Tide easily replaces existing legacy (halogen) spots negating the need to run extra wires. Integrated drive electronics eliminates the need for remote driver installation. Carefully designed optics result in fully blended illumination free of annoying artifacts or distracting hot spots. A robust thermal management system results in maximum life with minimal lumens depreciation over its expected working life (50,000+ hrs). This model features a stylish base with built-in 3-position on/off/on switch. It is a good choice for over helm lighting or anywhere bi-color (red/white) lighting is desirable.
