[quote name='Tim Flanagan' post='9765' date='Jan 8 2008, 04:11 PM']I thought so too, but LED lamps of sufficient power are just too expensive. Maybe in a few years.
For now, it seems like halogen, xenon, or some sort of flourescent tube are still the best choices. If they work! :-)[/quote]
Hi Tim,
A lot of the people squid fishing off of the piers have been using the 12v fluorescent light tubes. They seem to work fairly well from what I have seen. They use very little power, so it should be power friendly to hook up a few of them. Or, you could get a small 400w (or smaller) power inverter, and use a larger 4' 120v fluorescent light fixture (shop light).
