[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 231524, member: 6937"] As far as LED's....I tried one for my center light, and it was a waste of money. Doesn't put out nearly the amount of light that the other 2 put off. Initially, I thought I was going to run all 3 lights as LED's, which would conserve battery power, as we're not allowed to use generators for flounder gigging. (I actually wrote the legislative proposal for that law to be passed in SC, along with bringing the limit on flounder down from 20 per person, to 10 per person....as commercial giggers with high intensity lights and generators were lighting up the whole inlet at night, with noisy generators running, and what's worse, they were raping the resources, leaving nothing for the hook and line fishermen. Honestly, some nights, there would be as many as 25 boats, and we're talking about a body of water that's only 4 miles long and 1/2 mile wide, with only one inlet going into it. I pissed a lot of people off with that law, but a lot of the local hook and line fishermen were very glad to see it passed.) Anyhow, after testing the LED setup, I'm changing that center light back to a 55 watt incandescent like the other 2. Which is OK with me, as I rarely go out for more than 3-4 hours, and I can run that long off just one battery. [/QUOTE]
