prawning lights
Submitted by fisho-ron on Sun, 2011-01-30 10:38
i want to get some better lights set up for prawning this year,
so does anyone have some good ways to rig up some prawning lights that are removable, led underwater prefered.
i have seen makos on the back of his boat, but i dont want to permatly mount. and they were exspensive.
last year i was using a genny and 2 100watt floodlights, apparantly it is better to have submerged lights for prawning
also the lights got in the way sometimes.
any ideas and pics would be great.
thanks ron

you can get 12volt
you can get 12volt weighted pond lights 6x on each line and they swivel 120degrees, only draw 4.5watts.
i was thinking about running two sets (12 lights) on a pvc pipe setup, like a light bar acros the rear of the boat under water.
just not shore on how much light they produce?
does anybody know?
