 LEDs wiriring?
Just finishing up my new light rail for bowfishing im running 10 27wleds and will be running them of a deep cycle, I have all the lights wired together and fused. I am wondering if u guys a running your leads wires direct to the batter or doing some sort of plug in or toggle switch.. Would wiring it up to like a similar plug for a trolling motor work, That way I can just plug it in?? Just curious as to what other are doing. Thanks

I have 6 50w LEDs and ran each light to a fuse block then ran my 8 gage positive and negative wires to the battery.

 Re: LEDs wiriring?
I have 10 40w led lights and just have them wired to a trolling motor plug on the front deck. There is no switch, just plug it in and your ready to shoot!!!!!!!!

 Re: LEDs wiriring?
I ended up hooking mine up to a separate deep cycle up front, Made it plug in like a trolling motor would, I guess will c how long the lights run. Its a size 27 so hopefully it last a few hours

 Re: LEDs wiriring?
yea im just curious of the run life. i cant remember where i read this, but it was for 80w lights, and i believe it said on a 12v system you could get 5-6 hr of run time and on a 24v system you could get 8-10

 Re: LEDs wiriring?
We typically shoot for 4-6 hours a night so if it last that long I'll be happy. When we shoot a tournament I'll probably throw extra battery in
