My over head courtesy light are tri colored and I find that I use the blue most of the time and hardly ever use the red as I can see the water much better with the blue and it's softer on the eyes.
I think I paid a total of $100.00 for the ribbon lights for 16' (8' on each side)

Looks cool - On the ribbon lights you say you mounted them with phoenoseal caulk. So do you just lay a bead of caulk on the fiberglass under the gunnel and the ribbon lights stick to the caulk??. I would guess you need to tape them in place or something temporarily until the caulk dries??
