I got two, 300,000 candle power spot lights that plug into 12V adapters, one adapter in the cockpit and another adapter just inside the cabin. These are older lights that see very little use and I guess they are not what you want. I find using these lights from behind the wheel almost impossible due to glare unless looking to one side or the other of the boat and not over the cabin top. For either of them to be of much use to me looking forward from behind the wheel someone needs to be holding them a few feet above deck level to reduce glare and then they almost seem strong enough to burn a hole right through the fog. I once investigated a fire in a police vehicle that was caused by laying a similar such light, lens down and momentarily unattended on the passenger seat while the light was still on.they do get very hot, that's for sure, and that is something worth remembering. After the fire we used non destructive industrial radiography to observe that the metallic components of light switch were in the "on" position because the plastic shell of the light was melted and burned so badly that the switch position was not obvious from external observation.

I like that it's battery or corded. Haven't found a review that talks specifically about glare with the Waypoint. I think the Waypoint uses a Cree LED. The Cree LED's seem to get good reviews. What's your opinion on glare from the Waypoint? Dennis C.

A recent PS arrangement ranked them at or near the top. Mine is not rechargeable; but I use 4 C cell, rechargeable batteries in it. I think it's good for 5 to 6 hours. It has a hi, lo, and flashing settings, and it comes with a mounting bracket and 12V adapter. It's a bit pricey, but far, far superior to the WM lite it replaced. Fair Winds, Pete W.

Been thinking about a new one. REQUIREMENT: 12 VDC plug in. NOT rechargeable. Probably LED. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
