Green Lights.

[PharmDPhisher]

Yesterday, while browsing the aisles of my local Academy, I came across a submersible green light that operates on 4 AA batteries for ~$16. Does anyone on this board have any experience with these lights? Are they worth the $ ?

I make my own. Anywhere from 18"-4'.

Here is a 4'

Darrell, can you please post your plans!

Thanks!

I'll get some better pics and write a set of plans. The 4' will burn about 20 hours on a regular car battery.

I have used the white and green submersible lights as well as a coleman lantern hanging just above the water. All three methods worked for me. You can't go wrong either way. People just start getting into the technicalities of everything. While there is some truths to it all, ie. Different frequencies of light in water travel farther, disperse more, etc.., it all boils down to how much you want to spend and what works for you ( what/who you believe ). Either ways enjoy your sport.
