In need of a BRIGHT Boat Spot Light.

I don't know if you guys noticed, but this thread is nearly a year old, resurrected by a spammer.

I reported it a few minutes ago. You probably did too.

I realize that this thread is nearly a year old and had been resurrected by a spammer.

But now I am curious what the OP, jtice, finally ended up using.

Yes, the spammer is gone for good, as of yesterday, but maybe he did do something useful by bumping the thread. It would be interesting to know the outcome.

Hi guys, this sure is an old thread

I never really ended up with anything suited for this specific task.
At least, nothing all that water tight, that could he dropped in the water, etc.

I did however end up getting a BrightStar LightHawk around this time.
Which is fairly water tight, and would probably take a couple dunks into the water.
But I dont think you would want to go swimming with it.

I will probably end up using it for the boat also, just have to tie it off cuz it doesnt float.

I upgraded the bulb to a ROP bulb, which made it a bit brighter, and have a bit better beam.
Really nice light, I have it mounted in my Jeep now actually.

Supposedly those cheap 6volt Eveready yellow lanterns/spotlights float. Don't think they are bright enough.

Brand-New version of 6-volt Eveready "Dolphin" lantern (waterproof)

See its post # 19 for a link to buy from Amazon.com, in the U.S.A.


Hope this is helpful. :wave:

Take a look at the Streamlight Survivor LED. It is a yellow or orange plastic, tough as nails right angle light with a deep reflector for an intense hot spot. Though it uses a Luxeon LED, it has a lot of throw. Its waterproof, regulated, and runs on 4 AA cells. If you use Lithium AA cells, it will almost float on its own, and adding a keychain style float will probably keep it from sinking.

These were designed for fire fighters, but I think they are perfect for a boat.

It's a great light but not waterproof. It's "weatherproof" or water-resistant. Lithiums are not recommended by the manufacturer.

Just get the Amondotech N30.

The light has done well with Lithium AA cells in my experience, even though Streamlight won't certify them. It has also resisted water extremely well, though I have not tried to dive with it.

Odd, I just now got the email notification for this, LOL sheesh.

Anyway, I actually have a Streamlight Survivor also
I modded it to a Seoul LED, and its quite the thrower now.
I have had it in water a good bit, not too much total submersion, but very wet, and its been fine.
Nice light, and the nice deep reflector really throws a beam.

Not odd at all. I will explain.


You see, i noticed the post (from yesterday, 6/16/2008) was SPAM.

So, i reported said post to our CPF moderators.


They burst onto the scene, with weapons drawn, and flashlights blazing.





Then, they took careful aim, and ZAPPED the offensive post.




Case Closed !

:devil:


BTW, i can't understand why spammers keep trying
to attack this specific thread.


Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of the evil lurkers.

Sodium lights are another option.
