Are the expensive LED lights worth it?

[7Deuce]

I seem to push the fishing to the absolute limits of daylight sometimes which has me coming into the dock right at dark. I'm typically in a no wake zone at twilight but docking would be easier with some lights. It looks like there is a pretty huge swing in pricing from some brand names and what I assume are knock offs. Does anyone have any experience with either price point? I think 1 monster light on the front (a bit of spot and a bit of flood) plus a couple floods off the back/sides would do it. What do you guys run?

I've installed 2 rigid SR-Q diffused floods out back and a golight spot up on radar mount..
Also replaced all incandescent bulbs with cheap ebay led's from China..you can buy packs of 10 for around 5$..that includes shipping
I picked up red & green for marker lights and bright white for all cabin and rear deck/ engine bay area
So far so good..no complaints

similar to springfever552, I've replaced all mine as well. money well spent. and easy on the batteries... use alot less energy. super bright. I angle my deck light up most of the time as it's too bright. just use the reflected light off the house overhang. much easier on the eyes.
I have a light bar on my roof with a few lights at different angles and on individual switches. basically only use them if coming into a secluded port or anchorage so I can light up the shore, dock or crabtrap floats, etc... we almost always come in in the dark it seems...
