[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 246565, member: 6937"] Overall, I'm pleased with these lights. The only issue I had was with the massive current draw from the halogen bulbs that were supplied with the lights. I read some threads on the net saying not to change to LED's because they weren't bright enough....well, that might be the case with regular LED's, but not with these super bright LED's I bought. Be forewarned, though, they are proud of them, at about 35 dollars per bulb, but it says the average life of one of these LED's is about 20,000 hours. And from what I've seen just from running them in the driveway, they will be plenty bright for my purposes. Got them from a website called 'superbrightleds.com' It's also where I got my LED festoon bulbs for my nav lights. Like I said, they should make a nice supplement to my deck-mount gigging lights. And unlike deck-mount lights, nothing to trip over, hit on the dock, or bust a lens. At one time, I even thought about the Perko underwater lights for gigging, but to begin with, they cost too much! That, and once they're mounted into the hull, you cannot adjust the angle of the light, like you can with deck-mounted gigging lights. So, I'll stick with my conventional deck lights for gigging.
