Well, it had to be done! Whilst it was not warm enough to visit the pub it was ok enough to "soak" test the lighting.

The performance in the water varies depending on the colour (which probably represents some sort of scientific "absorbtion" dissertation) although it is better in reality compared to how the camera shows it. We are pleased with the results, particularly when you aerate the water with bubbles from the props. The more aeration the better the effect (although clearly we only guess that as there is a speed limit!)

Very blingy. :D

They look as if they should make it go faster, kind of photon booster's.

Proper boat tax. :) The LEDs themselves are not that expensive at all.

I agree completely.

What you are saying Ed, is that the sign on our heads which reads, "I own a boat" is adding a tax to the item we are buying.

I'm guessing you are saying that if you were to buy that particular LED it would not be expensive, except for a bit of water proofing.

Nice post!
