T Top Light Bar

[mike228]

Hello all,

I have a 2022 Sea Pro 228 Bay Boat and I'm looking into adding a light bar on the T Top.

My primary use would be the occasional times when I'm out a little after dark and need to see to navigate back to the dock. I use the boat in coastal South Carolina so it would be in the inshore saltwater creeks and rivers and bigger open waters.

Any suggestions on what type to get?

Lumens?
Spot -vs- flood?
Mounting?
Quality build to stand up to the saltwater environment?
Source to purchase that offers a reasonable price?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Mike and welcome.
Lumens?, More the merrier.
Spot vs flood?, from what you describe I'd go with flood.
Mounting?, I used these www.amazon.com/LAMPHUS-Off-Road-Horizontal-Mounting-User-Friendly/dp/B01FETT3FO/ref=sr_1_11?gclid=CjwKCAiAoL6eBhA3EiwAXDom5kQVqsHKsWpTb5smOWxk6yvJJ2tkk74sX2rfZ2Qx15MIG7GFz_lCjxoCoLkQAvD_BwE&hvadid=510656431825&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9011267&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=14722516799633206070&hvtargid=kwd-360778179022&hydadcr=9690_9896393&keywords=boat+t+top+mounting+brackets&qid=1674594740&sr=8-11.
Quality will depend on how much you wanna spend, there are endless options, lumitec are good.

I'm cheap. I think I paid less than $20 for my light bar but it's LED, bright and lights up everything behind it. You'd probably need two to use as spreader lights to light up your wake but if all you want to do is light up the stern, they work great. I didn't have a good picture but if you zoom in on the T-top, you can see the light on top.
