bowfishing lights?

What watt and lumens do you run on your rig? Is 3 1500 lumen LED lights enough?

Imo 3 fixtures of ANY LUMENS is not enough. You need a lot of lights, because the more lights you have the less shadows and dark spots you have. It's like putting one lightbulb in your garage versus a bunch of bulbs spread out. You get a more even distribution of light with more lights.

How many then? What do you use?

I only have 2 30” lights bars on the front of my boat currently. And they work fantastic. I run them multiple nights off a single deep cycle battery

I know some people like their lights to wrap around the sides a little more than my setup. The problem I have had with LEDs is the glare, the warmer the color you go with, the better off you will be. 6K lights bars have a bit of shine to them... just my personal experience

I run 12 100w satellites. That about 6 to many in my opinion

This is what I'm trying to accomplish. Not having a loud generator.
I was told to use lower lumen LED's so it would not clare as bad?

Night crew have any advice?

Get yellow lens or put yellow lens tape over them. It helps alot

I run 6 500 watt LPS fixtures. Eventually I need to change mine to digital ballast. I need to reduce weight in the front of my boat bad. My gripe with led is the color you need a natural orangish yellow light to work the best.

I had 10 maybe 6" square 48 watt 12 volt leds on my boat for a while worked pretty good ran them up to about 4 hours on 2 batteries never ran out of juice.got them off ebay for like 150$ for all 10.
As long as you don't go on a boat with some real lights you'll be happy LOL !
