FAQs

We are the originators of the underwater fishing light market and are currently our third decade! Each unit is Handmade in the USA.

The bulbs emit UV light and UV light is what fish like. UV light glows green underwater. There is no colored lens to get the color. Zooplankton, the building blocks of the food chain, will begin to make their way to the light. Game fish seek water rich in a natural food source and their visual receptors are favorable to the blue/green light spectrum.

Absolutely! We use all marine Grade 440 Stainless Steel and UL Listed PVC.

The life span of a bulb is approximately 7-8 years of continuous nighttime usage. Some customers have reported lifespans of 10 to 12 years! Should the bulb need to be replaced, a bulb replacement assembly can be purchased and easily self-installed without having to replace the entire light kit.

Our Complete Single and Double Light Kits Include: Control box (Double or Single), ballast(s), inline GFCI power cord, photocell, weight bag kit, underwater PVC jacketed direct-burial bulb and cable assembly sealed with our proprietary UL listed potting compound and installation/operating instructions. The only thing you might consider adding is a mounting kit depending on your mounting structure.

If you have a specific target area in mind, want to create your own personal honey hole or have a smaller dock, a Single Light Kit is perfect for you. 

A Double Light Kit is ideal for attracting more fish, lighting multiple locations at once, creating ambiance, and providing aesthetic balance. If you have a larger pier or boat house, a Double Light Kit or Two is for you.

LED lights work great ABOVE WATER where they are known for their cool burning temperatures and crisp light. However, underwater, the lack of UV light emitted, and low heat production allow algae and other marine organisms to grow rapidly, blocking out the light and requiring regular cleaning. Each of our 175-Watt self-cleaning bulbs emit UV light and generate lots of heat, which helps prevent algae and marine growth.

Not at all. Although our lights are hot and bright, they are extremely efficient in converting electricity to light. The average annual cost to operate our light for 8 hours each night/365days each year is approximately $75 per year.

Truthfully, more lights do attract more fish. However, the number of lights is a personal choice. Some customers install additional lights to achieve an aesthetic balance and others want to light up multiple boat slips. The choice is yours and there are no wrong answers, but every dock is different and we are here to help you decide.

For our salt and brackish water customers, barnacle buildup can occur very quickly if the light is not in nightly use. The best prevention is running the light from dusk until dawn every night. Other measures include applying some barnacle resistant paint to the bulb assembly base (not on the glass itself) or simply pulling the lights out of the water and unplugging the control box when not in use for extended periods of time. However, we understand life happens, storms trip breakers when we are away and those pesky crustaceans may find their home on your fishing light. Removing their hard calcium plate can be done using some vinegar, a hard putty knife and some careful elbow grease. Place 2 gallons of white vinegar in a 5 gallon bucket of water. Submerge your light in the vinegar for 30 minutes. Remove the light and gently scrape at the barnacles being careful not to break the bulb. If they are still a bit stubborn, soak a little longer and try again.
