Default Lights

I am working in rigging up my first boat for bowfishing. I found some 12 watt lights on Amazon for only like 8 bucks. Are these bright enough? I am new to the sport and don't want to be sorry when I get them. Thanks.

A 12 watt LED bulb puts off roughly 900-1200 lumens. At the 1200 lumens mark, that would be the average brightness for your standard 75 Watt incandescent light bulb so basically I feel confident in saying that would be like going bow fishing with an end table lamp. I would recommend a 20+ Watt LED if you have the means to get it.
