Hi Guys
long time reader and learned TONS via reading in the past.
I have been experimenting with different leds lights for nighttime boating on my suclided river and lake in Canada that commenly has dangerous debris.
Originally I had a 54" led lightbar from earthtrack that offered no help. Too much wide spread and not enough spot as the water eats the light.
Second I tried 2 rigid Q2 hyperspot. Big improvement from the lightbar but not enough brightness at only 80 watts.
Desprite to try something brighter with a spot pattern I bought 2 510 watt spot lights from Opoo Lighting in China. Let me say wow these things are stupid bright but they draw a tremendous amount of power. Like many LEDS from China they fasely advertise these 510 watts draw just under 20amp each.
I have been reading in-depth recently and realized that I should be exploring high watt HIDS for long range lighting. The 510 watts work well but the longevity of these lights make me worry. Should I be looking at getting HIDS?
i am looking for the suggestions for the best night boating spotlight that draws a combined total under 80 amps at 12v
Thanks for for the suggestions
