[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 161165, member: 166"] I checked today at Wal-mart today in the automotive section to see what they had. For $5.97 each, they had some real nice LED lights in the trailer section that were "sealed" (potted). These would be ideal for a boat application, especially if you took the time to solder the wires and heat shrink seal them. They came in red and amber (dark yellow). That's a considerable savings over "marine" LED lights which run about double that and are basically the same thing. The sealing (potting) will more than suffice to keep water out. They also had strings of LED lights in the electrical section that were "outdoor" lights for $14.88. Should be good for boating applications as well. The LED string lights came in white, red and blue I think. Might have been a yellow/amber, can't remember for sure. These would have to be converted for 12V use (not difficult to do), as they were setup for 110V (had a plug and a 110V power conversion unit on them). Dave [/QUOTE]
