I think what you're looking for is more along these lines. A couple of websites are showing a price of around $150.


The answer is very simple. YOU DON'T

Flood lights in similar housings are commonly found on larger yachts. They are powder coated, but will eventually need to be replaced.



Even the standard MARINE units like this don’t last long. The plastic gets brittle over time, the SS gets weathered, and the bulbs go out.


I do like the lights you posted, but what are the specs of those?

There is something for everyone.

Bogii, the lights Surg posted about are architectural landscaping lights, which are obviously not intended for marine use.

The lights I posted about, in my previous post, are designed for the marine environment and run around $150. Here's a more exposed link:

Yo Surg, is the fixture you posted a marine-grade fixture? If so, would you mind posting a manufacturer's link to the specs? Of if not, maybe a PM...?

David, it's not; see my previous two posts.

Being a landscape architect, I thought you'd have noticed that!

Looks like an architectural fixture to me, but I'm leaving the response up to Surg. OK Andrew, so now you're an marine electrical fixtures expert? I figured you're just heckling 'dickweed' some more...

I'd like to see the specs on the one Surg put up. I've got a pair of Seachoice 50w halogens right now but would really like some good LEDs if they don't cost an arm and a leg.

Since you doubt me, here are the specs ... easily found by following the cut and paste technique used by Surg.

Sorry to disappoint you, but, if you follow the link that I posted in a previous post, you'll find what you're looking for.

Not disappointed at all. I didn't see any link to his post to follow, but nice that you did. Thanks for the info...

So, you gonna be getting back on the water soon?
