Yes. Do you know how much current they use? How many are there? Run on
12v, I assume.


Yes, 12v dc. Low amps, low watts, just good bright light. I got the
shipment today, and went out and played with them. They give a nice clear
light, maybe too bright, which is why I want to tone it down a bit. When
fishing under a full moon like it is now, you don't need a lot of light, and
when you do, you can use one of the LED headlamps aimed at the right spot.
Guess just a run of the mill device would work. What would that be called
at Radio Shack? Rheostat?
