X-Shark- not so sure those clip-ons are 'designed' for heat lamps. Go out and buy a heater, it's much more safe. Many a fire are started by using equipment for which it was not intended, and a clip on shop-light was not intended as a heat source.

I think it would have been better to state "not sure if your using 110 or 12v, but I have found that....."

or you could have just said 'nice catch' and went on your way.

I also think that the guy knows that it may get wet or moisture around the boat, but thanks for stating the obvious.

I know that they sell those clamp on deals for heat lamps in pet stores. They are used for heat lampswhen keeping reptile pets. Maybe he's using those type bulbs. Either way all is clear now.

They are rated for up to 150watt and that is the heat lamps I have in them. Yes I have portable propane heater too.



This stuff is used when doing glass work in the shop. Heat lamps are safer with no open flame and cheaper to operate for many hours.

X-Shark did not specify wether his Heat/Sun lamps he was using were 12v/110v/220v or the Amp's maybe it will be more clear and concice in his next post or maybe it will come with that training he was speaking of.

He could be spending too much time at the Shop Tanning under those lamps.

Its OK for him not to be specific, butthe forumhas the problem because everyone else is not explaining what the picture is about. If I post a picture of me standing by a deer lying on the ground with a gun in my hand would you think I need to explain that I shot the deer or would you think, I wonder if he hit that with his truck.

And why would he have to explain the lights, all he was doing was showing us the pics of his fish he stabbed. Not his setup of his boat.

It is obvious that some people get it and some people don't!



Jigmaster is now making sarcastic jokes about my heat lamps and knows DAMN well that they are 110V. He took offense to my ridicule for people not giving complete info on thing's and I'm not talking about the case right here. I'm specifically talking about people asking for help with something.



I am a moderator on another boating forum. http://www.classicmako.com/forum/

We don't have the pissing contest like this forum does. WHY?

Answer: Because LOT's of pix are posted and things are explained in detail.



When I see something that LOOKs dangerous I will say something to try and not let someone get hurt.



As it turned out the case in hand was NOT dangerous as it is a 12 volt system, but there was NO way of knowing that by the pix and description posted. Period!



Now I have people pissed off because I give a Damn about someone possible getting hurt. WTF over!



Read what I post for what it is. To keep someone from getting hurt. End of story.
