Post Lights
I'm getting into bowfishing and love it, I was wondering were I could get good but cheap lights for my boat. My budget is about $75 so don't have a lot to work with. Some of my friends are just using the $15 yellow worklights from Wal-Mart or Home Depot. I also have a 2000 watt generator. Have a bigger one but is way louder and to big for what I want. Thanks, Blair

Those shop lights work ok. Only problem is that you can't run too many with that 200 generator. It should be ok with 3-4 on the front of your boat.

Change out the bulbs to the 250 or 300 watt bulbs to run more of them

Best bet is the cheap halos from econolight.

I run the 300's seen here http://www.e-conolight.com/floods/small ... q301z.html been running the shit out of em for a couple years with no issues. They're too simple to give problems.

Considering your generator size, like DDM said may be more happy with more lights of 150 for more area coverage as seen here http://www.e-conolight.com/floods/small ... q151z.html


(6) - 300's or (12) - 150's within your budget, pick your poison and run with it.

they're a little out of your price range, but I just used the 50w Seelites the other night for the first time and I was impressed. I've never shot over HPS or MH, but I've seen a halo setup and the Seelites were just as good or better
