(68.59.247.20) | I need some help on which is better. I have a 20 ft triton and looking to install drop in plug(s) for black lights. I have heard that one on each side and get the nucli-eye will be sufficient for both people fishing the front and back or should I install two on each side and go with the moon lites?
For those of you with drop ins, which lights do you prefer and how many on each side?? |

(98.249.106.83) | Never used either of them, I've heard the led lights are nice but I tend to be a creature of habit. I have used Stan Sloan lights for years and never even had a bulb go bad. I had a set put on my Stratos this past year, I think they are called Wormers by Sloan. Call Wally @ Dalton Marine, he ordered mine for me and they installed them. Mine have a small fluorescent light that you can adjust the brightness on with a dial and one black light bulb in each light. I'm thinking they were around 100.00 a light and each light comes with 2 receptacles for the boat. |

(167.9.1.11) | I have a 20 ft Bullet and I put one drop in plug both sides, in the middle of the boat. Moonlite LED lights are great. Putting the black light in the middle helps to keep the bugs off your legs. Also you can position the light in any direction. Good Luck |

(68.59.247.20) | thanks for the responses, I have been told that one nucli-eye is plenty for both the front and back person fishing to see. I do like the idea of one on each side which will help keep the bugs off of you. Hopefully someone will respond pertaining to the nucli-eye... |

(216.41.247.54) | moonlites are just as powerful as nuclieye. moonlites have more advanced circuitry to protect the LEDs and a lens to protect the LEDs. bugs and grime get on nuclieye's exposed LEDs and there is risk of damage while cleaning. and moonlites are about half price. get the one with green...you can see better. |

don't waste your time reading that. everyone knows it was written by the son of the guy that owns nuclieye. there's a side by side comparison on youtube.

(68.53.210.249) | I have nuclieye with one plug per side on a 21 footer. That has been sufficient for two of us fishing, and I like the fact that it attracts less bugs with one unit per side. Fish-N-Fun mounted the plugs and I like where Butterbean mounted them. |

i don't own anything but a large tool. moonlite is just as powerful as nuclieye, about half the price and best warranty. not a hard decision for most.

(66.18.43.108) | With either the Atom or the moonlite you would need two lights per side. The Nucli-eye Extreme will put out the same if not more than two of either the atom or moonlite. So you tell me which is cheaper and how many holes do you wanna drill in your boat. You are correct the atom and the moonlite are about the same in output... and price. The Nucli-eye extreme which, you might be confusing some folk about on purpose or mabye cause you just dont know, is more expensive but you only need one. So nuclieye extreme vs two moonlites.. your moonlites are gonna be higher and your gonna have more holes in your boat. |

(216.41.247.54) | i'm only talking about blacklight power, not visible light to see the shoreline. they've all got the same 3 uv leds. i can see the bank fine with the moonlites i've fished with. |

(134.137.180.8) | I have the moonlights on my tr-196. I use a full moon up front and a half moon on the back. I like my set up. You could get away with one full moon on each side if positioned right.
