    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    I'm certainly not attempting submerse my fine ebay hid kits. The higher voltage is certainly more of a hassle to experiment with in wet environments, but deadly? I'd say these $35 35w hid kits are quite a bit less painful than an automotive ignition system.... I'm a survivor of both...

    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    Thanks for your input. From my research over the last few years ive come to the same conclusion on green lighting for its fish and squid attraction properties. What is your specific experience/ interest in marine lighting? Any suggestions on specific leds or? Im quite the tinkerer, and have...

    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    I fish squid on public piers in the puget sound - coastal i guess, but will be trying it out in my boat soon. The puget sound is usually less than 500ft deep in the middle of the channels. Water clarity is fairly clear right now. The only squid species we have are the california market...

    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    The lure/jigs we use to catch these squid, are almost always gitd, and usually reflective. If the squid are already numerus in the area, there is actually not much need for lights. (uncommon)

    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    I'll be spending around 100 bucks on this project. Yes blue penetrates further into water, but also reflects and scatters with particles in the water. greenish light does seem to illuminate further because of that effect. squid see much further into the uv spectrum than we do, and have the...

    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    Light penetration into sea water is an intresting twist that I dont completely understand, but those darn incandescent and halogen lights do seem to attract aquatic animals better than most. Is this likely due to the more full light spectrum of the bulbs?

    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    The squid need to see the lighted area from as far as possible, then my light just needs to be brighter than the next guy's. This area is 40-50 ft deep, and the water clarity is variable. I would guess my current light setup is around 3000 lumens. But, In other areas that allow generators...

    12v lighting for fishing/ squidding

    Around this time of year every year, squid are thick in the puget sound. Squid are attracted to light. The place that I frequent does not allow generators or gas (propane) lighting, no ac power is available on this dock either. I generally choose to use 12v automotive lighting run off of a...

    Zebralight SC600Fd III Plus - XHP50

    Interesting side note- I'm completely color blind. Black white and grey. (the idea of color kinda confuses me) The high cri light from this lamp is so much easier for me to work with than any other led light i've ever owned.

    Zebralight SC600Fd III Plus - XHP50

    I cracked my frosty lens on my sc600 a few months ago, did nothing about it, and continued to abuse the light... Eventually the whole pressed in bezel and cracked glass fell out in my pocket. Fortunately the reflector didn't get too scratched up. I use the light daily as an automotive...

    Test/review of LG 18650 HG2 3000mAh (Brown)

    I've been using them for a while, for a high drain edc light (8a max) and a mechanical mod e cigarette (20a max). They have been OK in my opinion. But.... I own 14 of em. The first two cells were from a local vape shop, and a few batches of 4 were purchased from ebay sellers (top rated...
