Plhorn, <BR> <BR>Thanks! That just gave me a big belly laugh for sure. Watch some of those fish actually hit that guy in the head, LOL! I wish I knew more about where and what that was. <BR> <BR>And of course, my complements to G for making a first class setup, as usual.

That video was either shot in brasil, or some Brazilians in IL.

H2O Pro, <BR> <BR>The Shadow-Caster LED's are available till the 28th of this month at a special price of $499.00 for all colors offered with the 20' cable. <BR> <BR>PM me if you have any questions.

G - the real test is seeing those lights in super clear water like Tahoe or Fallen Leaf.

rocketman 08-31-2009 6:55 PM

Wow, that's pretty neat. The only "improvement" I can think of is to make it Powerwedge style so that you could wakesurf behind it. I say "improvement" because you don't wakesurf.

grant_west 08-31-2009 6:59 PM

Mark: Fallen Leaf, Where is this lake @. I was gonna make a trip to Cherry lake off of 120 up to Yosemite to see some real clear water. I had heard story's of 70 feet visability. <BR>Tahoe would be pretty awesome. <BR>David: Wakesuf speed's don't seem to affect the light bar I say seem because it has not broken off LOL.

rocketman 09-01-2009 1:05 PM

I was thinking powerwedge just for more bling effect (as if it didn't have enough already)<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>I thought of some other improvements, which I'm sure are overkill- <BR> <BR>1) double stack them <BR>2) where Collin suggested welding a plate, do so and add two more LEDs that point straight down <BR> <BR>That very last pic that you posted is so picture perfect. It's perfect distribution with no gaps whatsoever. Job well done.

SICK! Should have them dim to music!

Grant, how did this turn out after a yr or so of using? I want to build something similar to this Dont want to infring on your idea but this is awesome.. Or if you would be interested in building something close to this for my Supra SSV24 shoot me a price...

Bar
 
Grant,
Do you have any more of that aluminum bar left? I want to fab up a bar like that. I have two Shadowcasters, and really like your idea. I want to make mine in a slight 'V' shape. Where did you order the through hull fitting, and did you just wire the lights all in to one cable? My boat has a dedicated circuit for underwater lights.

Thanks, and great job!
Mike

LED's are alot like cocaine. You only have a problem, when you are out of money........

hyperlite 10-27-2010 4:42 AM

That is insane.....

grant_west 10-27-2010 9:40 AM

I bought the 20 foot Piece from a place called Tacko Metal's. West Marine is a dealer for them so I bout the Aluminum from them at West Marine. And Yes I have some left over. Let me know how much you think you will need.
I got the Aqua Signal waterproof connection from West Marine also
Matt: Your not infring on my Idea. The reason for posting it was to share it with people,Go for it. After a Year or more of use I wouldn't change anything about the design or build.

wakeboardingdad 12-17-2010 9:59 AM

Sick! Great install and design!

992envy 07-21-2011 1:08 PM

Grant you don't by chance have the dimensions of your light bar as well as the angles for those of us who don't have access to a pool? Thanks, great tech write up!

dhcomp1 01-29-2012 8:23 PM

Passed this guy on the freeway on Saturday! Funny to recognize the light bar first....

Looks good!

dhcomp1 06-27-2012 2:23 PM

Immediately recognized your light bar when i pulled up behind your boat on the freeway a couple months ago.

Good work!

All three lights will attach to the light bar and mount so the light in not just shooting straight back but also to the side's of the boat. I wanted the light to shine all around the back of the boat in a 180 degree pattern. Here is a quick sketch of what I was thinking. <BR>

Awesome stuff. I am so glad you have shared entire process with pics. It does help a lot. I would love to get new led lights and get it done ASAP:D:D
