LED light bar for Duck Boat
Posted on 8/19/14 at 8:52 am
Posted on 8/19/14 at 8:52 am
I'm looking for a 30" light bar for the front of my duck boat. I want something bright so I can see running in the marsh and flooded timber.
But, I don't want something that will break the bank....
Any suggestions?

I'm leaning toward a Moonshinexxx for my boat.

I was looking at like two six inch led's with double rows of lights. One row is a flood and another is a forward spotlight.
My thinking is that way you can slightly angle them to get a wider field of view?
Or does the 30" do all that with 1 connection?

You can buy the combo lights with floods on the corners and spot in the middle.

Most bars I have looked at had floods on the end LEDs and spots on the rest.

Get a combo flood/spot. 30" is pretty extreme, 20-24 should be plenty. Rivnut it in there and put it on a 2-way waterproof toggle switch.

Anyone have any links to what they have?

DDM has some cheaper good ones. Baja Designs is supposed to have the best expensive ones

You can get LED strip lights and a power supply and programming block to control the strip on the cheap.
Some are as easy as peel and stick. And you can make it as long or as short.
You could even caulk the backside of them to the boat.
I think they are waterproof to start.
I think there's even a way to make a small solar array with a battery bank to store charge in the day for the light at night.

I don't think those taco lights would work for spotlights.

figure out what you want and then source them from china. that is what most of these companies are doing anyway

We uses led light at work that have both spot and flooded led lights for the excavators at night. We used a 30" led bar on one of the Excavator and it split in half because it only had two mounting point.
This is the one we buy.
6" Led Spot and Flood light from Ebay.com
And this one too.
14" LED LIGHT

That's what I have been looking at. Amazon Cree Light bars
I've been thinking about using the 6LEDs on the sides, and maybe a 12 on the direct front.

From what little research I have done, the specs for the Cree light bars match the specs for the Ridgid Industries light bars, but at a fraction of the cost.

I bought a 10' Rigid, used. I have it mounted and it works great. Mine is the Hybrid/Flood combo.
