Review on Enhance Your Boating Experience with Interwebz Boat Bow Navigation LED Lighting Kit - Red and Green by Frank Tyrance

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good idea but very poorly implemented

Good idea but very poorly implemented. The waterproof plastic that encases the LEDs is very soft and flexible, but the LED strip itself is not. At some point before I received it, someone bent it too much and broke the strip, causing only half of the red LEDs to light up. Didn't have time to return it, just wanted to throw it in the bin but noticed the strip on the separator was torn - so I cut the plastic, soldered it back and filled it with silicone ointment and wrapped it in duct tape ; then as soon as the stickiness started i pulled the tape out. Everything seems to be working fine now - it's actually very bright, shiny red and green - but having to fix a supposedly brand new thing isn't something I'd like to spend money on. Addendum: It's only been a few weeks and now these things are spoiling and falling apart - rotting from the inside. The plastic coating seems to go all the way to the edge, but not beyond, so it's neither waterproof nor truly airtight. Take it home: Don't buy this unless you want to redo all the work.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
