Contrary to popular demand all marine spot lights are not the same and most do not stand up to the test of time and saltwater. I purchased for my honey and myself a 2 million watt  and many 1 million watt state of the art portable spot lights from Boat USA/Boaters World and West Marine over the years.

 

 They all have lasted one maybe two years at the very most. Some of them as little as six months before they no longer take a charge or simply do not work. All the stores are always happy to exchange the ones that quit working with in the warranty period .

 That is not the issue. The issue is these are not cheap and should last longer then they do. We do admit we do test them in harsh environments , Salt water spray and an occasional drop onto the deck does reduce its life a little.

 

The best scenario I can think of is a late evening that went into the wee hours of the morning. Coming back in with a cooler load of fish on a moonless night in a light drizzle.

We have always kept our lighting system in top order but this one day navigating from the gulf into and thru the inter coastal the ever faithful electric lights failed.

 

 Of course we broke out the old faithful 2 million watt hand held spot light that is always charged and ready to go and nothing happened. Everything was dead, go figure Newton’s law. Well my honey being the sarcastic person he is reached under his seat and grabbed a 500,000 watt spot light that he had purchased from Big Lots 5 years ago.

 

This ugly grey Marine spot light that went for 9.99 new at the time was so banged up and covered in some type of smegma that I could not identify light right up and lasted the entire trip home. He only charges it once a month and never cleans it.

 

Go figure, I spend hundreds on great looking marine hand held spot lights that do everything but wash our teeth for us and he saves the day with a cheap looking rugged

Plastic no name spot light.

 

The moral to the story is price doesn’t always mean you are getting something that will last or be dependable when you need it.
