Anyone ever use the "Bat-lights" boat headlights

[minner]

Found some from Hiwassee Marine on Ebay, and looked like a pretty good.

They kinda look like the boat headlights from T&H marine except they aren't permanent mount.

I bought a set from Bat-Lite. There OK but you have alot of glare feedback from the bow. Then you have to set them while you are moving and lock them in place. You must also make sure you place them on the pole the exact way you locked the lights in place. The idea was good the result is just OK.emoScratch

Would you do it again or go for some lights like the ones from T&H Marine.

This is the set up I have. No drilling into the rub rail. Work like a charm.

I like Davo's setup better than mine. No drilling is the way to go. The only problem is if you trailer alot. You better pad the areas when the boat cover may rub for a period of time.emoApplause emoApplause

I like it Davo. Do you have any idea how many watts those lights are? There from T&H Marine right?

Reackon where I could get a piece of aluminum like that?

Send Hal a PM. He used to do metal fab.... he'd know. He's done enough engineering on his boat to make it a ship.... aluminum.

I think their 55W. But they could be higher. I got one of those on my boat. I mounted mine to the trolling motor. It's bright enough to run with just one.....but thats just my opinion.

great set up but they play havoc when docking,I have the remote control go-light set up on mine and i can take it on and off when i need to it rotates and the remote is back at the console so i can move it to look at the bank when i'm running or at idle ,PM me and will send you some pics if interested,Taylor

I don't know the wattage, I'd say 55v. They do get bumped some when at a dock, but have a rubber housing that flexes.

Call Tom (BumbleBeeKid) at Fish N Fun. He did 'em for me.
