Looks the part, now to get a bit of ink and some big scales on your deck. Bit of blood just for effect. :thumbsup:

Just wire it in before the LED strip connection and attach it to the light pole. I've been running one of these for a year and also use them on my all-in-one battery/light setups. They allow about 6 different light levels, different flash patterns and can be used as a simple on/off switch. Make sure you seal the ends watertight and it should last a while.

My pole setup would be too high to wire it b3fore the led strip I'll have to cut the pole down a tad .I'll work something out on the weekend .does sound handy and would save battery .ty
