How many of you TFF'ers have added LED lights to your boat for night catfishing ? Where did you get them ? Thanks in advance

My hand is raised-- I bought them off e-bay, less than 20 bucks for a 17'6" roll. Everything I've heard or read say's that I bought a "low end" set of lights. But they work, attract bait, and I've bought other stuff with the extra I would have spent for "good" lights.

I forgot to mention they are 12 volt and I have them hard wired into my battery. If you have a good battery, it shouldn't draw too much on it.

  I got mine off eBay.$20 or so a side.If I were to buy more,it would be 5050 led 60 lights per meter and get the 5meter /16 1/2' rolls.And IP65 or 67.That's the water resistance. I have the smaller ones but high led count.I used a half tube of liquid nails to attach.You have a boat,you can get the color changing,RBG with controller type.Not that expensive anymore.In a Jon I'd go straight green so you don't have to mess around with extra wiring to where you mount the controller in a water proof location and keep up with the remote.It isn't overwhelming to hook them up.Simple really.Alligator clips can work with some leads attached and small inline fuse.

I bought mine off of amazon. About the same price as these guys paid on ebay. It had self adhesive tape on the back that held well.  [/URL][/img]  [/URL][/img]
