Last year I rigged a couple of 150W halogen fog lites on lightweight stamped steel- the stuff they sell at home depot with all the holes in it. Ran them off of a 12 v battery... The ran all nite on a charge and it was easy to lower them as the tide went out.
I used one piece of 4' stamped steel and bent it into an "L" with the foot being only about 6" and took a 2nd piece and bolted it to the foot mounting the lites on either end of it. Ran the wire that came with the fog lites up the frame and put clips on the ends to make it easy to attatch to the battery terminals. tied a piece of cord to the top of the frame to make it easy to adjust the height above the water of the lites themselves. It was brighter than a coleman, quieter and lighter than a generator; but alas, not as BRIGHT.
