In regards to your lights can you tell me if I am reading this right; you bought two of the sets pictured in the box, and each set is $119? Or did you just by one set, as pictured, and only used one light? Let me know an I can make a call on your lighting.

What made you think up these particular lights? The dolphins?

I like your dog!

Sounds good. If you have a photo of your receipt for the lights, would you post it, or send me the link please for an online comparison.
