Led light bars

Silent snooker · September 2014

i have seen plenty of boats with all different kinds of lights mounted on the front to help see while driving in the dark. i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of a good light bar to mount on the bow of my almost finished new to me duck boat. any tips to look for when shopping would be appreciated(size,brand,lumen). not trying to break the bank but it gets difficult driving, shining, and looking at the gps when its just myself on the boat. thanks

Won't bow mounted "headlights" get you a ticket?

I've used a Wagner 4509 bulb Hardhat light for over 30 years. Good thing is you can look side to side to see cuts, trails, and places you might want to set up.

And burn retinas off those who get too close

Cree Led's, Just like the Rigid's just a whole lot cheaper.

I'm in the market right now also. Finishing up my gheenoe duck boat and need something that won't extend out too far because of the narrow bow. Looking for something with a flood/spot combo, no more than 12" wide that won't break the bank. I know I want to go with cree led bulbs but its tough when you can't see them working at night to know if they'll work like you want. I definitely don't want to get stuck buying light after light till I find what I want.

could anyone comment on the legality of these on a boat in florida. i want to make sure i won't be ticketed before purchasing them.

Pin man my dad and I have both been running 4509 aircraft landing light for ever and a day. Great bulb and we mount them on the strap out of a melding helmet. As far as the led lights go. Amazon!!!! You can get 1550 lumen round or square pod off road lights for less than $40 each and they draw 27 watts a big plus for Jon boat guys like me with small non charging engines. As far as legality goes I can't see where it would affect anything in a negative way your making yourself more visible just make sure your nav light is visible as well red and green and it's not shining up so high that it may blind oncoming boat traffic. You will probably want more flood than spot on light pattern

this one seems to be a good deal:

They can not interfere with your regular nav lights. See coast guard rule below.

Rule 20 - Application

(a) Rules 20-31 shall be complied with in all weathers.

(b) The Rules concerning lights shall be complied with from sunset to sunrise, and during such times no other lights shall be exhibited, except such lights which cannot be mistaken for the lights specified in these Rules or do not impair their visibility or distinctive character, or interfere with the keeping of a proper look-out.

I went ahead and ordered this one for the front of the gheenoe. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261532908344?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That's kinda what I was thinking. I remember guys getting tickets for lights mounted near the bow light because they basically negated it. A spot on you head or on top of a T-top wouldn't do that.
