I've got a remote controll go-light spotlight right now that works pretty good. I duck hunt the MS River alot and would like some more light. Im looking to mount a LED light bar on the top of the grab bar of my center console. This will be above the windshield. The bar is 19" long going across the top of windshield.

What light bar do I need to get? Or do I need to get two of the 2x2 LED's? I want something that is goin to put out some pretty bright light so I can dodge anything that needs dodg'in. Any opinions or experiences would be appreciated....

try this thread - good discusion on subject and no sword fights broke out

I would be concerned about it putting too much light IN the boat.

Buddy of mine runs cheap chinese light bar off ebay his is 52in. a little over kill but its like daytime on the river lol, i was thinking about doing a 24 inch they put out about 18 to 20,000 lumens which would be about right

I got a couple 7 inch floods and they're nice. Guy I work with brings various sizes to work so he can ship them out on his lunch break. I always hook them up to an inverter and see how bright they are before he ships. The 20s and 33s put out plenty for what your asking about. But like owen said, youll get a LOT of reflection putting it on the console instead of at the front.

agree with the guys about too much light IN the boat. light bars are awesome but i'd try to keep it as far forward as possible.

i stand corrected i was wrong its 12,000 lol but for the price they are very good

My 21.5" bar puts out 10,200 and it's a single row 10 watt led.
My 50" puts out 18,000 it's a double row but some of these new quad rows could be putting out that much. Just wanted to take a look at them

Have you seen the bars with 5 watt led bulbs?

I have seen some single rows that are 5 watts

Was looking at some double row 5 watts the other day .

Thanks you guys for the advice

I would recommend putting a light bar all the way forward. Save up your money and get a ridged light bar. You won't be disappointed one bit. I had a cheaper light bar and there is no comparison. Ridged is the way to go.

I have two of the 8" from southern that I picked up from the sportsman show. I love them. Each bar has two flood and two beam. It lights up everything I could hope to want to see.
