The adhesive usually sucks on those strip lights. Whenever I stick them onto whatever I'm doing. I clean it good using an aggressive cleaner like brake clean or carburetor cleaner. Something that evaporates fast. And every 8-10" I'll dab some clear silicone/adhesive and put the lights through that as well. It really helps. The other option is to install them a few days after a fresh paint job. So I'm waiting at this point until summer when I repaint my new boat interior before I install mine. Thanks for the video. Looks nice and bright for sure. Probably makes a big difference for night time fishing.
@@Catfishedge yeah I fell out of the circle for awhile. Got out of catfishing back into tournament bass fishing. But I got my own boat now so I'll be doing more catfishing. Caught a flat head and channel cat tonight bass fishing on a spinner bait lol
Glad to see you like yours I installed some in my boat over the winter and was really curious if others did it and liked them. Can't wait to be able to get out and try mine out
Doing the same thing to my boat but adding white led also to its own switch.. great video it made me get the uv light strip because how it made your boar look from afar
Maybe you did, but you didn't say it that way, my boat has a three way switch, off, navigation, and anchor. I put all my led's in on the anchor side of the circuit, that way when I am running there are no inside lights to blind me in the dark. I didn't use the long light strips, but I did use strips, I used the kind for marker lights on the front of high end cars under the head lights, they are much brighter, and whiter, and gives you good light to see when tying knots and getting hooks out. I put one under the console, one just behind the opening in the front casting deck, and one normal led replacement bulb in the small light that was already built into the console on the side. I also switched mine with another three way switch, so I could have one or two or all three running. LED's will literally run for weeks off a deep cycle marine battery without running it down. I took both strips I got and hooked them up to a small riding lawn mower battery inside before installing them, and just hooked them up and let them run 24/7 as I wanted to make sure that they would not run my battery down too bad. After a week and a half of 24 hrs. I took them off and gave up lol. Still burning bright. Here in St. Louis and on the mighty Mississippi you don't want a dead battery,
Marty Mac That was going to be our question. Battery life. You use a small lawn mower/tractor style battery you say? Have to try that out. Thanks for sharing!!
I was fishing at night and yes the blue strip light like you did in the video and the water bug are the worst and so our the bug so what are the best light are the best ?
Does the blue color attract insects such as mosquitos and such? I am going to rig my boat up for night fishing and wonder about which color would least attract insects into the boat.
Great Video Chad , Me and my wife just bought a 2020 SeaArk Big Easy. We do quite a bit of running at night on the rivers here in Tennessee . I'm going to mount my headlights but if I go under they will get torn up and if I go on the deck I'll trip and go swimming . Do you have any suggestions on the best place to mount 2 (3 x 5) led headlights. Thanks for all you for the sport of Catfishin

Thanks
I got a few kinds of lights in my boat from led light like yours to flood lights.
Cool. Thanks!
Almost 3 years later how are the led lights holding out?
Don't have that boat any longer but I think they're still working for the guy that owns it now.
Nice job!
How are the bugs running these colors?
Cool !!!

+river rat74 thanks

Red is the best color for keeping bugs away.
Does the blue color attract insects such as mosquitos and such? I am going to rig my boat up for night fishing and wonder about which color would least attract insects into the boat.
+redneckradtech Yes. Red is the best IMO but puts off least light

Corners of the consoles is where I would go.
what line do you use at night. You may have already answered it.
20 lb Whisker Seeker Mono
how long are you able to run the lights without draining battery ?
I'm not sure but I've never had an issue.
you ran the red to your switch, did you run the black to the battery?
To the switch
What was the brand and where did you get them for that cheap?
Click the link in the description
Didn't see it. Thanks.
+Ephefrom France follow link in description all info is there
that cut bait board you have mounted, where did you find that at?
gocatfish.in/baittable
Did you put a link where you bought these chad?
It's on the website. Link is in the description.
do they attract bugs
Yes but not as bad as white
Those definitely look like UV LED blacklights. The Amazon link doesn't specify but I'd be surprised if they were not UV.
Yes it does not say on Amazon but they certainly look like UV and perform that way.
Nice vid. Where did you get the lights?
There’s a link in description I think of not it’s on my website
Monoflourecent items catch the light.
Takeaway: Buy 3M
