When researching lights, go to the vendor and ask them what science-based features their products offer. Inquire if their light is set up for flotation and anchoring systems. Follow up with an inquiry about their training program. Anglers have been limited to a simple ON/OFF light with short cords.
When you research, our competitors focus on lumens. To them, their fishing light products are just a light source in a waterproof housing. Toss it overboard and start fishing.
NO-NO-NO, HOW you deploy and set the light determines whether you will have success. This is the time to decide your light deployment strategy. Choose the perfect light location and anchor the light to river bottom. Calculate the perfect depth so that you create 3 to 4 feet of unlit water above the light to backlight the targets. Follow the science and force the bottom dwellers to the top of the water column using light frequency. If you have two or more lights, you can manipulate targets using various patterns ullustrated in the light deployment strategies manual.
A random toss of a light in the water will yield random results you cannot repeat consistently. Capt Lee Noga took 15+ years of her research and wrote a pocket booklet illustrating all the ways to set your light(s). Education is the true power, not lumens.
The only multi-mode smart fishing light awarded the highest patent in the USA. Science based to manipulate targets using light frequencies. Sporting a magnet silicon button tocycle through the various modes.
Single mode lamp built with LEDS 6000 lumens pre-build. All fishing lights lose lumens during the build. Metal construction with sealing of the LEDs in acrylic glue. End caps filled with acrylic glue
Fishing lights create a circular light pattern in the water that attracts baitfish and nuisance fish and can deter light-sensitive targets. Large fish will lurk in the shadows outside the light pattern to ambush bait & small fish. Anglers need their fishing lights to have an expanded purpose. The MacDaddy fishing lights are the only fishing lights built with science. Science-driven lights are the future so that anglers can manipulate light-sensitive species to their lines or nets. The angler must have 100% control over where the light lands & sets. Setting the precise depth using our formula (Depth-8) guarantees light-sensitive targets will swim above the light into the unlit water. The science behind this will backlight the targets so that you see them and they do not see you.
Fish do not care about color LEDs. Light-sensitive nocturnal species do not like ANY light of any color, and they tend to swim very deep on the night of the FULL moon,? Why? The natural light from the Full moon is too bright for their comfort. The popular colors are green or white LEDs. The green is favored because it reduces eye fatigue. Staring at a bright white light long term can cause vision problems, headaches, and severe eye fatigue. The new generation MacDaddy fishing lights balance the green LEDs and the smaller quantity of white LEDs together to give you a beautiful, soothing green circular light field with extra depth for visuals. You can enjoy both colors at the same time. The MacDaddy smart light® gives you seven modes cycled by a computer chip in various LED color combinations & strobe frequencies.
Yes. The MacDaddy fishing lights ™ are made with a solid aluminum 14″ frame. The underwater LEDs are sealed in acrylic glue. The end caps are solid-filled with acrylic glue and will not leak. The cord length is 33 feet. You need a light that fishes any environment, from calm freshwater to hostile saltwater. The fishing light does not need 10,000-lumen lights. Lumens are the marketing talking points vendors promote as the most essential part of buying a fishing light. For the most consistent outcome, you need a vertical upright orientation of the light, a light anchoring system, depth control, and light deployment strategies to manipulate your target toward the line or net. The angler is moving away from simplistic “dumb lights” into science-based MacDaddy fishing lights that a fishing Boat Captain innovated in 2016.
Most lights sold have a 25-foot cord. MacDaddy fishing lights ™ have a 33-foot cord. Each fishing light on the market has a lumen and amp value. Lumen claims are unimportant because all lights lose up to 45% of the lumens after waterproofing the LEDs. The longer the cord, the more lumens are lost. Never choose an underwater fishing light based on the lumens advertised. Choose an underwater fishing light based on features embracing proven science-based theories.
Fishing lights can go 100 feet, but the demand is insufficient to produce that size in mass.
Battery life varies by model and usage. The MacDaddy fishing lights™ PRO models are 3 amps and 41 watts. You can use a 8” wide tractor battery (650 crank amps), run 2 lights for 12 hours. The MacDaddy fishing lights ™ ULTRA models are 7 amps, 80 watts and require a full size automobile battery.
MacDaddy Fishing lights™ includes an illustrated booklet showing how to set multiple patterns using up to 3 lights. Creating a goal post pattern will help funnel the targeted species to your line or nets. We don’t just give you a light source (tool); we offer you a toolbox. Proper deployment techniques will prevent you from overpowering light-sensitive marine life. Do not mix MacDaddy fishing lights™ with other brands because their erratic movement can cancel out the stability of a proper light.
The MacDaddy fishing lights™ brand has 1 model, MacDaddy Smart Light ® PRO computer chip driven has seven modes. The white LED mode is the one mode where you can use this light as a tactical light out of water. This light can be a great light source when changing a trailer tire on the roadside. The 33-foot cord can attach to your car battery, and you can lay the lamp on the asphalt. The downside is that the metal frame gets hot and can burn your hands if touched. Please make sure there are no kids near this lamp, it poses a safety hazard to children and pets. Handle the light by the cord.
Most light manufacturers are not anglers and are only manufacturing a light source with NO expanded purpose (light flotation orientation, light anchoring system, depth control, etc). Most light builders can only sell a light source in waterproof housing with a cord. They are not concerned about what or how you deploy the light. That alone is a big red flag. A random light deployment and how it lands could deter a strike or light-sensitive targets, thus sabotaging your night.
The fishing light industry has remained out of step with anglers’ needs for decades because it does not give anglers absolute control. The MacDaddy fishing lights™ provide complete control. The angler can control the orientation of the light in the water column, anchor the light in a specific spot, set the perfect depth of the light, and manipulate marine targets using light deployment strategies. We provide an educational program to simplify how easy it is to infuse science into the hunt.
The best lights are the MacDaddy fishing lights because they are science-based. Deploying a fishing light requires a skill set that is not developed in the other fishing lights on the market, which focus on a light source only. MacDaddy Fishing Lights developed an educational program to ensure the angler reaches their maximum skill set quickly. The research behind the MacDaddy fishing lights gives the anglers the ability to anchor the light, set the proper light depth, and manipulate the targets using light frequencies. Awarded the highest patent in the USA.
