I just built the website for the guy who makes these. He got started on "The Hull Truth" and is expanding to other venues. Anyway, I got some of the lights today, and all I can say is WOW! They are awesome!

his website is: CoastalNightLights

lemme know what you think about the webpage if you get a chance to take a look...

Anyway, they're very good quality and worth checking out if you want some underwater lights for night fishing. He's working on some spreaders for topside use as well. I got two of the double-longs to mount each side of the transom and a double-stack one to make a "portable" submersible light from. the cool thing is that they are VERY low amp draw and they will work w/ a regular 9-volt battery if you want to take them to the beach, etc... these are the GREEN ones...











here's one hooked up to a standard 9v battery...






here's the beam pattern - about 4' diameter at a distance of approximately 9'. this pic was taken with the FLASH ON, so that's why the light doesn't appear as bright as it truly is.

Very good product, we got some about a month ago from him. The other night we had probably thousands of little squid and baitfish in the light.

Good job on the website.  They look pretty cool.  I would suggest putting a pictue of the light on and the beam full of bait fish or squid.  That will be the market mostly is fishermen. 

Fish On!!!

thanks on the website. he wanted to keep it simple and straight forward, which is what i'm good at... lol... i build them in basic HTML that i learned years ago. not very flashy, but they work on every browser and load very quickly.


as soon as i get mine on and in the water, there will most definitely be pics of baitfish.

so far, these are the only "customer pics" that have been posted on THT or emailed to him. i hope to have these on for a wet-test this weekend.

lol.... that's what i did - traded lights for building the website and getting things set up for him. it worked out good for both of us - i got some kicka$$ lights for the boat, and he got a fully-functional website designed the way he wanted it for basically very little cost other than his labor to build/assemble the lights. hard to beat that... bartering at it's best!

i thought about dock lights, but these are 12V DC, so to get them to run on 110V AC, you'd need a power inverter - and it's not a problem, but it's just one more thing to worry about. the cool thing about them is the low current draw and low heat so they are prime for battery-operated systems. i'm planning on using the "portable" one that i got on our pier @ ono to see how it does.
