Default Another Boat Light Question-headlights

I plan on doing more night fishing this year, so i want to make sure i have plenty of good light. the interior fishing lights seem pretty simple, but do any of you guys have any kind of "head lights" on your boats when your running the big motor at night? something that is gonna project a good beam in front of the boat so ya dont smash into logs or any other kind of hazard? Ive seen some headlights mounted on boats in the past, but dont know if some are better than others or some may have a tendancy to fizzle out with all the jarring from waves, or anything like that. I dont plan on running full bore on a pitch black lake, just a nice slow putt putt to where im going but it would be nice to light the way if possible.
Last resort could be a handheld 1-2 million candle power unit but with a tiller i would prefer to have 1 free hand to hold onto the boat. any thoughts or suggestions i can start looking into?
Thanks.

I have this wired to a guitar cord and plug to fit in my black-lite plug.

That gobee J&S posted about looks awesome and would be even better if
it was a a spot LED.

I have two cyber lights from blue water led. I love them. Bright as heck. 720 lumens each I think. Around 90.00 each buts it's a quality light.

I use these they work pretty good, but they are not really a spot light, I have also used the golight and it worked well in the beginning then it began to malfunction never to recover. I usually end up using handy handheld spotlight.

Jd are those cyberlights good for running at night? I might get some of those. How many amps do they pull. also they have them on sale for $150.00 a pair.
