LED Flood Lights

[Russell A. Jost]

ADVERTISE HERE

JIm, can you tell me the lumen output of the LED's. I would like to compare the light levels to the flood lights I currently have and will they be available in both 120 volt AC and 12 volt DC.

Hi Russell, its funny, we started out development talking nothing but Lumens, but as time went on everybody wants to know how they compare in Watts. So I had to call my partner to remember what the Lumen output is . The lumen output is approx 800 per light. The brightness as comparing in watts is about 50. The extremely "White" light as put out by these LED's is a whole different kind of bright though. Things appear very clearly I have found in this light.

Hunter. Right now you can have as many as you want, they are about $3,000 per prototype How many do you want?

When we start selling them to they'll be about $100. In December we will start taking pre-orders in the 70'ish range just to get a handle on demand.

how about different colors Jim? just white for now or are you looking at doing some colored LED's too?

[yachtjim]

Hi Bryan, we're trying to find an easy way to create interchangeable lenses to put over the light. So if you wanted red you could use a red lens. I am not sure how popular colors will be for this use though. What does everybody think? Would you use a colored flood light?

I must admit the red would be nice for drifting the rips.

I'm very interested in these and at an intro price of around $100 or less for pre orders I'd be very interested. I currently run 5 spreader lights when I go offshore, but my 2kw gen and batteries have a tough time keeping up. I'm going to way bigger batteries, but LED's would be a nice touch. I found a company with led's out now but they were almost $300 a light and I couldn't justify spending that for them. At $100 a light I can deal with that. I have been running just 3 lights to manage my power supply and only putting the othet two on when fish are hooked...only problem is when the bites really good... How much do these lights draw in amps roughly? I currently have 55watt halogen 4x6 spreader lights that draw 4.6amps per light. If they are around 3amps each or less they would be perfect for me.

As Giant Fan states"Good God man.... I can feel the money coming out of my wallet already "

yachtjim..in answer to your request for support, If the production models prove as bright as the prototypes, I am definitely interested in them at the pricing levels you are looking to launch with. LED's are great, but the prices have been way to high. They need competition...good luck.

Let us know when you launch the line.

These lights are less than an amp each. i think its around .7 amp each. I'll need to double check that with the engineer so it might be .1 amp one way or the other.

these seem like a good move-"good move" for what you're trying to do...attempting to run 5 12v spreader lites from 12v batteries and expecting the battery charger to keep up with them isn't really the best approach ...these leds will draw very little power.i'm surprised you set your boat up like that,those spreader lites will knock the battery bank down pretty quick...
getting yourself these leds would really drop the load on the 12v system...
dumb question...does your grady have a seperate and dedicated 12v system ???

These lights are exactly what I have been looking for! Please keep us updated on the pre-orders. Can't wait!
