Here is the latest light I have made for crappie fishing. What do y'all think. It's rated for 1600 lumens of green led light but I'm sure it's realistically 1500 lumens. I'm considering selling 2 since I have the supplies to make a few more but haven't decided yet. <a href="http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/Marc_Rounsavall/media/image_zps57031c55.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t669/Marc_Rounsavall/image_zps57031c55.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image_zps57031c55.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/Marc_Rounsavall/media/image_zps580de39b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t669/Marc_Rounsavall/image_zps580de39b.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image_zps580de39b.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/Marc_Rounsavall/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps11e1178e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t669/Marc_Rounsavall/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps11e1178e.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image_zps11e1178e.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/Marc_Rounsavall/media/image_zps454afe1e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t669/Marc_Rounsavall/image_zps454afe1e.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image_zps454afe1e.jpg"/></a> The light under the water was my gen 1 design with 1200 lumens at 5 ft deep with a 8 diameter circle. The water was real murky as it had just rained the day before.

Good work, as they are nice looking lights.
Are these DC or AC lights?
Are they designed to be used from a boat? I know you are demo'ing them from your slip but it looks as if they are designed to be used from a boat.

Well, I guess I will be your Guinea Pig...since I like to night fish, and seem to try everything that comes around....PM me a price, etc., just don't make it too costly. I don't start night fishing till the lows are around 55...plus, I will give you my first blush opinion from your pics...
