Default Docking light - Mfg Rec and Installation tips - Thanks

Ok I am going to put in some Docking lights over the winter.

Questions are:

What Brand/Brands have you tried out there Pro's Con's

I was looking at some on a friends wake board boat manufactured by Innovative Lighting - any comments?
I have not seen them in action.....

Also are there any tips for installation of these on my boat.
312 Stinger

Thank you........

When you are under power at night is there any benifit or just a docking thing?
What is the range/brightness for them I guess is the question

It is illegal to run with them on except for docking. They blind other people and other boats can't see your nav lights. They really don't do much anyway on the water. The light just reflects off.

I just carry a 2 million CP handheld spotlight in the boat.

Roger that, sorry reading my post yeah.
I meant when you are under power as in when you are coming into harbors/shore etc. I keep my boat in a tight harbor with an entrance that is 5 ft that is 12 ft wide, then jumps up to a 1-2 ft shelf!
Like you say yes, handheld, are they able to pics up things from a distance or is the handheld just as well?
