We recommend red LED hunting lights for night hunting. Although most predators and varmints are color blind, the green LED hunting lights cast a much more apparent shadow that predators and varmints alike are more likely to see. Green LED light is easier for the human eye to pick up on but predators such as coyotes, bobcats, fox, and mountain lions have pristine vision that allows them to pick up on shadows casted by the green light. The mellow nature of red LED lights does not cast a significant shadow and are very difficult for the most prized predators to pick up on. As for white hunting lights and spotlights, they are beneficial for spotting animals at long range but they are not beneficial for staying under the radar.

Switching to battery-powered bowfishing lights may seem like a big transition, but with the right approach and equipment, it can be a seamless upgrade. Here&#x2019;s a step-by-step guide to help you make the switch:<h3 data-end="302" data-start="268" style=" text-decoration: none;" id="1-assess-your-power-needs">1. Assess Your Power Needs</h3>The first step is to determine how much power you&#x2019;ll need to run your bowfishing lights. Start by considering:<ul data-end="897" data-start="415" style=" text-decoration: none;"><li data-end="543" data-start="415">The number of lights: How many lights do you plan on using? This can be determined based on the size of your boat and how much illumination you ultimately desire. Our most common light setup is 4x Swamp Eye Silent Series on smaller boats (16 ft and below) and 6x-8x Swamp Eye Silent Series on Larger Boats (18-22 ft). We sell the Swamp Eye Silent Series Light <a href="https://outriggeroutdoors.com/products/swamp-eye-silent-series-bowfishing-light" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">individually</a> or in <a href="https://outriggeroutdoors.com/products/swamp-eye-silent-series-bowfishing-light-kit" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">bowfishing light kits</a>.

Our Swamp Eye Silent Series Bowfishing Lights draw 70 watts each. This is crucial because it will help you calculate how much battery capacity you&#x2019;ll need.</li><li data-end="897" data-start="711">The duration of your fishing trips: How long do you plan to bowfish at night? Do you pan to do 24 hour tournaments? Fun fish? You&#x2019;ll have to determine your battery capacity required based on how many lights you have.&#xA0;</li></ul><h3 data-end="934" data-start="899" style=" text-decoration: none;" id="2-choose-the-right-battery">2. Choose the Right Battery</h3>Once you&#x2019;ve assessed your power needs, it&#x2019;s time to select a battery that fits. For bowfishing lights, deep-cycle batteries&#xA0;are the best option. Here&#x2019;s why:<ul data-end="1842" data-start="1097" style=" text-decoration: none;"><li data-end="1345" data-start="1097">Deep-cycle batteries are designed to provide a steady amount of power over a long period. Unlike regular car batteries, which provide short bursts of high power, deep-cycle batteries are ideal for applications where sustained power is needed.</li><li data-end="1842" data-start="1346">Battery type options: You&#x2019;ll have a few different battery options to choose from:<ul data-end="1719" data-start="1436"><li data-end="1534" data-start="1436">Lead-acid batteries: These are affordable but heavier and less efficient than newer options.</li><li data-end="1716" data-start="1537">Lithium-ion batteries: More expensive but lighter, longer-lasting, and more efficient.

Determine the Battery Capacity (Amp-Hours)</h3>The capacity of a battery is measured in amp-hours (Ah), which indicates how much power the battery can supply over time. For instance:<ul data-end="2479" data-start="2039" style=" text-decoration: none;"><li data-end="2123" data-start="2039">A 100Ah battery can supply 1 amp of current for 100 hours or 10 amps for 10 hours.</li><li data-end="2479" data-start="2124">You can calculate your required battery capacity by using the formula:Required&#xA0;Battery&#xA0;Capacity&#xA0;(Ah)=Total&#xA0;Wattage&#xA0;of&#xA0;Lights&#xD7;Hours&#xA0;of&#xA0;UseBattery&#xA0;Voltage&#xA0;(12V&#xA0;or&#xA0;24V) Required&#xA0;Battery&#xA0;Capacity&#xA0;(Ah)= Number of Lights x Wattage of Lights /&#xA0;Battery Voltage (12V or 24V) &#xD7; Hours&#xA0;of&#xA0;UseThis formula will give you an estimate of the battery capacity needed to run your lights for the desired amount of time.<ul data-end="2479" data-start="2039"><li data-end="2479" data-start="2124">Example: 6x Swamp Eye Silent Series Lights (70 watts each, 12/24V DC compatible) Running on 24 Volt DC: Amperage = 70 Watts / 24 Volts = 2.9 amps (each light) 6x Swamp Eye Silent Series x 2.9 amps each = 17.4 amps total draw Required Battery Capacity (Ah) = 6 Lights x 70W / 24V x 10 hours run time = 175 Amp Hours.&#xA0;(In order to get 10 hour run time, you need 175 amp hours of battery capacity) Calculation based on Conventional Deep Cycle Battery (120 Amp Hours) = 120 Amp hours / 17.4 total amp draw ~ 6.9 hour run time.&#xA0;(A typical commercially available 120 amp hour deep cycle battery will get you approximately 6.9-7 hours of run time)</li></ul></li></ul>&#xA0;<h3 data-end="2524" data-start="2481" style=" text-decoration: none;" id="4-choose-the-right-battery-charger">4.

The Mini Swamp Eye Submersible and Swamp Eye Submersible Lights come standard as being able to run on batteries that output 12-13 volts DC. If you want to run these lights on a voltage beyond this - including running on lithium batteries (which can have a spike in voltage to 14+ volts when coming off a fresh charge) or drill batteries (18-20 volt) or trolling motor batteries (24 volt or 36 volt) and so forth, you will need a voltage regulator.&#xA0;Here is an article that will walk you through how to hook these lights up to a voltage regulator: <a href="https://outriggeroutdoors.com/blogs/flounder-gigging/how-to-set-up-a-voltage-regulator-for-12v-floundering-lights?_pos=1&amp;_sid=8f6196c51&amp;_ss=r" id="isPasted">https://outriggeroutdoors.com/blogs/flounder-gigging/how-to-set-up-a-voltage-regulator-for-12v-floundering-lights?_pos=1&amp;_sid=8f6196c51&amp;_ss=r</a>

If your Swamp Eye HD Bowfishing Lights or Swamp Eye Silent Series Lights or Swamp Eye Gen 2.X Light Bars are flickering, the issue is most likely related to the voltage they are receiving. In order to solve this problem, you will need to do one of two things:1.) If running on generator - bond your generator. You can test to see if this is indeed the issue by plugging your lights into a wall outlet instead of your generator. If the flicker goes away when you do this, then bonding your generator will solve the problem. Here is a complete guide on how to bond your generator: <a href="https://outriggeroutdoors.com/blogs/bowfishing/how-to-bond-a-portable-generator-for-bowfishing-and-gigging?_pos=1&amp;_sid=9f80a4538&amp;_ss=r" id="isPasted">https://outriggeroutdoors.com/blogs/bowfishing/how-to-bond-a-portable-generator-for-bowfishing-and-gigging?_pos=1&amp;_sid=9f80a4538&amp;_ss=r</a>2.) Check your control extension leads. If you have a bunch of control extension leads hooked together on a long line, it can result in a voltage drop on the control signal that tells the lights what to do (turn on/off, adjust color, etc.) and this can result in a slight flicker. You can eliminate this problem by shortening the number of control extensions you have on one continuous line of lights, or break the lights up to be controlled by more than 1 dial or bluetooth controller. You can rule this problem out by plugging the control dial directly into the light that is flickering to see if the issue goes away.&#xA0;One of these two solutions should solve your problem!

Voltage Regulators are designed to take power from a wide range of voltages and convert it to one stable voltage for use in electronic components - such as flounder gigging, bully netting, fishing and bowfishing lights in our case.The two products we have that benefit the most from voltage regulators are the Mini Swamp Eye Submersible and Swamp Eye Submersible Lights. These lights are 12 volt driverless LED lights that cannot take higher than 13 volts or else it will risk burning out LED chips. Therefore, on these two products we recommend utilizing a battery that outputs no higher than 13 volts DC. If you hook your battery to a charger or alternator while running these lights, there&apos;s a chance that your charger or alternator could output a voltage higher than 13 volts - thus you may need a voltage regulator. These lights perform best with lead acid batteries if you do not want to use a voltage regulator. However if you plan to use lithium batteries, drill batteries, or any battery type that outputs beyond 13 volts, you will need to use a voltage regulator.&#xA0;If you would like to avoid using a voltage regulator, you can use the Swamp Eye Silent Series Bowfishing Lights or Swamp Eye Gen 2.X Light Bars. These two lights which are commonly used for bowfishing, flounder gigging, night fishing, bully netting among many other things have built-in drivers that allow them to take a range of voltages from 12 to 24 volts DC. The actual range of voltage that these lights can accept as input is 10-30 volts DC. It does not matter if you use lithium or lead acid batteries for these lights.&#xA0;The Swamp Eye HD Bowfishing Lights can also be run on battery. These lights are very high output and due to that, it is best to run them on 24 volt DC batteries. If you run them on a lower voltage than 24 volts, you may experience flickering due to too low of voltage causing high amperage draw. If you run them on a battery setup, it is best to run them with 2x 12 volt batteries in series to form 24 volts or utilize a 24 volt battery. It does not matter whether you use lead acid or lithium batteries for these lights.&#xA0;If you wish to run your lights on a 36 volts or even 48 volt battery setup, you can certainly do that with any of the lights mentioned above but you will need a voltage regulator that will step down the voltage to the appropriate voltage for the light you choose.
