what's been your experience on the power-needs/use of the bluewater LED's?
edit:
just went and ordered from the website: and found the specs on power-use:
"Super low amperage draw between .026 and .041 amps per strip depending on size. Average strip is around .47 watts. 12V DC"
They'll run on anything. As I'm rigging them and checking for brightness and where the light will fall, not get in my eyes, etc, I ops check them on a 9v battery before I wire them to the switch. I just powered them off my trolling motor batts because they draw so little, so as to be negligible and the run was shorter. I run my LED's in my outboard intake off one of the rear batteries.
Sorry they're grainy...iPhone pics....
