crazy idea #2

You must drive an MGF/TF .... don't ask me how I guessed!!

Alan.

My guess was a Ford Focus like my wife's.

I think a night vision scope would be better.

Spot lights are useless! a fog light is better as it has a wide beam.better to open curtains and leave cabin lights on?

Alan.

Alternator conversion and H4 lamp units will sort that! (don't ask how I know!)

They're all mad except me because nobody has suggested the obvious answer: cats'-eyes.

That's plain stupid. You would need catfish eyes.

When you're driving a car you are concerned about what's in the 0 to 100m range. When offshore you will be interested in things that are usually miles away, spotlights will be zero use. In confined waters perhaps there could be an application but I'm not sure how the regs would treat it.

I played about with lights, but the sea absorbs the light. I ended up with millions of candlepower and it still wasn't enough. Retaining night vision and spotting shadows seems to be the best option. Its quite rare to be in total darkness.
