I have always ran HPS lights and after a ruff weekend on the potomac I think that Im done with bulbs. I've spent a few days looking at the many LED options and checked out Custom Fitz, Seelite and the ones that are offered on Amazon. What ever I get I want to run off of my geni. I have read a few threads but still like to hear as many opinions as possible. I think the 50w warm whites are at the top of my list right now. What do you guys think of those and where is the best deal for them.
Should I switch to LEDs

I'll be interested to see what you think of them compared to the lights on your old boat.

That is pretty dang nice, and so is not having to buy fuel for the generator. What's also nice is being able to see fish way the frig out yonder and not have to strain your eyes all night in hopes of spotting fish to kill.

we don't have to strain our eyes all night hoping to find fish and we seem to get good distance out of out leds. Yeah we can see them from across the lake but we can still take shots out to 15 yards or so off my boat

I did, and it was awesome, however have not been able to compare to yellow and amber, they are both in the mail for a test, if they happen to show today I will go out tonight and get pics, if I do go out tonight I will get pics of the green against white.

I put on the Light Yellow Amber headlight tint on tonight. Tomorrow night I'll see how it goes on the water. I like the way they look, very transparent look, were you can see the LED lights. I can see their will be a big difference with the Light Yellow Headlight tint (which I installed)will put out a lot more light than the Orange Amber & Yellow Transparent Amber tint.

Make sure you post up some pics
I think the translucent yellow is gonna give you a similar effect to the half and half amber/clear lights you did. Il post in a second the seller on Ebay I bought the amber im using. Looks quite a bit different than what you had. Looks more like a frosted amber on yours and very translucent on mine. Def wanna see water results. And I will do the pics in water this weekend.

to be quite honest, my lens are textured lens on my 40W's my 27W are smooth with the back side of the lens texture. The lens film is smooth and quite translucent, I have to disagree with you about the Light Yellow Lens film, I believe no judgement should be made until I post the pictures when my boat is on the water. Plus my test are with 40W LED flood's & 27W LED floods, the out will be quite different on yours vs mine, that is something to ponder. I have 2 more 40W Floods ordered to mount up front.
Oh so the lens on the light was giving it the.frosted look? Interesting. That will make a difference in all my staements. I still feel like the darker amber 1/2 covered the way they blended would equal the lighting of the yellow. Should be pretty cool to see the.difference.
