My existing submersible lights are now not going to get a warrant due to alot of the LED's are now not working
 
The boat is 6m long so would be worth buying something with a 9m cable if possible
 
What is the best brand to buy?  Trojan, Hella ???
 
Any advice would be a big help

Hella x 2

I had to replace the lights on my 2012 surtees trailer after a few years of hard out dunking (850 hrs of boating) and have never looked back since going hella. Bright and reliable. I bought the sealed set and it was easy enough for me to install myself (it'd hv to be super easy for me to get it right first time)

Hella or Trojan.  I've have both and both good. Typically they come with separate cables for each unit, about 9m from memory.

My only criticism is my Trojan lights have yellowed in the UV light.  The Hella ones haven't done this.

On special for $44 for LHS and $46 for RHS (+ GST) including 6 metre leads on each light
 
Spoke to guy serving me and he said they are on sale at 50% off at moment at WR Twiggs
 
Think they are models # 2394 and 2395
