variables come into play with light intensity and water color IE clear, green, murky or muddy. Not sure any of this helps with light selection but its something to consider.

Best thing if i want to remove them a plastic blade will take the glue right off. Originally Posted By: slipshot.

I will add that Mrs. Tbox makes a shiny silver glitter Lil Fry I forget the name that is tremendously effective fished about three feet down just outside the light shine of these lights after about an hour or so of them being turned on Originally Posted By: Txmedic I coated mine with several coats of clear flex seal, so it should last quite a while.

Guys I would check with the Game Warden on the allowable colors Rub Rail Led Lights For Boats Zero you can put on your boat. I had blue LED's on my center console to light up the floor at night. I was at the boat ramp at Joe Pool and got a butt chewing by two game wardens for having those lights. They told me to turn them off, and get them off my boat.

They said that you could not have navigation color lights on a boat, other than as navigation lights. Mine were blue but I guess that's not acceptable either. This is copied from Texas parks and wildlife Sec. A vessel or motorboat when not at dock must have and exhibit at least one bright light, lantern, or flashlight from sunset to sunrise in all weather.

A vessel or motorboat when underway between sunset and sunrise in all weather must have and exhibit the lights prescribed by the commandant of the Coast Guard for boats of its class. No other lights that may be mistaken for those prescribed may be exhibited.

Just a thought. I dont think most of them will say anything. Medina lake. I got a GW compliment with my green lights down the sides. They point down. Just said to turn off when underway. I try not to break laws whenever possible, so interested in what the research says.

Man,I need to quit looking at fishing stuff after midnight and drinking a few. Also bought a quad beam transducer,and jig tying supplies.

I hear ya! They say it's safer to drink at home, but not with wifi and a debit card! I have woken up to quite a few emails regarding my order I placed.

The thread also discusses how they were installed in some of the later posts on the thread.

Originally Posted By: Mudshark I used the strip lights.

I went to Ebay, got 'em on Rub Rail Led Lights For Boats 600 the cheap I was lazier than you and did not prep the aluminum edging on my deck. I wish I had thought of that. If it becomes necessary for me to re-stick them I will pull them and do a through cleaning job. Then I will apply the glue and re-stick them.

I will buy marine glue when I do this, assuming I must redo them at some time. I had to drill a hole for the switch but it looks factory. I then soldered a fuse holder in the hot wire that ran from the switch to the battery. I hope my setup lasts as long as your setup but since I was lazier doing the install it probably won't. Originally Posted By: crapicat Ezgoing, I don't think anyone realizes there is only one company in China making all the Led lighting strips regardless of the type and all use 3M glue strips for adhesive backing I have been goggling for info on LED lights for a week and came to the same conclusion.

Waterproof and quality seem to be the big factors on price difference. If you do the research there are weatherproof and waterproof lights for this application. If you dig, the Ebay lights claim to be waterproof but everywhere else shows the same strip as weatherproof. When you get to looking at "industry standard" waterproof in high light output the price jumps pretty drastically.

Big question is if the strip is mounted where it will stay wet from spray side of a bass boat low to waterline vs under deck on a pontoon boat will the weatherproof lights hold up? The more you dig for information the more questions you come up with.

Yes SIR, I can't wait to use mine on Fork at night Belinda loves to fish at night also as long as it's warm Night fishing is the way to go in the summer as it allows you to escape the heat of the day. Plus the skiers, the jet skis and the green fish chasers are not on the lake so it is safer. My wife and I always fish at night during the summertime.

Extreme Angler. Click on the 5th symbol, that says "upload image into post" when you move your mouse pointer over it. I tried that but my work laptop has it blocked. I tried using my laptop. It would not upload the jpg file but when I changed it to png it uploaded the file, as you can see. I don't know what to suggest. It's a little expensive but I would expect that marine adhesive should hold it but I would do a small test section first to see if it harms the light strip or the boat.

I did not prep the surface and my lights have been on since September without a problem. I did use as much pressure as I could apply to make them stick. But I really don't know if that made a difference. I used 3M marine adhesive from academy and it works great. Actually the white LED lights do attract bugs but mine are facing down on the water and the bugs do not come in my boat.

They hover around light close to water surface thus Rub Rail Led Lights For Boats Quick again drawing in more bait fish to eat them. The light spectrum will be more affected underwater and green does work better under water according to studies but as far as attracting plankton and bugs to attract bait fish then the white LED works great for me above water. Looking forward to seeing how they last submerged like that.
