Default Docking Lights

Has anyone got these docking lights? Or know someone that does?

Attwood LED Docking Lights

Interested to know how the light output , construction , longevity of LEDs , etc is.

Thanks for any input

    How are they holding up Mikey?

    Looks like you set em back from center bow line maybe , 12-16 inches?

    I'm thinking of using them to hide a small ding I have in that vicinity. I couldn't bring myself to cut those damn huge holes for the Barnget QL-32s.

    I 'think' i've had them for 4-5 yrs now and they've never given me a problem. I did mount them back a bit cuz there is enough light spread to overlap in the middle where they are mounted. I suspect the LED's will last a lot longer than i need them to given that i really only use them about 5-6 times a year when docking at nite.

    I need to replace mine and have been waiting to research more and possibly installing LED's. My other issue or hesitancy is I know the old plastic light housings are going to break. I like night fishing for stripers. Your new lights look great to me!
