Can I increase or decrease the bulb power on my system?

How do your boaters lights operate on 12v DC or 120 volt AC?
With an optional 12 volt DC power inverter. This allows for operation on 12v DC (battery). Removing the inverter allows for 120v AC operation. This design makes them more versatile than 12 volt DC only systems. This versatility allows the user to take these lights from boat to land and use at any dock or seawall with a 120 volt outlet. No need to take a battery or charger for power.

What is the"cord float" offered with the boaters lights?
Keep in mind the light is weighted and will descend until it's tied off or the float is used. So as the bobber is to the fish hook, the float is to the light. Simply place the float on the cord for a desired depth and release in the water. Allow the light to drift away from the boat. The light will stay afloat at the predetermined level. Now, sit back and watch the fish gather! It's that easy!

Can I use the boaters light in my dingy or john boat?

What is remote fishing?
Remote fishing is using a battery jumper pack to take the light to an area a boat can't get to. Some are walking islands and placing the light around mangroves. Then stand back and wait for fish to come. Others use them off bridges or piers. The DC100 can last more than 20 hours on a jumper pack. Light your house when power goes out! Take it on a road trip for a service light or in case of an emergency.
