Lightingsky 12V 10.8W 180 LEDs 1080 Lumens LED Submersible Fishing Light Underwater Fish Finder Lamp with 5m Cord

The unit was a little smaller than I expected, but also a little brighter than I expected (so I guess that balances out). I thought I would mention the size, and include a photo in my hand, since no size was mentioned in the description. The light housing is 6.5" long.

So I gave this a shot tonight after a dry spell, I figured it would help, but not as much as it did. After about 30 minutes, what I thought were bugs in the water turned out to be tiny little bait fish, I didn't even know we had little shiners in our lake like this, I netted one and checked it out, there were tons of them, nothing worth putting a hook in though so I let them swarm hoping it would draw in some bigger fish. About an hour later there were some bigger bass (9-10 inch Stripers), but they didn't seem interested in my bait, just the light. About 90 minutes from when I dropped the light in there were fish all over the light, so thick at points that thought was barely visable. I typically use some fresh bait on a pole or two and run a lure at the same time on another pole. I got to the point that I had to start casting far out and letting the fresh bait practically hit the bottom and slowly bring it up until it was under my boat (about 35 feet down). I had to go down to 1 pole because it was hit after hit. Once I got down beneath the top swarm, the bigger guys were down there, I pulled in a few 16+" Stripers.My conditions:Dark clear night.About 1/2 mile from shore.Fishing in a spot where I rarely get a bite.Didn't chum the water, had no luck with lures but was having too much fun with catching the larger ones at the bottom.Tips:Don't connect it until it's in the water, this thing is super bright.Anchor down and be PATIENT - they will eventually come.Use lots of weight to get it past the smaller guys on top, or cast out about 15 yards to get it out of the light, then bring it towards you to stay deep.I fish in Lake Havasu in Arizona, we have tons of Striper, I release everything. Next trip out I'm going to just fish lures and see how it goes. This is cheating, plain and simple, but cheating's not always bad (Ask Tom Brady).As far as quality of the light goes, I was a little suspect, it didn't seem like a solid seal, but after about 3 hours there wasn't a drop of moisture in there. I may still seal it a little better just to be safe. There was barely any draw on the battery, i kept checking, paranoid in the middle of the night I'd kill my battery, it barely moved my battery gauge though.I'm not sure why there's any negative comments on here, this is a great product. The people with issues more than likely didn't let it sit long enough.

I bought the green version and its very bright! Last night I left this in the water from about 8PM to 630AM and it used about 4 amps out of me 7 amp lead acid batt. I have used this about four times prior so it seems to hold up. In the morning when I went to retrieve it there was an unusually high number of brill, shiners, and catfish swimming around.

Works great so far... Purchasing 2 more today, to use in early Spring:) Small Compact, plenty bright, perfect for attracting bait,first arrival are smaller fry, then(cast-net or dip-net catch-able)medium to large bait-size glass,spot-tail minnows And IMO the all around best live-bait= 'Good Ole' *Threadfin Shad* :) :)Only used about 5-times, since "Purchased 12V 10.8W (180 LEDs- but didn't actually count, sorry...lol) 900 Lumen (green) on October 14, 2017" First time was about 4 hours, 6 feet under water No leaks, but added silicone sealant after Justin Case or just for "Peace of Mind" :)Next 4 uses, work great, no leaks or any issues of condensation or fogginess So givin 5 StarsCons: It doesn't catch fish...lol Pros: Attract's small fresh-live bait, to catch... To catch bigger fresh-live fish, to make into fresh-fish tacos :)Just what the doctors ordered, so yes would recommend to a Friend... " Have a Healthy+Prosperous *2018* "

for a unit this small it gives off a good deal of light. I read others reviews and per their advise is used a sealer on the bottom cap. Not sure it was needed but I've used it a few times and no leaks. word of advise don't go nuts lowering it to deep as no light will handle 20 foot of water pressure. 3-4 feet will attract the fish and not damage the light.

Using as underwater boat lights! Very bright! Great price! I have 2 of the lights permanently mounted under my boat zipped tied to my trim tab cylinders, they have been submerged for a month and they have worked every weekend so far... I don't think they are designed to stay underwater so I am impressed with the quality!

This light is small and bright! Take my advice and don't spend big bucks at the box stores, buy this Lightingsky submersible LED. Worked well for me freshwater fishing from a pier but I'm guessing it will work better in a boat away from the shore. I bought a small (lawnmower size) deep cycle 12 volt battery and it put an insignificant drain on the battery power after 15 hours of use.

I used this light for the first time last night and it performed better than I expected. It's fun watching the progression from microscopic life being attracted to the light at first then bait fish then finally the big ones. There was a school of shad swimming in a 30ft circle and 25ft deep around the light. The big fish would hang out on the bottom 25-30ft and pounce on stragglers from the school.I caught spotted bass, largemouth bass, striped bass, white and black crappie. Talk about fun!The light is very bright and, in clear water, puts out a huge radius of light surround itself. It uses very little power from a 12v battery which is a huge plus. I'm very glad I bought this light and I recommend it to anyone looking to some night light fishing. It really brings them in! I was thinking about getting another one but after seeing it in action you don't need more than one for a small craft with 1-3 people. You might do well with two lights if you are fishing from a large craft with several people.
