I have 2 55w 10 led flood lights that is use when going up river. I prefer the brightness of the floods as I don't get to haul butt up river. We sell these at my work for $100 each. But I've seen them cheaper.

Do you hold these or are they mounted? How much battery do they use? Or, rather, how long will a full charged battery last?
This is what we need on our little 14' flat bottom, for traveling up river on the Sabine.
Thanks!

I mounted them to the aluminum strap so I can clamp them anywhere on my boat.
As far as draw, I don't know yet. I've left them on all night and never noticed a dent in battery power. I'll try and get a multi meter on them.

I've been planning on using these to do some Bowfishing.

The ones you posted, or HID conversion like mine? I've been really happy with mine. Once we get to our hunting spots I turn off the spot beams and leave the 2 floods on and then either spin the boat around or just swing the lights around to light up where we are setting decoys. I also spin my lights around when backing my boat down the ramp. Really helps me to see what I'm doing.

I electrified my boat between Christmas and New Years and installed a 35W front LED, a 15W rear LED, and LED Daytime running lights on the inside and outside.. The DRL are easy because they're waterproof and self adhesive.. I put 6 on the inside (3 per side) and 1 on the outside on each side of the boat to see what I'm catching at night, or to pull up to a dock.
The 35W front makes for daylight when you flip it on at night and the rear is amazing, too... All were cheap on eBay..
I'm powering everything through an Overtons control panel mounted to a project box.
And I even added a couple DRL's to the post on my trailer to aid loading at night..
The LED stuff is bright white light, and draws very little.. A pair of the DRL's on eBay are about $3.50 and work great!!

They work so well I'm mounting them inside my saddlebags on my motorcycles, too..

Paper, can you provide a link to the lights you used on the inside of your boat? They appear to be the Atwood 4 LED lights, but I'm not sure and I'm wanting to do the same to my boat.

I added LED lights to the inside of my boat to see what I was doing inside. Hadn't thought about the outside.
Mine do many different colors. Should help a bunch. I've got a green LED light under my dash that comes on with the ignition. I've got three more I've been thinking about putting on the back as a fishing light.

First and last are "white"
I used these LED's for my interior lighting. Went with red. Work really nice and are only $2 a piece.

Might be a little hard to tell from the picture, but this is why I went with red for my interior lights. All of the bugs in the below pictures are attracting to and swirling around my green nav light. Not a single one was interested in the port side red nav lights. Don't have a good picture of mine installed on my boat though.
