abyss Led lights

Got mine today, hope to have them installed this week.

The lady I bought them from has some more.

If you contact her and ask for the buy it now price. That price should be cheaper than they are selling for.

Maybe this helps someone else.

I bought mine from her and they are pretty awesome. I bought them off her outside of Ebay too and have been emailing her to buy more but she is pretty bad at communication. I got mine but it took a little while and was a little frustrating that I paid for something and never heard from the seller until I threatened legal action.

got pics?

looks cool... i'd like to see some pics too.

Hate, I HATE dealing with people that are piss poor communicators with a PASSION! I'd rather just pay more money.

She communicated fine with me. and sent them really quick.
I paid Friday and received them on Monday.

Here is some on the boats. ( not mine )

that is so F'N cool... i wonder how much of the cool factor is lost if you are on a very murky body of water?

are those in the transom, or mounted onto the swim deck?

Are these the EXACT same LED lights pictured on the Mastercraft boats.

Paul's Xstar had a rear facing light. I dont know if it was a LED or not but it Lit the hell out of the water. It was a blue light ad it was bright as hell.
The traditional down facing swim platform LEDs are a joke IMO lots of work to do them right and not even as much light as what's pictured above.
I think 1 bright rear facing LED will work way better than many down facing LED's

Do you mount them to the hull or the swim deck ?

Do you know if they make them in green ?

Yes these are the ones on the Mastercrafts.

Stock Malibu here.

They penetrate up to 30' for me on my lake it's about 12'-15' or 30 or so feet of the white wash. I don't have any pic's but they look sick and are very bright. They are mounted to the transom and it is very easy drill a hole for the wire patch with 3M 5200 and mount 3 screws. They draw like 1 amp!

She is a very nice lady but never returned email's she finally called and I got them ok it was just frustrating.

Here is the ones I have. Tige uses these. They do one from the factory, I had them add the second one. They are from Pyramid Technologies. http://www.pyramidtech.com/

Called Sea Blaze. They are super bright. I wish I had some pics of them on at night in the water. They are more white. But those MC's look great with the blueish tint!

Wet Sounds

Those are sick! Sneak in a late night surf session.

can you get them in red?

Do you guys wire these up with your anchor light or are they on their own switch/relay?

The PO of my boat had wired some interior LEDs on their own (factory) accessory switch. I just spliced into that circuit. So the entire circuit consists of like 20 LEDs, plus two transom fixtures with 6 LEDs in each.

Mounting them consisted of drilling 6 holes, 2 for wires & 4 for screws, all filled with white bathtub caulk.

ditto what Adam R said, can you get them in red?

I just notified her. I hope I can buy a set of these for my boat.

I also emailed her too. Curious what the 'B.I.N.' price will be...

What kind of lights are those on the Malibu?

And I just heard back, lol.

$200 shipped.

Sweeet.

Good price... I think I paid about $240.

Not sure what brand of lights they are. Their stock in 2008 & 2009. Your local Malibu dealer should be able to get them for you. Probably for less money now.

She told me the same thing meanwhile I bought them off her the first time for $120 shipped. I didn't tell her who I was this last time I emailed her. She replied quickly for the $200 then I reminded her that I got them for the cheaper price last time and I haven't heard back. $200 is still a good deal they retail for $210 each.

Why not use these at a fraction of the price?

http://www.oznium.com/marine-led-light

The only drawback I see it the housing is made of aluminum instead of SS, so it may not last as long in saltwater/brackish water conditions, but at that price you could buy tons of them for replacement when they deteriate.

Where or how would you rout the wires? I would be nervous about drilling a hole in the transom of my boat. But it is my first boat and i'm always scared of doing something wrong to it.

jason, I am curious as to how bright those are. Anyone have any experience with them?

Brian You can alwasy do the "Tricky Dicky"

You can take the positive 12v lead and wire it to one side of boats platform bracket (thats on the inside or your boat. (do the same with the neg) Then you can grab power from the swim step as it makes contact. You can see some pictures of my swim step. Looks how my swim step is getting power off the brackets One side Pos and one side neg. I also thought about adding one of the transom lights to the swim step (facing backwards) It could be mounted to the swim step making it so that you dont need to drill into your transome. "ooo Wait". That would be a usfull product! We dont need that! instead what the wakeboard indusrty needs is another tower speaker or wakeboard handle

G, read the thread you attached. Thats a pretty ingenious idea And some very amazing work you guys did on that platform. Thanks for the ideas. I just added one more winter project to the boat.

T-Bag, all I haveseen are the pics Oznium has on their site. They look to produce lots of light in their pics, but I would like to see them with my own eyes.

I just order mine form from her as well. Very fast response. $200.00 for the pair of lights. I can hardly wait to get them.
Tazz

I have done what's pictured above but the light only shines about 2' out because the light is going down into the water. Still looks great but doesn't project out like the Abyss lights would.

G, I did my power the same way but I seem to get some sort of corrosion after a while. Have you had any issues?

its from electrolisis (sp?). And yes it is normal

Why don't any of the Abyss lights come in Red.... I am not to keen on the blue... price is right.. now only if I could get a nice "theme" matching colour...

I ordered from Oznium first, I got some floods, and some spots. Both are very bright. I was goin gto do a combo of two floods, and two spots. The main problem I see is that the wires come out of the aluminum housing on the side. you would have exposed wires, and you need to seal where they come out of the light housing ( per instructions from Oznium )

one Abyys light is as bright as the four light set up I was planning on.

Havent put them on the boat yet, but Im very glad I bought the abyss.

And yes they sell for about 225.oo each, so 200.00 per pair is still a good price.

I got mine for 160.00 shipped to florida.

Last night at the MasterCraft dealer I snapped this pic, the lights look exactly like the Abyss lights, I'm sure they are the same. Very cool, I can't wait to add these to my boat;

We just finished developing and testing a water proof transom LED that has the same specs as the Abyss LED in this thread... It will be a better flat surface mount design and it will be thinner.. They will be available in mid October in Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and White for less than $100.00 each retail.

Sweet Ken! I think I will wait.

I wish that I would have seen this first. I just got confirmation that my Abyss lights are on their way to my house. OH well next boat.

Ken,

Do you know how they will do in VERY muddy water?

I would love something like this, but our lake is so muddy. I figure it would be a waste of money...

Tim

Tim,

I'm not sure what these LED's look like in brackish or muddy water.. I don't think I would install underwater LEDs in muddy water: I would install LEDs within the interior of the boat in these conditions.

Ken

Tim,
I have 120 leds (yes, 120) on my transom facing out under the swim platform. If I go to Lake Geneva where it's clean they shoot out 25' easily. If I go to the Chain O' Lakes in Il where the water is root beer, they shoot back about 6" beyond the platform--total waste of time and money. If you boat exclusively on muddy water, spend your money for stereo equipment instead!!

Ken, that is sweet I'll be picking up a set from you when they are done. I was planning on going with another set of Abyss but not now.

How do the Abyss lights mount? is it just small holes for the screws and wires or a big hole for the whole thing to mount in?

Small hole for the wire.

Ken- Awesome stuff!

I will be ordering from you.. looks like you are the only one with Red LED's!

I still have not received my lights yet. I ordered them on August 20th. She also has not replied to my email. Getting a little upset. I am going to send her 1 more email before I contact PayPal.
Tazz

She sent mine really quick.

Yep, 6 small holes drilled in the transom to install. Then run the wires to your dash switch & power. I tapped into a circuit the previous owner setup for all the interior LEDs. Then I used white silicone bathroom caulking in the holes as I screwed the lights in place. No leaks & works great.

She's a nice lady but her communication after the purchase is for •••••••••• I said I threatened her and received a call real quick and I actually purchased mine outside of Ebay so I really had no protection.

I paid through paypals. I am covered that way. She finally responded. She said that she needed to find my mailing address to see if they have been sent out.
Tazz

Yeah, I payed with Paypal too so I threatend mail fraud charges not real sure if that would have flown or not. I'm sure you will get them pretty soon.

She just emailed me. She said that I will be getting my light in a couple of days. She had said that She sent the lights out on the 22 of August. I did not get them. I am glad that we do not have to go to extreme measures. I will let you know when I get them.

Would anyone be interested in a group buy on the Abyss lights

I'd do a group buy! She already quoted me $200 shipped. Maybe if we get enough she can drop it down $25-50 bones.

I'm not dealing with the lady. I'm working directly with Abyss on getting an account setup for a website I will be launching in the near future. But if I make a larger first order, Im pretty sure I can get a much better deal on pricing deal on pricing for those interested. I'll post more when I hear back from Abyss today.

Sounds good, I'm looking for a winter project!

I would be in for a group buy

Let me know to.

Count me in too.

Depending on how much i might too.

Well, so far it looks like the eBay lady wins. I don't how in the world or where she gets them so cheap. They prices Abyss quoted me aren't even that low. I told him I could get them cheaper, he said he found it hard to believe I could get them at less than half price for a pair.

Yeah Abyss is $210 each and she's $200 a pair shipped and like I said last time I got mine for $120 shipped. I don't know if she would be in for a group buy I'm sure she can only get so many in her coat when she leaves the plant.

It might be better to do a group buy when Ken get's his to market. What'ya say Ken?

HatenPain, the prices I got were wholesale prices, directly buying from them to resell, their wholesale price given to me, which I was told was standard, is still decently higher than what she sells them for. I'd say she's the best bet for now. I'm still trying to talk with him, because someone is getting them cheap from somewhere

She's probably getting them right off the boat from china.

I spoke to soon on the retail price.. We are finally starting to get our final numbers in, and our LED's will retail for about $149.99 each. I can do a one time group buy for everyone here at $99.99 including free shipping, but that is as cheap as it is going to get..
