This is because we have become comfortable with equating bulb wattage with brightness, and so naturally assume higher wattages mean more lumens and thus a brighter light.

<description><![CDATA[As a boat owner, providing the proper illumination so that you can see inside the cabin and so that you can be out on the water at night with enough light to see your controls clearly is important. Unfortunately, the G4 halogen lights that are installed on most boats are inefficient at best. Finding the proper illumination for any boat is critical, but knowing where to turn and where to look can be difficult. One solution that is becoming widely popular these days is simply replacing the halogen lights with G4 LED lamps.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With young children or new riders the boat driver has to listen and watch for the tube riders signals, thumbs up is faster, thumbs down is slower, and never forget the universal symbol for stop, if the boat driver gets this wrong you might not get the new tube riders coming back and nobody wants that! The boat driver has a lot of control with the riders literally on the end of a rope.This is why the driver has to watch his mirror, listen to the observer and the riders for the universal signals. When starting off I like to idle out until the slack is taken up apply the right amount of gas for the take off and motor along in a straight line until we get up to a comfortable speed, all the while watching and listening. Once the tube riders are comfortable with that the boat driver can increase the effectiveness or fun factor of the ride a couple of ways...I like the rough water method.]]></description>
