| Flounder Lights |
| Made Easy! |
Our 12VDC, 100-watt AquaStar White, our 120VAC, 150-watt AquaStar White and
our 450-watt Magnum White are the #1 selling Flounder and Lobster lights on the
marketn today!
You can hang the lights vertically in the water by the power-cord, mount them vertically
using PVC or you can mount them horizontally using PVC as a bracket and glare
shield. More info on Vertical vs Horizontal.
Hanging the light vertically in the water will produce a 360 degree circle of light, with
more light being projected outward then downward. Mounting the lights horizontally
will direct more light downward and less light outward which may be better for murky
water or dark bottoms.
Hanging the light vertically in the water will illuminate a 12' to 30' radius with more light
shining outward than downward. If you are gigging in water from 1' to 3', this method
may produce all the light you need. Mounting the light horizontally with PVC will
illuminate a 8' to 10' radius with more light shining downward than outward. This may
be the preferred method for deeper or murky water. The PVC also acts as a glare
shield which blocks any upward directed light.
Notice: If you insert the light in PVC, be sure and drill a hole in the PVC end cap or
elbow so water can reach the bottom of the light. If the bottom hole in the green end
cap is closed off, the light will overheat and melt the outside polycarbonate tube guard!

Comments: Below are some of the results of using 4 of the 100 watt AquaStar lights
attached to a frame I designed. The frame takes about 7 feet of 1 1/4" PVC and 3
T-brackets to make. About $10 for the frame and $110 for the lights. I use two each
deep cycle batteries to run the lights and get around 10 hours (2 trips) out of each charge.
Another friend bought 2 of the Sea Striker lights and he was out in his boat the same night
and the same area I was in. I got 15 in my boat. He got 1. He said the light wasn't
bright enough. I'm sure I'll have to order some for him too.

| Flounder Lights Made Easy If you want to build a flounder light like the ones on the left or the ones below, go to your local hardware store and pick up some 1.25" schedule 40 PVC and get creative! Cut the glare shield to the lengths shown in the picture below. The outer Polycarbonate Tube Guards on the lights fit nicely inside 1.25" PVC. All PVC Glare Shields come with reflective tape to be used on the inside of the PVC which helps reflect more light downward and prevent light from shinning thru the Shield. |
| Boat Mounted Flounder Lights If you want to build a flounder light like the one below, click here for details. |
| NOTICE: Not all schedule 40 PVC is created equal. If the light does not fit snugly inside the PVC, wrap a piece of electrical tape around the tube guard on the light before sliding it in the PVC. The tape will thicken the wall up some and make for a snug fit in the PVC. See pictures below. |
Comments = I bought 4 100W AquaStar White Lights for Flounder gigging. I built a light
bar out of PVC and angled all four lights at about 35* angle. This gives me the perfect light
radius and water penetration. I use 2 group 27 batteries and can run at least 8 hours. If
these lights last I will never buy another SeaStriker light again.
Thanks Aaron

| If you don't have the time or tools needed to cut a Glare Shield like the one's above, you can order them below. You can purchase the straight 1.25" PVC and elbows locally. Notice: The battery clips or AC plug must be removed in order to run the power-cord thru the PVC. Re-attach the battery clips to the unused leg on the clips. |

I have built a really functional floundering light bar that I wanted to share with you.

I love how they always stay just right in the water, no matter how much chop or how
much weight is on the front of the boat. With them I can get into water as shallow as 6"
and not drag, and as you can see they are completely out of the way of gigging. They are
rugged too!

Comments = Good Afternoon
Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new Aquastar lights. I have them
mounted to my fishing kayak with two Scotty side mount rod holders. This set-up works
great, because you can adjust from travel mode to fishing mode in seconds
Just slide them in and lock them down or slide them out when not being used. My kayak
is a Malibu X-Factor which is one of the more stable fishing kayaks on the market. The
lights give me about a ten foot visibility and plenty of light to get the job done. The pictures
are my first night out and a couple of hours later. The largest was about six pounds.
Thanks Again for a great product

The setup below is the most popular rig because the lights are not mounted
rigid...they float freely which prevents the lights from hitting the bottom when more
weight is added to the front of the boat or when moving into shallow water.

Comments = I have a 14' Old Town Predator K14 which is a SINK. Without drilling, or
making any permanent attachments, I made use of my flounder lights to mount in the rear
for night gigging. I'd give the dimensions, but they may not work for other SINKS and
most definitely for SOT kayaks. You can see the different 90 degree elbows, T-joints and
even the end caps where I routed the wires through.
These three photos were taken from different angles to give an idea on how to make
maximum use of a crate as I did. I basically made it out of PVC and it's designed to fit
inside of my crate that sits between my seat and the battery. These lights are from
http://www.fishinglightsetc.com and give me a 10' - 15' radius of light (depending on water
conditions). I designed this to sit inside of my crate where I strap them down securely.

Comments = As you can see in this second post how I attached my flounder lights inside
everything and attached some high reflective street tape. I also created some dry storage
to keep dry such as cell phone, batteries, electronics, etc.
Back to the flounder lights....I used velcro straps almost exclusively in my crate set up
because I can always adjust and it's very durable, weather proof and versatile. If you
noticed, I have some foam protectors over my flounder lights to keep them from busting in
transit. In the second photo, I purposely "raised" one of the flounder lights at the 90
degree elbow to show how I can adjust the height and depth while they're in the water.

Comments = As you can see in installing the flounder lights in the crate, it sits between
the rear of my seat and the battery (in a dry box). I use an aluminum bar to securely hold
in place the crate in my Predator. When the flounder lights are not being used (in daylight
obviously) I use them to store my two tackle box trays. Then I fasten the mesh net to
keep everything securely in place and this can easily be accessed while I am sitting down.
So there you have it, my rigging idea for my flounder light set up (please excuse the messy
garage folks). I refuse to drill or glue anything on my SINK that I love to death. I can raise
and lower these babies to adjust the depth and height in water or to keep my SINK from
dragging as I paddle from one place to another. There are so many modifications I
designed but this is probably the most improvised of the few I designed. A lot of thought
went into this and if you need any help, please PM me on this or 2 cool fishing (same
screen name) and I'll gladly help you any way I can. -Hector
