Liquid if they claim 1,000 lumens it might be worth the extra dough. The one on my old boat doesn't light the water up that much, but it's a cheaper version. And the splitter thingy is kinda cool too. You could put two lights in and still have your drain. With that crystal clear water in the "chosen place" it'll look great!

I think you're right. I'm just unclear on how it hooks up... will go into my research hole and get back to you.

Can anyone find this from a reputable seller without waiting two weeks? It'll be winter here by then.

I think you got the large docking lights. Maybe a 4 inch par 3 bulb I think. Mine are the little like 2 inch bulbs.

Back up Liquid. I like the idea of the plug light! Wish I had invented that one!!! I did the other way. I'm curious if off season would be deals on these. I got mine about 150 off each so was happy.

I purchased the drain plug LED light from Diablo two years ago, but never got around to wiring it up. My goal was to wire it to the accessory button on the dash, but life got in the way. I did power it up and it sure was bright. Anyway, the item I ordered was a high quality piece, but I would only use it when I intended to use it, and use the regular plug for long term in water storage.

I'm actually off today. Took a sick day. Was in the ER Sunday morning 2am-5am kidney stone kicking my butt. It lasted for 7 hours. Then it must have moved. It happened a month ago but i tuffed that one out. That one lasted 6 hours. They gave me some really good drugs that knocked the pain out. Now to get rid of this thing. Dr tomorrow. I was hoping today but nope.
