Looks good! What spreaders did you use? They were some cheap ones from Amazon. $17.99 for the pair but they work great.  |

Good choice - know several guys that are using these on boats with good success and I just picked up a couple pair for a project. The only negative I’ve heard is that the mounting hardware itself may rust a little over time.

This looks great. I've been looking at the same spreaders, and alternatively some larger floods, for dedicated docking lights. The Kawell spreaders look as though they're fairly well sealed -- and less prone to condensation, hopefully.
The LED install is sharp. Did you purchase a kit, or use several different brands of strips, etc.?

I had to use some adhesive on the console. They are wired on both ends and you can cut every 3 lights to make any length you want. www.ebay.com/i/361849202106 |

I did this a few years ago and use 3M outdoor double stick tape to attach the LEDs to the boat console.
You can also get a different LED strip I think it’s 3428 that is not quite as bright as the 5050’s
