The mailman brought my light bar today. 41.5" 29,000 lumens

Going on the duck boat along with some red Led strips on the inside of the boat.

That's more light than you can ever possibly need


Have white strips on the inside of boat, works well. Red should do well too. Awesome being able to hit a switch and see everything in the floor of boat

I got a 12" and 6,000 lumens and I think it will work great.

I'll throw up some pics after I get this housing made.

What will this require as far as batteries go?

Running motor, 36w 12 LED spotlight, bilge pump, nav lights, led strips along inside sides of boat, and sometimes another spotlight plugged into 12v outlet all on one deep cycle battery.

Will soon also be running 10 27w LED flood lights for bowfishing on a second 12v deep cycle.

Eventually maybe a trolling motor as well on the second battery, but never at same time as bowfishing lights.

Not livewell, just storage hatches. The led strips just continue into the compartments along that rib. It's 4 strips that come together in middle compartment/bench and wire into the switch panel by the grab bar. So they light up the inside of the under deck and middle bench storage when you turn it on.

Are your rope lights 12v Or do you use a converter?

Not rope lights, led strip with adhesive backing. 12v. You can cut to length and solder.
