First, I must thank and applaud Orion for practicing the lost art of trying to light the object and not the entire lake. Thank you for doing your valuable part. I am sometimes tempted to have a thread showing the most ridiculous lake lighters but their is really no fair way to photograph the light shows in a uniform manner that conveys the true impact on your dilated pupils.
The solution that we are working on is also an X10 device. We have two X10 dimmers which we are installing on two critical docking and stair climbing helpers. The key chain remote controls both devices and allows you to control the dimmer and on off from the boat.
The benefits of being able to arrive or depart after dark with some light is part of the motivation. Being able to leave for a night ride and shut the lights off while we are gone is most of the reason. As has been stated earlier, the X10 stuff is very reasonably priced.
