Don't they donate and support several fishing tourns every year and they have several hunting programs that they support.Anyway i use the 12 volt 55watt bulbs in a droplight housing on mine it works good

I hate not having lights in the boat I always run out of deck and that chit hurts

 

[huntingnut]

i used small led lights and they are bright as he!!

 

[WiscoBowfisher]

Istickem,

What wattage are those LED domelights you found on Ebay and do you know the company you bought them from? They look super brite and would work perfect for me.

 

[midnightmurder]

So are the rope lights your using 12v or 120v?

 

[Robtattoo]

120v & cheap as crap from Wally World. I've got 2 strings linked & I believe they draw a total of 18W

I use 2 car interior lights, just aftermarket replacements, one right behind the deck and one in the back, 12V and have a lil on/off button. Works great.

I just put a couple of the Walmart LED's like on Team Shockers link -and a heads up- they are very directional casting light in a straight line. I've got them facing straight down and really need to angle the bracket to cast more light towards the center of the boat

For me the rope lights were OK, but I felt like they did not provide enough light. They help you see the inside of your boat and provide some light, but if I have to tie on a new arrow or something like that, it just didn't quite do the trick.

I understand what your saying.....You may want a single light for doing that task. Going brighter in the boat will give you "Night Blindness" . A very soft light will give you enough light to move about the boat, yet not give you the night blindness. On my boat they are White, but reflecting off the color of the boat ;Seafoam Green] they have a soft Blueish, green effect. They are not bright...In fact it is very hard to photo them turned on, as the flash from the camera is so bright. If I turn them on in the daytime in my shop, you can't tell a lot about them either. It's just when it's dark out on the water that they work well.

Aboard ship when it's night...They turn on all Red lights so as not to have night blindness.

There is a 8ft string under each Washboard. A 2ft string in the console, under the forward deck and under the Generator platform.

i use one of my elusive wildlife, feeder lights with green led,s in the airboat. just put it under the foot boards and it lights the whole bottom of the boat. its magnetic and sticks just fine. im all about being cheap and using things for multiple purposes!!

I have seen these hung by feeders before, do they use like double A batteries? 12 volt? Do you have a link to where a guy could get them? Thanks

 

[Smokinfeathers]

you can run of 6v,12v or c's.

We took and mount two 150w halo flood lights from lowes under our genny rack and faced them down and towards to outside of the boat and they work great. But to our rack is about 3 feet from the bottom of the boat. And they also help put light at the back of the boat. Like they were 10 bucks each.

this is the little strip they mentioned above from stores like autozone i got them off the net its 1/4" wide 1/4" high and 12" long totally waterproof i went with blue as you can see
i would suggest blue or amber rather than white to cut down on attracting bugs and i wouldn't use red or green as thats a navagation color i have them on the front

the green seems for some reason the hardest to locate

5$ dome light at the local Wal-Mart I try to spend more time on the deck of my boat than down in it but it usually don't work like that lol

 

[Deer_Predator]
