welcome to saving vessel seeker on the hard here at patience camp it's nice and sunny and bright
out right now but i'd like to be bright at night too we've got a solution for that because this
video is sponsored by hyperlite and we'll take a look but i bet this 100 watt light only pulls
about an amp now these lights have a rugged aluminum housing a steel bracket looks like
it's been powder coated and look at this if you set the angle on it there's a screw that you can
use to lock that angle in so you can keep it from moving around on its own and this folding mount
means that you can mount it right up against the wall and have it nice and flush to the wall so
i like the bracket on there especially and i like the fact that they have
plated hardware too it's not steel that's going to rust this is a nice feature too this is a little
port that allows moisture to leave the housing because this thing will get warm and that lets
it vent rather than fogging up this glass for comparison somebody donated me these 60 watt
lights now i'm very grateful for the donation but you can see the difference in quality here there's
only one arm here so you got a lot less adjustment on it instead of having the hinge out here in the
middle there's nothing to keep the light from moving except for the friction on that one bolt
and it's a much lighter weight bracket and there's no moisture event built into the thing either
if you're on a boat you don't have one of these long reach grippy things
you know they're fantastic getting stuff out of the bilge i'm going to use mine for
getting the bolts back underneath the solar panels because i just got to drop it down
through the hole like that and if it didn't work then i taped the wrench onto the end of the stick
ah that's bear
no stick needed i just jerry rigged this in yeah that's not bad this is just one
of the 60 watt ones i definitely like the deck back here especially with two of them
and they threw their light really broad you can see how wide that pattern is so they're
not like spotlights at all they're definitely floods that at all what a beautiful sunset
should be able to finish them up tomorrow i want to put switches on the console so i can
select starboard port or aft it's gotten darker now and yeah that's pretty nice
i put them out here on the edge so that the light doesn't hit the boat and
reflect back in i don't want that back scattered that one back there i set in
because the pilot house comes down back there i don't want to hit my head on it
i really like this self-sealing electrical tape it's self-vulcanizing sometimes on my ads
if you pull it really tight it stretches about half its width and you wrap it over half each time
and it sticks to itself and seals up i also put a little bit of a liquid electrical tape
or contact cement if you have electrical tape underneath there that helps goo the ends of
it up so i feel good about that connection and the solder joints take a lot of strain so they
they can be pulled on pretty hard see how stretchy that stuff is and it sticks back to
itself real good it's called self vulcanizing or moisture sealing or self uh bonding and
this is actually stuff that's sold at home depot so it's not too rare but you gotta
look around for this i had it down bottom shelf hidden away half deck for starboard
i think that turned out great that's a lot of light that'll help with operations at night
just fantastic and hyper light doesn't just make these lights they make a whole range of led flood
lights for lighting buildings parking lots uh you name it they have a light designed for so
check out their website and uh shop on amazon if you like the links are in the description
okay that's it for us send us your photos remember what'd you make today
