I just received a 50 watt and 100 watt to see which would I’d like better I’ve watched about all of Dustin’s videos and decided to go with these after his explanations I think I’m going with the 100 watt after he said he runs 1400 watts with a 2000 watt generator on a different video I’ve watched a bunch of videos on different lights His explanations are easy for me to understand with what I want to do I currently have 8 Archenemy 50 watt lights It’s what my boat came with Too many amps for how I want to run Thanks Dustin
I've had a Vieugram 8 pack of 200 watters in my watch list for some time. Saturday night I looked at them a bbn d saw they were reduced 69% to 120 bucks. I bought 2 sets. They may have a over heating issue but I'm gunna give it a try. I only need 1 set but cheap enough to have spares. $15/ for the 200 watterz!
Technically yes. But if you attempt that I would not recommend over 500w of lights. Most guys running DC lights are on boats that have alternators. When you get into "battery only" power you will quickly have more battery weight than what a small inverter genny weighs and far less run time. And honestly the amount of noise is very minimal when you look at your ability to run 3x the amount of watts with the only thing that would stop you is being out of gas.
I run 23 50watt warm of this brand on a 2000 watt champion inverter generator and it runs on eco all night no problem. Definitely so.e good lights for the price
How do these lights stack up 2 years later? Are you still running them or would you recommend something different today? I’m fixing to build my first bow fishing rig and would love to save some money on lights if you have any recommendations
These lights are great, BUT if you're running a clapped out PowerMate generator that doesn't like to keep voltage consistent like I am.. Your lights will "flicker" when the voltage output drops.. which usually only happens if I need to clean my carb... The Harbor Freight inverter genny is my next purchase...
Inverter gennys make clean digital power, you'll be very happy with one. At 1600w mines under a pretty good load and will get about 7hrs run time on a tank of fuel.
Are these wired in directly to the battery, or did you wire them to be plugged into a generator? I ordered these lights, but I can’t get them to work with the battery. I’m a complete neophyte when it comes to all things electric but it seems like these don’t work with a 12 V deep cycle battery.
Please help NEW guy here!! Bout to get my bowfishing setup up and running!! If I can figure out how and where to start 😂. I will have 14 lights total. 4/100w and 10/50w. I have my inverter generator it’s a 2400starting watts and 1800running watts my question and confusion comes with the wiring and plugs 😳😳😳. I seen you used a 12/3 landscape wire in a previous video so I have that but should I run these lights off two cords port and stbd strains with one side connected to the bow or would they be ok to run on one continuous strain?? I do have a 20amp plug and a 30amp twist lock plug on the inverter generator. Please help anything you send my way that won’t get myself or my little ones electrocuted is HIGHLY and GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Thank you
Sorry 4 late reply. I bought them off Amazon FROM the viegreum store. Beware of copy cats. 200 watt lights used to be one light, it appears they have changed their designs and a 200 watt light now consists of 2-100 watt lights. I purchased a 100watt one here not too long ago and honestly, it's more than enough. Warm white with an amber tint placed on on it, perfect.
Would you recommend these lights over the seelite 70 watt lights? I’m wanting to cut cost but not at the expense of not seeing as many fish on my new build.
I have a 20’ Jon boat and a eu3000 Honda generator. How many of these lights would you recommend for me to get? And when I go to order the lights it asks for color temperature what does that mean?
Color depends on water clarity in bama we run 3k-3500k because the water is chocolate milk, granted we used regular light bars when we started but can definitely tell a difference in light color to how deep you can see in nasty water
Color temperature doesn’t necessarily matter because it kinda varies on different brands even though it technically shouldnt your just looking for a yellow gold color
Kelvin is the temperature measurement of the color of light. Red is 2000, candle light is 3000, bright white is 5000, blue white is 6500, 8000 is purple. The best Kelvin for bowfishing depends on the type of water you frequent. Hps is 2200, "extra warm" is 2800, warm is 3-3500 & "cool" could be 5-6500k. In gin clear water "extra warm" lights will actually reduce the travel of light by staining it with color. But in muddy water the warmer the better. Muddy water will reflect light off of the dirt particles in it, but the same particles will absorb extra warm color resulting in the best light penetration.
Ok I live in South Carolina I go to the congaree river, lake Murray and santee. So the water is a bit muddy. And I also couldn’t find any of the warm white lights anywhere could you reference me a link or something to lights like those?
I am setting up a bowfishing boat. Want to run 8 or 10 of those 100watt lights and a power max converter for 55lb 12v troller. Is there a way to figure how big generator I would need
You Sir, just saved me 600 dollars for 3 swamp lights by outrigger outdoors. Thanks for the wisdom. You have my subscription 👍
Been running them for 4 years on my boat and they been great
I've been using them for about 4 years they are amazing lights. Never hat to replace one never had to touch them wire and go.
I just received a 50 watt and 100 watt to see which would I’d like better
I’ve watched about all of Dustin’s videos and decided to go with these after his explanations
I think I’m going with the 100 watt after he said he runs 1400 watts with a 2000 watt generator on a different video
I’ve watched a bunch of videos on different lights
His explanations are easy for me to understand with what I want to do
I currently have 8 Archenemy 50 watt lights
It’s what my boat came with
Too many amps for how I want to run
Thanks Dustin
Glad I could help bud

My buddy has the 200’s, they’re super bright and we’ve put one season on em so far with no issues. I think you’ll really like them 👌🏼
I have ben useing seelites for a lil wile and I really like them kinda high but so far I haven't had no problem out of them
I have 2 300 watt vigurium with multi chips been working great for 3 years now
where did you get them
@@robertbailey8570 Amazon
You could also run them off a inverter connected to the batteries would work
Technically yes. But if you attempt that I would not recommend over 500w of lights. Most guys running DC lights are on boats that have alternators.

500w ÷12v =42amps
That's equivalent to running a 55 lb trolling Motor in the weeds at full power. It will drain a average battery in about 90min.

Subbed brother. .was gonna drop a few grand to buy pre made led lights, but insteaf im gonna go this route . Thanks !!!
Great stuff. I’ve been binge watching. Do you have a link for a shirt and hat? I don’t use Facebook or Instagram so a web link is best.

Viugreum does not offer a 12v light. Seek professional help.
Looking for these but can only find 10,000 lumen lights
Can't believe you haven't tried swampeye lights yet
This video was made before that company existed. 🤷♂️
What would you use for a 12 volt light. I didn't see many reviews about them?
Nothing matches the performance of E-FISH-N-SEE bowfishing lights. Check em out
Would amber tint help you see better on those lights?
They're already warm. But yes film will change color. But it will also take away from the brightness. With film a little goes a long way.
These better, worse or about the same as 5 star lights?
Can you send me the exact model you are talking about? Do I need to do all 100 watts or put some 50 watts as well?
I just bought the ones in your link and I can only get like 1/16 of how bright they are supposed to be any ideas ?

It's only 900w & 8.2Amps it's fine on 1 plug. That's less power than your toaster requires.
Been running viegreums for 2 years now, 10 200 watters, best bang for the buck. Buyer beware, there are several viegreum clones out there.
where'd you get yours?

Do you have the link for the ones you suggest with the frosted lens. I can’t seem to find them
They are out of stock everywhere. Covid screwed it all up. Hopefully they become available again
@@DustinApple would you still have the link where I can keep an eye on them to come back in stock
how tall are they with the bracket laying flat(parallel with the led) bracket to bottom of led pannel
Bought them and hooking them up on the pontoon today
Would you recommend these lights over the seelite 70 watt lights? I’m wanting to cut cost but not at the expense of not seeing as many fish on my new build.
You really cant go wrong with viugrem at all
can't find them anywhere ??? have you located another place to purchase them ...thnks for information
covid screwed everything. impossible to find

@@tuckerbessinger8003 they are all sold out cause of Covid. Idk what to tell you.
Do you run 1600watts of light and a converter for trolling motor off of 2200 generator
No converters on that setup.

@@jamesshirkey6543 get a 45 powermax @650w then add your lights. Don't exceed 2000w on your genny. You run 10-100s you'll be fine.
Thank you sir
