Title: Flood Light
Post by: rdhammah on Jun 18, 2022, 10:52 PM
Just bought this floodlight to mount on my Jet sled. It's originally designed for cars and trucks but it'll run off a 7 or 9 AH battery. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a dimmer switch so that when we're fishing we don't get blinded by the 965 Lumens. Thoughts?

LEDs are on or off, unless you buy special ones and special switches. Since there's no heat, maybe a red gel sheet (or two).

LED are way better than halogens.  LoL I remember when I built a set of fog lights and they only lasted about two hours on the 7AH SLA.

There are LED lights and dimmers that work together. LEDs are on or off, but you can pulse them fast enough and it reduces the total output. No way to tell what you have, so you would need to try. It is probably cheaper to get a separate LED light for fishing that is the correct wattage. I would look at lights for RVs, they are 12V.
