I’m looking for recommendations for LED cockpit lighting. Blue. Strictly for at the dock usage.

I have seen these flimsy self adhesive strip but I want something better. Adhesive strips break down and things fall off.

I have new cockpit lights on order and blue LED’s for them.

I like the strips myself. I get the ones with 3M backing and they're protected really well under the gunnel.

These seem to be more of what your looking for. I have no experience with them.

while a bit more of a pain, i would get the full spectrum lights and a controller. the blue looks cool, but reduces your night vision if you are looking back and forth at the blue and a dark area, you can have difficulty. it would be nice to be able to switch to red in that scenario. or switch to white to really be able to see the deck if you need to.

I have 3 of the Lumitec Andros lights for courtesy lighting but in red. 2 replaced the old style incandescent for the step leading to the walk-around, and I added 1 at the step up to the helm not installed in this pic.20240203_170005.jpg

I have the lumitec light bars. Awesome, 2 color blue and white. Put blue led in the round cockpit lights as well and wired the light bars into the cockpit lights. Perrrrfect.
