homemade underwater led light pod

[Kracker Jack]

So im gonna take this build to the next extreme. I have been studying leds for the past couple weeks and Ive decided to make my own underwater light pod. I just ordered 3- 5 led assemblys and im gonna put these light together and build a acrylic housing around them. If you buy the led lights seperate they are pretty cheap. At work we have been using white 3/8 acrylic and clear 1/4 inch acrylic on some of our projects. We have a special kind of glue that we were sold by NORVA plastics that actually water proof and structually weld joints its applied to. the unfortunite thing about the light housing is that once glued together it can not be accesed, which really isnt no big deal beacause your 300 and 400 dollars units cant be maintenenced either. It will be transom mounted and maybe glued on using the same technique the transom saver product uses that MJ posted earlier. I feel like this pod can be very easily made to be durable and last a long time. Give me som opinions fellas!! It not that I cant afford to buy a base line led pod, its the fact that I made it.


This pod pictured was made by a guy on THT he has had this light mounted on his boat for almost 3 years with no issues. You can purchase just the leds for about 20.00 dollars. I will get the acrylic from work
