    Default Submersible green led light


    Finally got around to putting my light together. 300 green LEDs , internally weighted. Sealed with silicone and then some left over plastic dip from making rod holders.

    How much money you got invested in that? Since you live so close to me you can just make me one for Christmas ha ha. I have never used one but if yours works and you have success with it I might either try and make me one or hire you. It would run good off my battery set up for my LED lights

    That's pretty cool how you wrapped that. Do you have a weight in it to sink it?

    The cost is for two lights. The 5meter string of LEDs (16') are $20 on EBay. The clear 1.250 PVC pipe was about $20 for two feet. It is internally weighed with some old lead shot I had around. The rest is two 1.250" PVC pipe caps 3/4" PVC pipe and caps for the core to wrap the lights on and hold the weights. I also splic inside the core to I have double protection against moisture. The string is just spiral wrapped, it does make a pattern. This is the second light, the first was a full sting of leds, it is very bright. Things I learned so far. You can use T-12 florescent bulb cover. They are fragile and don't last long you will be doing it again soon. You can also find clear pipe that is smaller in diameter, it is cheaper but there are not pipe caps to fit it. I had to machine adapters on a lathe, no big deal to do if you have a lathe or access to one.
