I hadn't thought of an inverter . I have a small gas motor as well - so at least I wont be stuck at the far end of the lake . I think I'll be ok with a lower wattage , being that the fish I shoot at are usually near the surface or at it . This may bring up another point - Having never shot at night before , will I still be able to find fish near the surface like I do at late afternoon/early evening ? This will probably end up being a trial and error thing . If I can get a good amount of light for 2-3 hours , then I'll be happy .
With all that being said - Do you think that a pair of 12 volt 55 - 100 watt lights will give me the most longevity over the other option of using an inverter and halagen ? Thanks alot for your help.
