Was wondering any of you install headlights or spotlights in your boats to help light the way when it is dark? If so, what are the suggested options? Thanks!

This has already been discussed.

In short headlights or spotlights are useless as there is not anything for them to be reflected off of. They are good for marking up channel markers, like the Warneet or Hastings channels at night.

I put them in my hull when i built my boat.

They were abt 150 each plus the wiring.

There absolutely fantastic...one off the best things i put in my boat.

Ive used them for prawning ,navigatng at night around trees when im cod or barra fishing,loading the boat at night ect

Fantastic option.

How far can you see in thw dark

Its not a massive distance....say 40 to 50 meters straight in front and 20 meters to the sides.
