LED light bars for boats
Submitted by Iceman on Fri, 2016-01-29 13:17
We are looking to fit LED bar lights to our rescue vessels and wondering if anyone else has done this and how they go with the exposure to salt water.
Also any recommendations as to which ones to use

Narva/Hella
Been using mainly Narvas and Hellas on our boat back in wickham and are looking at the same on the upgrade. Personally i have a STEDI on my tinny but havnt had it long enough to make a recomendation for the brand. Great Whites and Rigids are top of the wozza in the 4wd market. I'll check on the rig at the new group i've just joined as she's been in service for a few years.

i have got 3 x 30" (120 watt) bars facing fwd on my barcrusher, and 3 x 60 watt square worklights over the deck.
The ones over the rear deck are amazing and couldnt imagine life without decent lighting over the aft. As for the lights mounted on the roof facing the bow, if there is a decent moon out, i tend to run without them, but cloud cover or no moon they work well. If i were to do it again thou, i would look at some form of spotlight to get the distance thou.
The salt water has given the enclosures a bit of a hammering, but the company have sent me replacement parts as they had defects in the paint for the batch i got.
