LED fishing lights are an efficient tool for nighttime sea fishing or deep-sea fishing. They can attract fish using a specific spectrum and greatly increase the catch. Different fish have different sensitivities to light, so choosing the right wavelength and power for fishing lights is crucial.
Let’s take a look at the phototropism of common fish and the characteristics that high-quality underwater fishing light should have.
Fish Attracted by LED Fishing Lights
- Squid, octopus (cephalopods)
These mollusks are most sensitive to blue light (450-480nm) and green light (520nm), especially squids like to gather around cool-toned light sources. Many professional anglers use high-power blue LED underwater lights to attract large schools of squid.
- Sardines, saury (small clustering fish)
These fish prefer blue-green light because they often move in shallow or mid-water areas and are easily attracted to cool-toned light.
Using high-brightness underwater fishing lights can form a “fish-attracting area” where fish gather.
- Tuna, Bonito (large migratory fish)
Predatory fish such as tuna will follow small schools of fish, so they are indirectly affected by fish-attracting lights. High-penetration white light or blue-white light can attract bait fish, which in turn lures tuna to approach.
- Snapper, Grouper (bottom fish)
These fish respond better to warm yellow light (around 600nm), especially when operating near the coast or reef areas, where yellow light can better penetrate turbid waters and attract schools of fish.
Features of High-quality Underwater LED Fishing Lights
- Adjustable spectrum: Advanced fishing lights (such as YFFY AF240/480W LED Fishing Light) support multi-color temperature switching to meet the needs of different fish species.
- High brightness & low power consumption: High-power LED lights (such as 240W-480W) can cover a wider area while maintaining energy saving.
- Waterproof & corrosion-resistant: Professional-grade underwater LED fishing lights must be IP68 waterproof and adapt to deep-sea high pressure and salt spray environments.
- Long life & stability: The life of high-quality LED lamp beads can reach more than 50,000 hours, reducing the trouble of frequent replacement.
How To Choose Fishing Lights According To The Scene?
- Nearshore/small boat fishing → Medium & low power (100W-200W) blue-green light
- Deep-sea fishing/large fishing boats → High power (300W or more) multi-spectrum underwater LED lights
- Squid fishing/professional trapping → Pure blue light or blue-green mixed light
Choosing the right underwater LED fishing lights can significantly improve the efficiency of night fishing. Different fish species have very different preferences for the spectrum.
The reasonable use of LED fish-gathering light technology can make fishing more efficient. For professional users who need high power and multi-spectrum adjustment, you can consider high-wattage dimmable fishing lights to adapt to different fishing ground environments.
