Yea, you'd smack your head then. My tallest pass is 6'2, and we adjusted it so he had about an inch of head room.

Thats a new one. Interesting an igniter company is making LED lights. 

Diablo makes a large variety of products. $45 to $400+. check em out. And do a thread search on here.. They are talked about. Search is your friend

I have a Diablo 4 light led drain plug light. Works great when the wedge is down, not so much with the wedge up.

Just keep in mind that the reason it is illegal to use lights like that on the water is that it does very little to help the driver (you have to have something/someone to reflect the light back before it helps) but it blinds all the other boats operating in your direction. It's the equivalent of using parking/running lights in a car from the drivers persepctive, but super bright high beams from the other boats persepctive. I hope that makes sense. 

Those bright lights are usually labeled "docking lights" because that is the one time it makes sense to use them.  They really help light up a dock when you are approaching it, and it is highly unlikely that you would be blinding any other operators.

Interesting. A 4 light setup and the wedge still blocks the light huh? An pics of the lights on with wedge up and then down?? That would be useful on here. I already bought my light and waiting to install so its too late for me but I plan to start a new thread on here labeled something like "Transom lights and wedge problems?" or something to the effect so its easily searchable when people have the question.

Saw these mentioned over on WW. I've looked for some tower lights for a wile that don't have that Chinese Look or Off-Road Look, these might be good. No idea on price yet.

Tower Lights

@Ronnie have you seen these vision x lights. They come in black and white and there is lots of nicer mounting options that you can get. Super bright.  https://www.visionxusa.com/shop/2-15-solstice-solo-prime/

No pics on the water, but hopefully will have some in the next couple of weeks!! Weather willing!

They work well with the transom lights, with both on, it puts out quite a bit, and the white doesn't drown the blue out too bad.

Tower Lights

Found them online for $160 each.  You can do a quick google search for "Octane – LED Wakeboard Tower Light"  

i really like these, and was hoping they would be a little less expensive.  

[Ronnie]

Yeah, not worth that to me either.
