I have some difficulty relating lumen to candela.are these lights focused so that all 800 lm are directed.the correlation is usually stated by 1 candela = 12.57 lumen but with this calculator: http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/light/candela-to-lumen-calculator.htm 300000=64228 lumens at an apex angle of 30 degrees so What does 800 lumens actually look light, bright for distance I mean? _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marek Dziedzic Sent: March 13, 2014 10:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List Waypoint handheld spot lite This is what I use, as well. But I did not buy these lights specifically for sailing; rather, I use them extensively when XC biking at night. You can get some very bright lights that can be used as headlight or mounted for under $50. I have one that claims 800 lm; from my experience it is more like 500, but still quite bright. Look for Cree-T6 headlight. Amazon has a bunch of them; some claiming 1200 or even 1800 lm. They are quite bright, but they run hot.

I forget the brand but it holds a charge for well over a month. It is great for spotlighting markers or buoys, but you must never light up the deck. Instead we buy the camper's or biker's LED headlamp and that works almost as well. I think I have 5 on the boat and have given another 5 away as gifts to other boaters. Once you have one, you'll see how useful they can be. I also have battery powered LED Puck lights in at least 8 locations on my boat, and they last a season on 2 AA batteries each. I buy them from Harbor Freight or WalMart. Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Atlantic City, NJ
