Livewell light question

[Raider Ronnie]

Wondering if anyone has LED lights in their livewell tank and actually use them ?
Source of a water leak and or they just go bad over time anyway like anything else on a boat near salt water (given you have the best quality one made you can find)
Thanks

I have the led and its been in for 10yrs so far though not everyday usage but at times 4days at a time and I would estimate I have 1600hrs on it. Hard to tell if any leaks since its incased in the foam insulation.

I ordered 2 and plan to use them.
Aprox where in your tank are yours mounted ?
Low towards the bottom, middle, towards the top ?
Thanks

Mine are about 5" from the top and you really do not need much light so one should be plenty plus the ones that like the dark or need to hide, they can stay lower if you want to use two, I would put both up high. Also the lower you go the more pressure and chance of leaking if its a concern.
