Earlier this year I changed out my old perko combo steaming/foredeck light for a marinebeam combo. The marinebeam LED is awesome, the old light really didn’t illuminate the foredeck at all (it was 39 years old) and the new light is so bright it throws shadows. the only problem I have is the new light is so well focused that it doesn’t light the back half of the boat at all so now I’m trying to decide between spreader lights or a small LED fixture to light the floor of the cockpit. I don’t won’t anything too bright so I’m almost convinced that I will install a small dimmable LED fixture in the cockpit to light the floor. James Delaney C&C 38 Mk11 Oriental, NC

With foredeck light I don't see need for spreader lights. Dennis C.

The bow light for motoring at night, and the deck light taking the place of actual spreader lights. I they're not LED, but I rarely use either of them when not motoring or powered up in a moorage. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR This has been bothering me all summer, there are wires hanging out of my mast just under the spreaders (first set) it's obvious that someone has removed the original spreader lights. I've been looking online at the multitude of LED spreader lights available, and am wondering just how useful they are, especially when they are so incredibly bright. What do you have? Do you use them? Are they only used when at the slip? Would a spotlight or two be more useful up there? I think I saw a red/white combo light somewhere, would that be a better choice?
