| PVC Flounder Light Kit (for light above) |
| If you don't have the time or tools needed to build your own lights, you can purchase a PVC light kit from us that will let you build a light like the one pictured below. The only thing the kit does NOT include is the 3/4" PVC used for the handle (because everyone likes to custom make their light to fit their own need) and the light. The light kit can be purchased to fit the Magnum or the AquaStar models. NOTICE: The kits come with all the PVC parts you need to assemble the light below except the 3/4" PVC used for the handle and the halogen light of your choice (order lights separately below) The battery clips have to be removed in order to run the power-cord thru the PVC. |

| Made Easy! |
| Price $12.00 |
Our 100-watt AquaStar White fishing lights are the #1 selling Flounder and Lobster
lights in the U.S.A. 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 15' 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.
Our suggestion is to try the light vertically and horizontally and see which method
works best for you.

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, go to your local hardware store and pick up a piece of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC and a piece of 3/4" schedule 40 PVC. The 1.25" PVC is used as the glare shield and the 3/4" PVC is used as the handle. Cut the glare shield to the lengths shown in the picture below. |
| Besides the glare shield, you will need the following items: (1) 1.25" 90 degree PVC elbow. (1) 3/4" 45 degree PVC elbow (1) 1.25" to 3/4" reducer for handle and 6" riser. (1) 3/4" PVC End Cap (will need to drill a 1/4" hole in center for power-cord). (1) 8' piece of 3/4" schedule 40 PVC for the handle and riser. You will also need to purchase either an AquaStar White or a Magnum White to use with the PVC. Most people prefer the AquaStar because it is smaller and easier to handle and it require less amperage to run. |

| 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. |
| NOTICE: The lights come with battery clips attached to the power-cord and will have to be removed in order to slide the power-cord thru the PVC. |
