Hi guys,  I am now trying to install a LED strip around my boat. I have seen one of my friends applying the strip on his boat, and it is very impressive. Just like a moving X’smas tree! So I wanna to buy one online. Have anyone once brought online? An easy installation and ultra bright one is preferable. Moreover, which color seems brighter in the dark? Green or blue?

I sell the lights if you want to order from me they are $10/ft and I can custom cut them to whatever lengths you want from 2in to 16ft4in(roll) can get any color made I have 1 roll of red and a 2ft section of white left in stock and I am about to make a big order of all of colors.
They are 100%waterproof I have 2 small strips that have been on in a fishbowl for 2 weeks on the same battery 24/7 and the battery still tests good

red is easier on the eyes at night that makes sense red is also the color to use if you want them on while you are driving at night, its the only color that won't destroy night vision.

Hopalong123, Indeed for red color.That's why navigation lights are always red. I will try to install some tiny RED led lights around the boat. I am wondering what color do you recommend for the tail lights? I am currently using green underwater lights but curious about your experience.
