Lights for running at night

[TightlineT]

Any advice out there for what type of light to run for a headlight at night? Thanks in advance for any info......Jim

All kinds on the market, just don't run with them on all the time. Not like a car it blinds the other boaters

I use a Bluewater LED that mounted to my trolling motor. It does a good job, but the handheld spot light was a little better because you can sweep the area in front of you. With the bow mounted spot lights you only see the area directly in front of you, takes a little getting used to.

I use a steering column trim switch for the light, it is an intermittent on switch and allows me to use it without taking my hands off of the steering wheel.

TH MARINE LANE BLASTER WORKS PRETTY GOOD ON MY BOAT.

this looks like the one i got but this one is priced much higher. i got mine for like $7. i would look around on the site and see what you can find. no need to pay big $ for a name, its a light. i just run one but its plenty bright enough and i run the lake quite a bit a night

I use a rechargeable handheld light. I shine it periodically to locate a bouy or just to check for debris on the surface. It’s more than bright enough and it was only about $30

I have a spotlight mounted on my trolling motor base, but rarely use it since it only shows directly in front of me and doesn't help when turning. I use a small, waterproof handheld light that is rechargeable and super bright. I also used to have a headlight bar mounted under the trolling motor but some tool bashed into it at the dock, lol.

I have a 4" led offload floodlight mounted to my Lowrance unit up front on a big ram mount. I can aim it anywhere I want and was easy to install. $12

I owned a Stanley Fat Max brand that worked great but it was in my truck when it got stolen. I have a Cyclops brand now and really like it also. You can find the Stanley model at Lowe’s and WalMart. I’ve seen the Cyclops at either Bass Pro or Cabelas I can’t remember.
