I used to use two 400 watt high pressure sodium lights. it was so so. The only way to go is 500+ metal halide. I now run one 500 watt and one 1000 watt metal halide. the 500 barely looks on compared to the 1000 watt 7200 kelvin light.
Well said, my night boat runs 4 1000 watt halide lights. People try alot of different things with high expectations as it relates to night fishing and are generally disappointed. There was a thread on here six months ago where people recommended using 250 watt green led lights on the transom. I gave away two of those to Kenner 18 a few months ago.
