    I thought I would share the light build with y'all...I am installing 8 150w HPS lights.











    I had to grind down the stainless washers so they would fit under the rails...

    More to come... I broke my only 5/16 bit, smashed my finger on one of the stainless brackets, and my patients were wearing thin....

    I am hoping to get the rest of them mounted today. That will leave me a few days to get them wired and into conduit then to the switches...

    Are they tipped down enough to light up the water?

    They are down about 3-5 degrees... From what I was reading most folks put thier HPS's on at a 45degree angle from the boat....Pointing them straight out....I hope everyone I read wasn't misleading me
