Drain plug led Diablo Royal ??

[Rob15]

For everyone that is looking for a switch to turn them off and on. They sell this to go along with them. http://boatpluglight.com/products/led-remote-control-with-dimmer-function-and-pulse

@Danielmailin I purchased the light at the beginning of this season and I treat it just like a drain plug (in fact I even forgot to put it in once ). It shows zero wear and tear after one season. When I pull the boat I unscrew the light and let it hang from the wire - if I am trailering it more than 10 miles or so then I will leave it in. We don't do much boating at night, so I really have only had it turned on a handful of times. I have the Diablo at 900 lumens and I like it well enough, but I have been thinking of upgrading to the 4000 lumen Gatlin for more flash out back! For the price and the ease of installation I don't think you can do much better!

So, as an update: I swapped out the 900 lumen original Diablo with the Vega which is 8000 lumen. I wired it into a missle launch switch in the battery compartment as I don't want little hands turning this on by accident. I have had it out once at night since the install and the water was really murky - no more than 12 inches of visibility. All I can say is WOW what a fantastic light for $200.

this is a single 8k?

Correct it is one light in less than clear water. I can't wait to see this thing once the water clears! This is the light I bought:

I's like to do this project, but since I'll need to buy two I just can't see paying the price for the 8000 lumen lights. I generally boat in lakes and they are fairly clear. Does anyone have a picture of (2) of the 900 or 1000 lumen lights in lake water?

 

[paratrooper39]

@DBamaC I should have replacements on the way soon. I installed some but didn't get them in the water before I broke them (completely my fault). As soon as I install the new ones I'll send you some water pictures, but I bet you won't be disappointed.

Thanks @paratrooper39!

@DBamaC if you go the 900 route I have the one I took out that I would sell for $25 shipped.

If @DBamaC doesn't want them, I'll take them. Do these fit on the existing drain plug or do you have to replace?

I only have one and yes it does fit the existing drain plug. This is the one I have:

I'm fine with @spaz1868 taking the light. I'm not ready to commit.

@spaz1868 here is the light connected briefly to a simple 9 volt battery:

I was thinking about the 8K lights too. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, it would mean changing the drains to the brass fitttings, getting the adapter so i would still have a drain without removing the lights, and then I just started considering other lights, and then.....

Nice nail polish @Scuba_ref!

At first I didn't change out my drain plugs to the brass and it was a pain. I spent the 20 bucks and took about 30 minutes to change them and was much happier. Just my .02

I was thinking about buying the single 1000 lumen green one for my xr1800 snice all my other led lights in it areally green.. but most boating done in lake erie not the clearest for sure.. just don't know if it is worth it. . Do some boating on inland lakes in mi. Any thoughts?

 

[paratrooper39]

@Xr1800 I'm not sure a single 1k would be very much, but I'll get pictures this weekend of my double 1k's and you can make a decision from that.

That would be great!!! Thanks I have just the single drain plug. But might go with the double style.
