Hi All. I just volunteered my boat for a test case using these LED strip lights that are available on ebay cheap out of china. I haven't seen them used on boats before. They are marketed as being waterproof. There are a few variations on the LED types with the two most common being "SMD 5050" and

Steve -- 4500K is a fairly bright, bluish-white light (daylight is about 6500K). If they have something in closer to 2700K or even 3200K, that would be a much warmer-colored light, more like incandescent. Something to think about. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -

They have a "warm white" but they appeared yellow, like YELLOW, not incandescent. To be honest I don't know how accurate their colour temperatures are. I picked the "in between" one because I figure this is a test and I'll know I can go colder or warmer from this point. Steve C&C 32 Toronto On

The numbers refer to the physical size of the individual LEDs (so 3528 is 3.5mm x 2.8mm, 5050 is 5mm x 5mm). 5050, being bigger, will both cast more light and use more power. I just replaced one fluorescent fixture by making a replacement with 3 feet of 120 LED per meter material, 3528 size.

It makes sense; the job of a primer is to adhere to difficult surfaces and to have a substrate for the paint to attach to.  Zinc being more reactive than copper (biggest part of bronze & brass) and in an ionic form, there should be no (or not much) displacement. Ron Wild Cheri C&C 30 STL --- O

I would love to see some pictures of your setup, Graham. Yes, the 5050 are larger because they contain 3 leds per cell which apparently allows for RGB and mixing any colour. The v-berth is definitely a good candidate. Steve C&C 32 Toronto On 2013-04-04, at 4:28 PM, Graham Collins wrote: > The

Dear C&C seeker, Newer C&C designs (before 1996) are faster just because they kept improving their designs. This proves out by PHRF ratings. But newer costs more. Deep keels point better than centerboarders and are thousands of pounds lighter so they excel in lighter winds too. But in open wat
