 4in LED lights
Like many, i do not have the funds to just dump into RI leds, so i went the next route....ebay!
After doing tons of research on leds, how they work, etc. I ended up ordering from a US supplier, so i didnt have to wait as long to get them. (three days to my door)
My review on them would be they are well worth the money for what you get. I ordered 2 spots and 2 floods. The floods are decent but i believe the spots are where its at for these. I would have liked the floods to throw a wider, shorter beam but instead its about the same as the spots with out the focused distance. Though i can still see good width wise, i was looking for a lil bit more.
This is not the end of my LED journey, im currently in the process of making my own light bar from scratch. (different topic will be posted when ready) However i do plan on taking the two floods apart and doing some tweaking to them to achieve what i want with this set-up. Enough talk, here are some half-ass night shots. Note they are aiming a little up because i just have them sitting there because i need to make a mount still.
Light set-up
No lights on
Lights on
Another lights on showing the color of the light beam a little better
So what yall think?

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light
Do you have purchase info: Where and how much? Starting to work on plans for bowfishing light setup. As much as I like my RI LEDS I am not about to pay that much for more than a dozen lights.

How long you figure can they be on continuously with a stand alone battery?

 Re: 4in LED lights
If the whole set-up is drawing 9 amps. I run a blue top Optima so 55AH.
55AH/9amps = 6.1 hours rounded?
if that is wrong someone please correct me.

 Re: 4in LED lights
That's the same lights Customfitz sells. E is a US dealer. I bought lights from him last year for bowfishing. Customfitzled.com.
