Answer:
Every battery is different and the amount of time you can burn the lights vary. It is
extremely important that you use a "Deep Cycle" battery and not a "Marine Starting"
battery. For more information click on the links below:

Question: How many lights should I use?
Answer:
In our opinion it's always better to (2) lights compared to (1) light in most circumstances.
Using two lights spread 3' to 4' apart will give you a much wider radius of light, will allow
more fisherman to fish in different zones of the light.
Using (2) lights will also let you experiment with different colors so you can see which light
and one green light will let you see which light is attracting the most bait-fish at that
particular time. Once you see which color is attracting the most fish, you can switch both
lights to the same color.

Question: What's the difference a SMD3528 LED and a SMD 5050 LED?
Answer: Simply put, the SMD3528 LED is smaller and has (1) light emitting piece where
as the SMD5050 LEDis larger and has (3) light emitting pieces. So, just because a light
has fewer LEDs does not mean it isn't as bright. The type of LED and color temperature
of the LED is what determines the brightness. Our DockPro 2600 uses (126) SMD5050
LEDs and is rated at 2600 lumen's and our SuperBrite 2400 uses (480) SMD3528 LEDs
and is rated at 2400 lumens. So the type of LED is very important when buying a light.

Question: How much weight does it take to submerge your lights?
Answer: None
All of our lights utilize a built in ballast. It is not necessary to add any additional weight to
submerge them.

Question: I fish the ocean and need to get the light down for it to work. What
depth can you go to without problems? Can add on to the power-cords?
Answer: The lights will not leak at depths of at least 50'. However, longer lengths will
cause less current to flow to the lamp and therefore brightness will decrease. Also, most
people do not like fishing them too deep because the fish tend to wrap around the power
cords when reeling them in. The power-cords are cut to the length that optimizes the
brightness of the lights under all conditions and we do not recommend adding to them.

Question: Why don't you have 4' fluorescent models to compete with other
companies who make them?
companies who make them?
Since fluorescent light use a ballast which tends to go bad after a few months we elected
to build the SuperBrite 4800 LED light instead. LED lights do not use a ballast and are
not susceptible to cold water like fluorescent lights are.

Question: I bought two Magnum lights from you this summer and was very
pleased with them. I just ordered another 2, so that should tell you i was
pleased. I do have one question. I keep them in the chesapeake bay. Lots of
silt and general muck. If i dont pull the lights every other week or so and clean
them and the silt that attaches to the growth. Is there something i can do to cut
down on this. Any thoughts? Thanks for the help Clarke

Answer: Unfortunately, allege like fish, love the warm water that's circulating in and
around the light. Allege is worse in some water than others and tends to form between
to remove the lights every couple weeks and clean them to maintain maximum
brightness. Barnacle's can also cause the light to look dimmer than it is if the light is not
cleaned on a regular basis. One solution may be to use our new DockPro 1700-AC
LED light and mount it just above the water to keep it clean.

Question: I have a cigarette lighter in my boat, can I plug the light into it?
Answer: Not recommended for Halogen Lights. LED lights will be fine.
Our halogen lights come with standard alligator battery clips that are designed to attach
directly to a battery. We use only alligator clips on our halogen lights because many 12v
outlets on boats are not wired or fused to accept a sustained high amperage draw from the
battery. If you replace the alligator clips with a plug, be sure the circuit is fused so damage
can not occur to your boats wiring. You can choose between a cigarette plug and battery
clips on our Magnum and AquaStar LED lights. LED lights have such low amperage draw,
using a cigarette plug will be no problem with any boat.

Question: Why do your lights cost so much less than other lights?
Question: How long will a light run off of a battery?
Question: Will the lights work during the daytime?
Answer: No
Unfortunately, in order for lights to attract plankton which is what attracts the bait fish, they
can not be competing with the sunlight shining down on the water. Therefore, fishing lights
are only effective at night.

Question: Do you have longer cords for the DOCKPRO 1700AC? Do you make a
DOCKPRO 2600 AC? (not DC)...BRIGHTER?? I have a 60 ft dock, 8 ft wide, 7
pilings 15 feet deep..what do you recommend for total coverage?
DOCKPRO 2600 AC? (not DC)...BRIGHTER?? I have a 60 ft dock, 8 ft wide, 7
pilings 15 feet deep..what do you recommend for total coverage?
Answer:
Unfortunately, all of our lights come with 25' power-cords. We sell such a high volume of
lights...our power cords come pre-cut from the wire factory so we do not have bulk wire
to make custom length cords. We will have an optional 25' "Pick-A-Plug" extension cord
coming in March that will allow you to add on to any of the 12VDC AlumiGlow lights.
Our new "AlumiGlo" DockPro Series and SuperBrite Series LED lights would be our
recommended lights for any type of dock use.
The DockPro 1700-AC is the only "AC" powered LED light we have and the brightest as
this time. The DockPro 2600-DC is a White light and we are able to use a higher wattage
LED for White only. At the current time we do not have a 120VAC 2600 model
available. You can use our "Pick-A-Plug AC to DC converter with the 2600-DC which
is a little more expensive but does allow you to use the brighter model.
The DockPro lights are designed to be mounted above the water and while you can use
the lights underwater for short periods...they are not designed to be a permanently
mounted underwater. The big advantage to mounting them horizontally just above the
water is that you don't ever have to clean them. Algae and barnacle's are a big problem
with anything that is in the water for an extended time...lights included. If you mount the
lights underwater...you will need to clean them every couple of weeks to keep them clean.
Mounting the lights above the water is as easy as screwing two clips into the face of your
dock and snapping the lights in place. You can then rotate the lights up or down to direct
the light in the area you want to illuminate.
The great thing about these lights is you can use you imagination and mount them
anywhere. They are great for Docks, Piers, Bridges or even lighting up Ice Shacks, Boat
Houses and other isolated locations where power isn't available.
Our 48" SuperBrite 4800 LED light is the brightest LED light we have at 4800 lumens,
but it to is a 12VDC light and would need a converter to use with 120VAC. The
SuperBrite lights are 360 degree radius lights and are designed to be hung vertically off the
side of a dock or boat.
We also have the 120VAC Magnum Dock Light which is a 300-watt halogen light.
These lights are only 15" long but put out 4800 lumens of light and have been very popular
for years. The downside to the halogen lights is that they utilize a "replaceable" inner glass
globe that can be broken if hit hard enough by fish or other foreign objects in the water.
