LED Lights

Post by Driller »

When my boat comes out of the water, I am going to upgrade the lighting:
- Underwater lights
-Speaker Ring LEDs
-Gunwale LED strips above the cup holders

So, I've gotten a few estimates. I want to be able to sync all the colors the same at the same time, be able to dim all at once or selectively, and also have RGB so I can choose any color in the rainbow.

The estimate with the best equipment and who looks like they can do the best installation work is recommending ShadowCaster equipment.

Does anyone have this equipment, and what's your opinion.

Notice the "Made in the USA" emblem. That matters.

It looks like a good setup, not cheap, but it has all the bells and whistles.

Shadow-Caster has hooked up with Wet Sounds. Both are selling the same controller.

I have this and the app on my phone.I think I paid $13 works great. Magic light is the brand. Even my drain plug light is wired to it.

Does that work off Bluetooth, local WiFi, or phone plug?

Are you also able to play your music thru your phone via Bluetooth at the same time?

I didn't play with the color changing with the music. I think it says it does. I don't care though I just turn it on pick a color and listen to the music. It was like $13 so I didn't care how it worked as long as it changed colors which it does very well.

Not that you need an endorsement but after seeing your set up I really like what you've done.
