can someone recommend a good boating spotlight

toadfish · Mar 17, 2005

Hi,

I stumbled across this forum while looking for some spotlight reviews. I need a durable, rechargeable, weatherproof (waterproof), spotlight for boating. I would like to be able to use it either corded or without the cord. I'm not terribly concerned with millions of candlepower. Mainly, I want one that is comfortable enough for me to hold and aim while driving my fishing boat at night. Can someone give me some ideas of lights or dealers where I can look at them. Thanks.

Lightforce has what you may want in a variety of packages.
This is the main site but the Australian side is much better than what they do here.

marine pro

you might find better prices if you shop around but Overtons is a very reputible supplier

I have the marine pro on my boat and its plenty bright

I think the hs is water proof

it is corded only - you would need a battery belt

"you would need a battery belt"....found here /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes, the HS is wqaterproof. I was out blinding trees tonight. It's a very nice light.

The HS is waterproof, Drop resistant and works for an hour with the Vector baterry. Real nice.
It's new, strong, and not a copy of anything else. Super deal for $200 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A Princeton Tec Surge Would be a good candidate for this purpose.

actually, i already own a Surge... for diving. i was more interested in a spotlight i can use to navigate inlets and river channels at night to get back to the dock. thanks.

I bought a Streamlight Vulcan, great light, but not very comfortable to hold when seated and stick steering my jonboat. If I bought another spotlight, it would be with a cord to reduce weight in the hand, and have a pistol grip. Ended up putting a 12V driving light from auto supply store on front boat.
