Flip over power box

[3300]

What is a good light? I need something close not big and bulky?

welcome!
what do you want your light to be used for?

Here's mine.  I'm not quite finished yet as I have to add some holes to run the wires for the lights and flasher and add in some foam to keep the battery from sliding around.  This is a pretty good box for me, it will work inside my flip over and when I go out to check the lines or extra light when I'm packing up.  Those are two Rigid Industries Duallys, each 1000 lumen, so that's more than enough light.

Hey Guys,

I'm going to attempt to make a power box as well, but I'm up in Canada and I can't get the stuff of Amazon.com, only Amazon.ca and that site's electrical component selection is limited - I can't get all the components that have been listed on this thread.  But I can get this:





Seems like this would be a better, cheaper option - thoughts?  Maybe I'm wrong...

Look to see what is available on places like ebay, in my experience ebay is a great source for components, but you have to know what your looking for.

I wrapped a section of 5050 waterproof led strip along the lup and that works very well for me, it is not a search light, but it does well to light up the immediate area

Just want to say that these switches suck.  I've replaced 3 of them after they stop toggling.

Rather than starting a new thread, I am posting to this one because it was the most helpful. A lot of great ideas here!

I used this video to walk me through the build, the only thing I changed was using breaker switches instead of fuzes and I added a dimmer switch for my shanty's LED lights.

I plan to use the extra space to toss in chargers and other goodies I might use with the box while on the lake. Next, I'm either going to make a light box or add one to this box for jigs.
