Default ABYSS underwater lights input?

Any one has experience with these lights?

They're less expensive than OceanLed and appear to be brighter. their 1515 is about 40% less money that the Amphibians 12 and are much brighter.
Concerned about quality comparison

Thanks for the input

I can't comment on the Abyss but I have the Lumitec SeaBlaze 3 and they are very bright. They are also pretty affordable compared to most others.

Others on here have been pretty happy with ScarabCris' coastal night lights.

I have a pair of 1515's and they are bright and seem to be of high quality, although I have only had them for one season.

LI32 on my 35 Henriques would 2 of the 1515 lights be enough or would I need to go with 3.

I saw the abyss's at the ftl show but went with the Ocean amphibian.


Where Should I Mount Underwater Light?

I have a pair of 1515 Abyss on a 33 Bertram for two seasons without any trouble. My boat stays in the water all year. For the price and quality, I would buy them again.

Two is all you need. Try and space them as wide as you reasonably can and still keeping them 8-10" below the water. They are as bright as the Ocean LED 2010's, and brighter than the A-12's (not sure about the new A-12 Pro's that were at the Ft. Lauderdale show). I have the blue, which seem to work well offshore fishing, but are not as bright or cool looking as the white.

Here's a picture of mine.

How do you guys keep growth off the lenses? Going under and wiping them down isn't something I really want to do (they would be uder a swim platform).

I periodically hit them with a soft brush on a 4' handle - but then again I don't have a platform
