Not sure if that will work. AC and DC are two different characters. One alternates cycles and the other is a straight flow of electons.
Try using a 12DC Spot light instead of the flood and see if that does not reduce the glare in your eyes. The spot should concentrate the light away from the light holder and not in your face. Of course you will need to point the spot out into the water ahead of or to the side or back of the boat depending on where you are fishing.
Cane Pole might be able to answer this question better than I as he is the true electronics wizzard. He teaches electronics the trade school near Paris, TN. Heck Cane Pole might even invent a robot to hold your spot light on the fish automatically. I hear he is really good with robots like R2D2 and 3PO.
If he is not too tired from hauling in all those big KY Lake slabs that are spawning in his back yard on West Sandy. LOL
Sideline: Last night well this is already morning so it was the night before last. LOL I am pulling another all nighter maybe. Anyway the State DNR guys had the electro shocking boat out at Blue Grass Fish and Wildlife Recreation Area on Blue grass Pit duing their population study. Dan was using 12 volt lights and a battery system. He also used a 110volt AC generator but that was for the shocking equipment. Guess DC does not work well for shocking the fish in the water even when the water's conductivity is over 1300 micro mhos.
Hope this helps if not Cane Pole will shout in here tomorrow when he gets off work.
