[QUOTE="ShadowWalker, post: 137907, member: 632"] I'm using 150 watt High Pressure sodium fixtures. [url]https://www.e-conolight.com/floods/small/small-hid/e-hc1h151z.html[/url] They have 1/2" NPT on the bottom. What we did was bolt down some closet flanges to the deck, then used a short nipple to raise them above the rail. We ran the power cables through a 1/2" tee into the light fixture, so the cable comes out the side of the tee. This way we can remove them and have just the flange on the deck. Doesn't get in the way too much, but then again all we do out of my boat is bowfish. If you're going to use halogen work lights, I'd be looking for a generator with 3000+ watts Peak. You figure those shop lights are 500 watts, you don't want to be running the generator at max load all the time. In the picture I attached you can see the flange set up on the two closest fixtures. The set up with the shop lights was temporary and not the best. I just got the two other HPS lamps last night and am soldering them up today. [/QUOTE]
