Default underwater LED rant

so Tonight im just cruising the web looking at underwater LEDS for marine and boat application. I could almost throw up at the cost of these pieces of $hit!!!! All the crap there selling is made in China. So I decide to research further into where they get these lights from and how much they cost. After 2 hours of reasearch I find a seller over in china who I just actually had an email conversation with that will sell me a 27w 316 stainless bezel transom light for 35.00 dollars a piece!!!!!!!!!!!! the same one this dip **** is selling http://compare.ebay.com/like/2008878...Types&var=sbar

Im gonna be the ginny pig and buy a couple from this guy. if it works out I will let you guys know and I will sell them for what I get em for plus shipping.

Transom lights are pretty for sure... cannot take it away from them.. But my boat is for fishing and I just cannot see putting holes in my transom for pretty lights. If I want a light for attracting fish I'll lower one over the side.

But I gotta admit Kracker, you scored a beauty of a find to get those lights at that price. Well done!!!

I couldnt agree more!!! I looked at em one time and it didnt take long for me to close out that browser window.

Im kinda the same where I dont want holes for lights under the waterline but now Id love to have em under the gunnels, Ive always loved that look!!!

Hope they work out and keep us posted, nice work!!!
