What color of lighting are you folks ordering in the axis lineups. I know there is at least two options, blue and white. Would you recommend blue interior and blue underwater lights? Or white inside and out? I just dont know how bright the blue would be inside at night.

Thanks!

Kirk

My opinion is red is the only option for safety reasons. Blue would be the worst for killing your night vision, white is a close 2nd. Red has minimal effect on retnia dilation.

We will be putting all red in ours. Like morrisdl said red is the color that least effects your night vision and our boat will be red 8-)

From the factory I believe the underwater LEDs are white only because I believe they are just the same docking lights.

Hmm okay. The only thing is the boat would be charcoal and vapor blue. Red lights don't really fly, haha. Are the blue interiors really blue or a subtle tone somewhere between white and blue?

The interior LEDs are a medium blue that adds a nice mellow glow...nothing overpowering. If you're going with blue underwater LEDs I'd recommend Abyss or Shadow Caster. I have 2 Abyss 800's on my boat and they are in the middle the Abyss line-up but are very bright in fairly clear water. Here's a pic of my boat and another member's boat, we both have the same exact LEDs.

Looked at our order form and white is the only option for under water transom lights. Interior under seat lighting is multiple color options

Please provide me with a detailed install of your LEDs, including a link to purchase them and all the required gear for an install. Don't forget the locations too. I might be interested in installing some white LEDs if they make them. I am not very excited about blue, green, or red LEDs.
