    I have had blue water led and now have rigid and like both of them. The blue water led, I had issues with one strip not working but without any hesitation they sent me brand new one. No issues with Rigid deck lights going on 3 years. I have 2 blue, 2 clear or white, and 2 more blue in the front. 2 blue under the consoles. 1 clear or white center step, 2 blue in the rear. When that doesn't light it up enough, I have TZER lights on my Talons with RIGID driving lights and man are they amazing.

    I just googled rigid industries deck light kit and it pulled it right up. They aren't cheap either.

    That's why I went with Bluewater on mine. I changed after this video to the new style just because I thought they looked better...lifetime warranty too:

    I used the 6mm "no Lens" Oznium bolts on my Ranger. Nice small light and at 1 watt, didn't need a dimmer. I used the 3 watt lights for my compartments and livewell.

    I thought about putting LED lighting in my boat. But the one thing that concerns me is do they attract mosquitoes? My Alumacraft has 2 small interior lights that are more of an amber color. They are not super bright either. Did some night fishing for walleye last year and the mosquitoes were terrible when using a flashlight to rebait my hook. The interior lights didn't seem to attract the mosquitoes. I thought about getting blue colored lights to match the outside color of my boat. I installed red and green LED navigation lights on the bow last year and they do seem to attract bugs.
