Under gunnel lighting

engulfed · 06-20-2009, 04:55 PM

Hi All,
I am thinking of installing some under gunnel lighting for my HB Waterman . I don't know what lighting to use ( I am assuming LED in red for preservation of nite vision). Any suggustions would be welcome.

Thanks Crew

I have red under the gunnels in my waterman, also in all my hatches. Works out pretty good.

hey, I didn't get lighting in my hatches... what gives? I don't fish at night so my under gunnel lights have only been on a couple times while at the ramp early morning.

funny, I don't recall ever discussing options with Tom. Seems to me he would do whatever someone asked for, even put an IPOD stereo system in an Ambush.

Hi All,
I guess I didn't make my question all that clear. I already know from personal experience that red is the right color that helps w/ nite sight preservation.

My question is what brand/type of LED light system is most frequently installed by the professionals on these small skiffs

Info I also need is total watts, total draw , all tech infoetc.

thanks,

Engulfed
