almost complete. Spoke to an electrician about what I'm making and he's advising me on safety. I don't want to take any chances, but would rather do it right the first time. As with my other projects I will tweek it until I'm satisfied with the final results. Here is what I have so far. it's real simple.

This is what it looks like on.

I need to find a brighter light, but so far I'm happy with how it came out.

110v or DC?

Looks good. Been working on an LED stick myself. Just need to buy a tube to stick it in and I'll be done.

Is it designed to sink or float on the top?

I'm connecting it to an 8ft pole and putting under water about 4-5 ft deep at boat slip.

That's a nice one you have there... the light of course.

you are on to something there I think!!!

If you want to spend $100 the url below gives plans for a 175 watt mercury vapor underwater light. This is an extremely bright light to attract fish to your slip.

Forgot to add url

DC for now. I'm just trining to get ready for Crappie and maybe a few sandies later on.

can you post a close up picture of the light

t's a regular 60 watt from Lowes. I just used it to get started. I will change it out to a brighter one upon completing the project.

something else you can do, if no electricity, is buy a handful of the 1.00 chemlights, whatever color you like. tie a weight to them, asctivate and drop them by your slip, they will glow most of the night. no wires, no batteries, no safety hazzards. theres lots of different colors you can try.

I have been working on a 9v version myself.
it ran 24 + hours in testing and is DC voltage as in 9v battery.

Where did you purchase the light? I haven't been able to find one and I'm thinking I will have to purchase it on line.

I got the LEDs at superbrightleds.com In this I have 4 of them with resittors.
