Every angler knows the frustration of waiting hours for a bite, only to realize their lighting setup is failing to attract fish. Whether you’re fishing from a boat at night, a dock at dawn, or in murky coastal waters, the right light can mean the difference between a successful trip and going home empty-handed. That’s where the 10W 12V LED Fishing Light (OEM Model SL116) comes in—engineered to solve the most common pain points anglers face with underwater lighting.
Not all fishing lights are built to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments. Waterproofing is a top concern, but many cheap options claim "waterproof" status only to fail after a few uses. The SL116 isn’t just waterproof; it holds an IP68 rating, the highest standard for dust and water resistance. This means it can be fully submerged for long periods without damage, making it reliable for overnight fishing trips or extended use in rough waters. Unlike flimsy alternatives that short-circuit or dim over time, this light is designed for durability, backed by the manufacturing expertise of Shenzhen Slinya Electronics Co., Ltd., a 17-year veteran in producing specialized fishing gear.
One of the biggest mistakes anglers make is using a one-size-fits-all light for every condition. Clear water requires a different wavelength than murky water, and night fishing demands better penetration than daytime trips. The SL116 eliminates this guesswork with two customizable color options: green and cool white (5000K). Green light is scientifically proven to penetrate deeper and travel farther in low-visibility environments—perfect for night fishing or waters with sediment. Cool white light, on the other hand, enhances bait visibility in clear water, mimicking natural sunlight to draw curious fish. This versatility ensures you’re always using the right light for the job, no matter where or when you fish.
Brightness without efficiency is useless for anglers who rely on battery power. A light that’s too dim won’t attract fish, but one that drains batteries quickly cuts trips short. The SL116 strikes the perfect balance with 500 lumens of output and an efficiency rating of 34 lumens per watt. This means it delivers powerful, fish-attracting brightness while conserving energy, letting you fish longer without worrying about recharging or replacing batteries. Its compact design (16.7 x 2.8cm) and lightweight build (485g) also make it easy to install and transport—no heavy, bulky equipment to weigh you down.
Anglers often overlook the importance of uniform lighting, but fish are drawn to consistent, omnidirectional brightness. The SL116 features 360° omnidirectional lighting, ensuring every angle around your bait or net is illuminated. This eliminates dark spots that might scare fish away and creates a larger attraction zone, increasing your chances of luring schools. Whether you’re mounting it on a dock, attaching it to a fishing line, or securing it to your boat, the light’s even glow mimics bioluminescence—the natural light produced by marine organisms—making it irresistible to predatory fish.
