According to my state laws, I need to have a white stern light which must be visible for 2 miles.
The red/green sidelights must be visible for 1 mile.
I have a 14' Jonboat. I have one battery in the boat which controls my trolling motor. I am trying not to do a couple of things here. 1) I don't really want to add another battery at this time (a lot of cost), 2) I don't want to hook these lights up to my existing battery and have it take up a lot of power which the trolling motor would use.
So, my question is this. I have seen LED battery operated lights which cover the colors needed per state laws. Can the battery operated lights put out enough light to be seen from 1-2 miles away? are there any lights that work just as well as a 12v power source would?
Does anyone run off of battery powered navigational lights that can provide assistance?
