We shot around 4300 fish with 27s and a couple 50s last summer so i think that they work just fine even if they are cool white im sure things will improve with time but i dont think you can go wrong for the price of 27s.

Was also looking at the 60w and 42w LED's on CustomFitz, are they the same color light as the 27's? Might mix it up a little

 

[whiteriverrambo]

yea same color. the guys with the 42s have been giving good reviews.

 

[Stickbow Hunter]

Ok, would it be best to mound them higher on a rail to get more light spread or best to keep them lower? Im gonna have a flush deck with a railing.

 

[CarpCommander]

Higher is generally better.

I like my 2- 40W LED's up front & my 27W on the side. I'm like jb-hunter mine are on 2 switches, left side, right side. 1 31 series batt for the lights, 1 31 series for the 12V 54lb troller. 2 Powermax 55amp converters, for each (lights & troller). 3 bank on-board charger keep my batteries fresh all year round. I switched out trollers since the pictures. I went with a Watersnake 54" 54lbs tiller. I have zero complaints about my LED's.

Got another question for you guys. If im running 20 27w lights how much run time should i get if im using 2 batterys? These are the batterys i use http://www.walmart.com/ip/EverStart-27DC-6-Marine-Battery/16795212

Why would ya wanna run a bunch of smaller lights vs a few large lights?

The price basically, but in all honesty i have no idea what light setup would be best when it comes to led's. My deck is gonna be 5' long by 63" wide.What light setup would be most efficent for that size deck?

 

[Hacksaw]

Ive got 6 27s per battery and can run all nite no problem. The new smaller 50 watts that customfitz has are awesome and they are bout the same size as the 27s.

Im tellin ya...go with the 50's. I have 10 but you could get away easily with 8 or maybe even 6. I have a 7' deck. They are plenty bright, and less lights means less wiring and less lights to break.

for 27 watt leds:
The lights pull around 1.8 amps each and you can drain your battery by at least 80% without compromising output or damaging your battery. So the formula to compute your available light time would be Battery rated Amp Hours X 80% divided by number of lights per battery X 1.8 amps
Using the 125 amp hour WalMart battery and your 10 lights.............. (125 X .80) / (10 X 1.8) = 5.56 hours

[Hacksaw]

[glassbow201]
