    Default Anyone use LED flood lights to illuminate interior of boat?


    If so, what wattage? Is 18 watts enough for an old man to tie 4# line? I've always used a clamp light with a 25 watt/12 volt incandescent bulb, but it's time to upgrade.

    If i remember correctly a 10 watt led is equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent, you should be plenty good.

    Default led lights

    I replaced all the interior lights in my boat with led bulbs get the cool white or bright white they are brighter than the soft white is. For tie on hooks n jigs at night I bought a small UV flash light I keep in boat makes 4 lb. look like 30 lb. We even made a UV light to put on side of boat to fish with it has white light in the center with a remote to turn the white ones on n off works great and keeps a lot of bugs away to.

    Are the uv lights good for interior of the boat? Do they keep the bugs away?

    They don't keep bugs away but they don't attract as many as white lights will as for inside the boat don't think they would do much not unless everything in boat was florescent colors lol. I stay with white in boat but have them on as little as I need to.

    So, if you are using the UV light, I assume to see your fishing line, and then turn on the white lights, does your line still glow or does the white light override the Uv?

    We only use the white lights when needed. Like for moving around, to see the bank, or net a good fish rest of he time the white ones are off.
