Spreader Lights
i needed to replace my old not working 55w/ea stainless spreader lights. I wanted LEDs but did not want to pay the 150-200 or more at least the ones designated "spreader lights". One day while trolling a local marine store I spotted some underwater LED lights that claimed to be 600lumens for $30 ea, I figured why not. Lets hope they last. They only draw .2 ah/ea, I finally got them wired in and working. Whatcha you think? Got $60 invested

Wow, very nice. Do you have a make/model for those lights, I'd like to give it a go when I get to refurbishing my mast.

Re: Spreader Lights
I say you did good! That is a lot of light for 0.2 amps and $60

Re: Spreader Lights
That's .25 or so each, so 1/2 amp total....much better than no lights and the 2 55w units they replaced. They shed enough light to make things quite a bit safer on deck at night.Surveyor wrote:I say you did good! That is a lot of light for 0.2 amps and $60
