Running LEDS on a boat without wiring

[Bobbybass]

Firstly...I am not touting for business.

 

My cousins daughter has been involved with developing this product...and I couldn't see the uses...

Someone on the forum...asked about running wires to LED's and it clicked one of my very dormant..'little grey cells'.

 

Other than seeing a demonstration using a Christmas card..I have no experience of it....so I have no knowledge of current carrying capacity...resistance etc..

You 'paint' the wires on using a special pen.

 

Just thought..(if it works) it may be the answer to messing about with wires..but you would have to do further research yourselves. Don't shoot the messenger..it was only an idea.

Hi ya Bobbybass

Isn't advances in technology exciting & wonderful !.

Brilliant idea,,But I think it would have very limited uses in the marine domestic environment.

specifically the 'paint' once dry,would be an unprotected live wire wherever it is painted..

In addition to which,you would be limited to what material it could be used / painted on,ie Non conductive.

Plus I think that it wouldn't carry enough power to be of practical use evenly through out its length,& possibly even create 'hot spots' due to the uneven bead that would be manually squeezed or painted on.

But ime sure it will only be a matter of time before ,if my observations are correct,be rectified.

I think the cost would make this impractical, £6 for 10ml!

 

In theory a good idea if you wanted to use a little bit to get round a tricky angle or something like that.

 

Not sure how much voltage or amps it can carry though...

I've used something similar ( Linky ) to fix a heated rear window. Still working!

 

(Makes the stuff referred to by the OP look quite reasonably priced!)

Hi...

 

As I said..I have no knowledge of the product..other than I made my first visit in 20 years to my cousin..and she showed it tro me.

Didn't even know what it costs...

 

Maybe someone will find it useful..
