It's amazing how bright they are and I love the fact you can change the color to blue so they are more "eye friendly" at night! I love how compact they are compared to my old ones, you barely see them.

I had the white/red ones on my previous boat. Mounted on the transom so I could see the rocks when casting at night, but not be blinded. Worked out great. New Sailfish has white/blue on the hardtop, but I think the spreader lights are white only. I'll have to see if I need to change them out after fishing with them a few times. Got to have lights to fish the rocks at night. Fishing around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel islands it's eerie hearing the waves break on the rocks, but not be able to see where the rocks are on a moonless night. Just got to have good lights.

Don't the police have a problem with using blue lights? Why not get a siren also? I've heard of people getting hassled just for having blue underwater lights on while underway.

Coast Guard has pulled me at night more than once and so have the Virginia Marine Police. They do lots of checks around here to make sure you meet the safety requirements if you're staying out overnight. Never once did they mention my red lights and they probably did see them. Don't know about the blue yet since I haven't been out with them on at night. Really strange to hear someone gets pulled for underwater blue lights. Considering how bright the flashing blue lights are when I've been pulled over, no way I'd ever think steady blue underwater lights were the police or Coast Guard.

I don't think red would ever be cause for a problem. That's all that is allowed on the bridge of Navy and Coast Guard ships at night. Best color for protecting your night vision.

I had marine patrol hail me on the radio one night on my way in with my blue underwater light on. They thought I was another patrol boat. I told them that I just forgot to turn my underwater lights off. Nothing else was said.
