The same applies with interior lights — LED is the only way to go. but LED is even better
There is one more light you should have: and more compact.
Plus they use less than
one-third of the power

will light your work space as if it’s daylight. Great on the water and for
clean-up when you get home.
Remote Spotlight
There is an option to mount a 101
remote-controlled spotlight on

to be controlled from
the dash, rather
than dealing with the
inconvenience and
danger of relying
on someone else to
point a spotlight at
the right spot.
