Here is my cheap light setup. I have about $210 (including lights) and about 3 hrs of time invested. It was built to be light, no drilling in my hull, and easy on/off. It basically loops over the bow and one strap on each grab bar on the deck to secure it. Yellow tint is on order. |

Not trying to dog on your setup but speaking from experience the coverage isn't there. There is gonna be a lot of dark spots and then the tint will dim the lights some |

I agree. We typically only fish small creeks and use to use qbeams so this is a step forward lol. We only do it once or twice a year so it not that important. |

Lol that how I started. One guy holds the light and the other shoots. If you miss twice in a row, give it up. |

It depends on your water clarity. Of you shoot green water, tint them. If you shoot clear or black water don't. I prefer the tint because I shoot green water. It is not as bright but it penetrates way more. I have a pretty detailed thread about the difference. I think it's called the truth about LEDs |

Good looking setup and very easy to take on and off. Definitely better than holding a qbeam and you can always cut the pipe and add some more tees with more lights in the future. Good job. |
