Looking for opinions on which spotlights work best during low light/night time conditions.
I am looking at the Rigid line of lights. The 4" Spots have a beam of 10 degrees at around 450 yards. And the 10" bar achieving as much as 750 yards of beam. My question is, what is overkill?
450 yards (or 4 football fields) seems like a long distance for light to travel, but on the ocean, distance can be decieving. Is 450 yards a long way over water? Or do people, FROM EXPERIENCE, prefer a light that can travel farther.
I am thinking of going with 3 forward lights, 2 spots and a flood (for close in lighting). and one flood for rear deck lighting. I may add side floods but they are not a necessity, more of a luxury at this time.
Long story short, how much range is good, verging on overkill, for spotlights?
Cheers,
