Underwater lights

hey does anybody have experience with abyss underwater led lights i am looking to install some on my 38 ocean. Since I have transom mounted trim tabs i am thinking about putting a L800 white light on each tab and a singe S800 blue down the middle. any other ideas of how to position the lights because i fear if i put all three lights on the transom the tabs will block some of the light. here is a pic of the boat out of water so u could get an idea of how things are set up

thanks in advance
Greg

Looking at the lights there are White, Green & Blue, for fishing what would be the best colour?

at night i believe that almost any light in the water will attract baitfish. one time while fighting a tarpon afters sunset we turned on the spreader lights and there were small bonita hitting the fishing line. there were also many other baitfish attracted to the light

I been using coastalights for over a year. Wished that I went with the blue ones,but at the time Chris only had white. I also got a pair of his spreeder lights. Very happy with them and the light output/price.

Thanks for the replies , I have decided to go with three Abyss underwater lights 2 whites and a blue down the middle. I was considering coastal night lights but a local boat builder gets the abyss lights supplied at builders prices and he gave me a good deal that i couldn't pass up.

thanks again for the suggestions
