Spring Projects: Who is doing what?

[ian ashton]

I spent a little time last night finishing up some more on the LED system. I replaced the 12" LED bars that I had in the gunnels with 48" flexable LED strips. The problem that I was having with the strips is that they bend, alot, making the light distribution look kinda off. My solution was to secure them to 48" AL channel, then mount the channel into the gunnel. It worked perfectly, now I get even distribution of light, and its much brighter.

(If you look closely you can kind of see my rusty screws, haha)



I also finally wired up the lights in the tower speakers - our lake does 4th of July fireworks on the water, so I wanted to have all my lights up and running for that. I didn't stay out late enough to see them in the dark, but at dusk they were noticeable, I'm sure at night they'll look killer.


I know, I know, Krypt speakers, OMG they are the worst company ever, they steal designs, yada yada. I'll say this; I've used the tower speakers about 5 times, I mostly wanted them because they look cool (LOL), so given the low cost, they were a no brainer. They sound decent, and fill the tower giving it that 'look'. Some day I'm sure I'll switch to something fancier, but thats pretty low on the list.
