Underwater LED boat lights can add beauty to a boat; aid in visibility while at the dock, underway or anchored; and attract fish for nighttime angling. Adding a set of underwater LED boat lights is a great way to add ambience and brighten your nights on the water.
What are underwater lights?
Underwater lighting installs below the waterline of a boat to illuminate the water at night. Light bezels are made of different durable, marine-grade materials like stainless steel, polycarbonate and bronze. All of the underwater lights that West Marine offers operate on DC current and compared to old-style incandescent lights boast a low amp draw. While plain white underwater lights are offered, options also include colored underwater lights and controllers that you can use to create a custom light show for yourself and your guests.
Mounting Options for Below-the-Waterline Lights
Underwater lighting is offered with thru-hull and surface-mount options. Surface mount lights, which screw on to your boat’s transom or hull from the outside are the most economical option. Compared to surface mount lights, thru-hull underwater lights have a lower profile, which creates less drag. Additionally, thru hull lights can be serviced from inside the boat. Either type of light can be wired to a simple switch or to an advanced controller, which are normally sold separately. With a set of colored LED underwater lights and a controller, you can program your lights to run through a series of color changes for a truly stunning effect.
Attract more bait, catch more fish.
Avoid the frustration of a fruitless night on the water with underwater lights. Underwater lights attract plankton which in turn attract bait fish that you can use to catch the big fish you are really after. Bring the fish to you and make your night fishing adventures more successful!
