Underwater Illumination

[Blackdfl]

If you’ve been around the coast for long, you’ve undoubtedly seen a lot of docks with lights hanging under the dock to illuminate the water. Many docks have green light eminating from underneath in an effort to attract bait fish and ultimately predators, like snook. A company out of Tampa Bay, Florida has taken this a step further and made undersea illumination. These lights are actually submerged in the water off of your dock, marina, harbor, canal or seawall. What’s the difference does it make if the light is beneath the surface? True illumination. You won’t have the water reflecting the light back to you. You will be able to see fish the silhouette of all the fish swimming over the lights. Not only can you just look down and see when a big snook is sitting waiting for a nice shrimp to be dropped on his head, but it makes for a nice view as well. Turning your dock or marina into your own personal aquarium. Check out this video of the lights at work:

What's the box look like on your screen? Mine shows the YouTube video box just like normal and tested video plays. This may be a job for someone a little more techy than me.

Have had a few other folks view the post, has anyone else had trouble seeing the video? Or more to the point, is there anyone else besides me who was actually able to watch it?

It works fine, Disney music and all. Now I want to run out and buy some lights.

Cool video, thanks for putting it up.

That's pretty cool. So the lights are actually mounted on the bottom, interesting. The video looked good, but I am guessing it's one of those things that you have to witness in person and video just doesn't do it justice? I bet that looks great in person.

Great soundtrack too, I was rockin-out.

Ya, they are mounted on the seabed. Much better than having them hanging under the dock. Lights on the surface just give you glare. According to the companies website they can be mounted up to 20ft deep. Although at 20ft I'm not sure how well they'll be illuminating the surface?

That is pretty cool, makes me wish I had a dock behind my house to put them!!
