I don't really know. If I ever shoot over 400s then I could comment. But the 150s I shot over did all I wanted.

Is there a thing as too bright? Is there a point that your eyes start melting out of there eye sockets? I hooked up 1 of my 10 50 watt LED and it was very bright. I use to go out at night by my self and use just one 500 Halogen and seen lots.

 

[NuffDaddy]

I've heard some people that have had 400s complain about glare. But like I said never been over one so I don't really know. But the 150s put out a ton of light.

Maybe the idea behind the 400 HPS is you can wear sunglass at night and sing " I wear my sun glasses at night so I can ......"

Lol. Could be. Can't wait for my ballast kits to get here so I can get my ballast box wired up. Warm water should be here soon.

I have figured out a way to expand my 19' 8" boat deck into a 21' 6" deck. Why because I can.

Bigger is always better.

Ballast kits are in!!! Wiring them up tomorrow. Bulbs should be in tomorrow and I'm gonna make the housings Saturday. Should be completely done by the end of the weekend...hopefully. Lol

Hopefully my LED system will be simpler.

LEDs should be easy. Just the light, No ballast and all that. Took me an hour tonight just trying to get the wires straight so I know how to hook them up and what I need to buy to secure everything in the ballast box.

I wired 5 leds in succession in under 20 min.

 

[NuffDaddy]

Got everything mounted to go in the box. Gotta get some switches and a fan tomorrow then just hook it all together. Bulbs didn't come in....hopefully tomorrow.

 

[NuffDaddy]

Well, the "hopefully" kicked in. The ballasts I got aren't working. Sending one in to get checked over and hopefully I'll get the problem fixed before next weekends. Not too happy about it. It's getting real close to being to late.

Deck done!

 

[NuffDaddy]

Deck done!

Nice. What did you end up using on the deck?

 

[NuffDaddy]

Got my generator platform all fit and ready to be welded.

And I took BigSwole's idea for a stick steer and super redneckified it. It ain't pretty but it works.

When I push down on the handle it pushes the button to make it go. The bungee cord pulls it up so when I let go the motor shuts off so I can bring the fish in with out running into shore.

I used Deck Restore available at Home Depot or Lowe's its about $75. for 3.7 gallons and color you like. Mine is Lagoon blue.

yesterday after I closed the shop, gave it a bath (washed it up) before going to the shop to have the motor serviced, carbs flush, lower end changed today.

I installed my trolling motor. Have not played with the battery box yet.

Hey Nuff how much did you pay for those 4 ballasts? Was that price per ballast or for all 4?
