[QUOTE="DearJon, post: 272522, member: 9078"] When I first got the boat, it was rigged up for flounder gigging. It had flood lights on the bow that were in the way. I removed everything from the bow, including the navigation lights, so I'd have a clean space to mount my trolling motor. Well, I never got around to putting any lights back on it until now. I wanted to replace all the old incandescent lighting with newer, brighter L.E.D.'s. When you are running off of a 12 volt system, amp draw is definitely a concern. I got these lights from Ozonium.com. They are super bright, draw 1/10th the amperage of a standard 906 bulb, and don't get hot. The website says they are water proof, but I sealed them with clear silicone just in case. Everything was wired to a three-way switch on the console, and I put an in-line fuse next to the battery. Can't be too careful. [/QUOTE]
