Inexpensive LED bow headlights?

[Blake]

Are there any LED flood/spots that I can mount to the bow of a jon that are decent quality? I really don't feel like dropping 100 plus. I don't need to light up the world, just need to be able to see stumps out ahead of me.

This light peaked my interest a while back but never got around to picking one up. Seems like it would be plenty bright to do what you need. Price seems pretty fair too.

That's decent price. I looked at one for $79.00,1850 lumens, but has to be wired. I like that this is portable.

Haven't looked for anything, myself, so can't offer a review.

There was a build in the Jon / V Boat build section and he had these lights mounted:

Sunshine I got the same one, even if I have to replace I every couple of years I don't care. I like the brightness of it.

Like many, I know the concept of lumens is the newest way to rate light output, but I still have a hard time trying to get a handle on it. So maybe this on-line chart I just found might be of some use ...

Old Watts Approx Lumens

25 W_____ 230 - 270 lamp

35 W_____ 250 - 280 spotlight
_________ 200-300 useful lumens (spotlight)
_________ 390 - 410 lamp

40 W_____ 440 - 460 lamp

50 W_____ 330 - 400 spotlight
_________ 350-450 Useful Lumens (spotlight)

60 W_____ 800 - 850 lamp

75 W_____ 1000-1100 lamp

100W_____ 1500-1600 lamp

I bought the Attwood, and I too have a jon boat. It lights up where I need to see, and I mounted it on the front/right side of the boat. I also bought the Attwood Nav lights, which are fantastic. The only issue is trying to make sure your friends/sons don't kick the base plate off the boat when they get in/out. I've gone through 4 base plates already, and 2 lights. Seems to me they should float, but no luck on that aspect...
