LED's and $$$

I discovered that my underwater LED assembly sprung a leak and shorted out the whole thing. I really never boat at night, so never use the light but I really REALLY don't like it when my junk does not work right. I found the replacement on Amazon:

The only question is....why the hell does blue cost 20 bucks more than green and 40 more than white?
Rant over...thanks for listening

Prices for LED lights always amazes me. The LEDs can't cost more than 10 bucks for the set. Clearly the housing isn't great either as it leaked.
If you do yank out the old one I'll gladly try to get it to work again and make it worth your while. I've been prototyping my own color changing set.

New lights came in from Amazon yesterday and I did the install today. Pretty straightforward. Unscrew the old one, pull it off, clean out the old 3M 4200. New one was a direct replacement. New wiring, new 4200 and screw the thing back on. Very bright!
I also learned that the Attwood lights have a 10 year warranty, so the leaky one is going back to Attwood. If they honor the warranty, I may soon have a new Underwater LED assembly for sale. If anyone is interested, let me know.

It is pretty bright. I made the mistake of bench testing while looking directly at the light. Blinded me for a few seconds when it came on
I sent the old one in yesterday. I'll let you know if I get a new one back.
