Anyone know of any similar light that would run on 36v?

Would like to mount a pair for night trips into my trolling motor plug to eliminate having to run additional wiring.

I used them all over at work. From forklift, boats, excavator to cranes.

Thanks hog, description is a little confusing listing 9-36v and then 12 or 24 volt so shot them an email to confirm it will work on 36volt system.

I take it from this that these things are pretty bright?

Yes, they have spot lens on top and flood lens on the bottom. To give you a nice spread of light with one unit.

I buy my stuff from this guy.

He's cheap and his product holds up great!

Have two pods mounted on the front of the zuke...true floods. Bought them to test his product as they were the cheapest. Good stuff. They will be going to the rear bumper as reverse lights when I order the larger pods to replace my headlights.

Get a spot flood combo...not a true flood.

As for how bright...

High beams..


Vs

Two four LED pods


Keep in mind...this is up close only. Floods have zero THROW

mine will. Thanks for the feedback guys. I run a 24 v trolling motor so I will just throw a trolling motor plug on this one and plug it in there.

Correct it is technically illegal to run with docking/head lights while motoring down the canal or in open water. That said i have seen many large CC boats with LED light bars mounted on the T-Top for running at night.

Really???

I guess this is due to an approaching boat not able to descern running lights from the glare of the head light?

Illegal or not I will feel alot more comfortable with a head light when running at night with all the unlit piers and obstructions out there it makes me nervous every time I go.
