Homemade underwater fishing lights...

Would yo happen to know how much weight it took to get light down to about 6'. Guessing that would be the right dept.

Going to be a trial and error thing. Clear vs dirty vs salt is all going to have an effect on buoyancy. Best thing is to tie a float the desired height above the light and put your weight on the light.

does it mater if you sink them, or would they work just as good if it is floating? saltwater fishing of course

I would think sinking just below surface would be best. While these lights are pretty bright, the surface of the water would reflect much of the light.

Finally dropped one in our 18' pool to test.

Be glad to put them in salt water and see how they do.

its common sense really the surface would spread the light the farthest since the bottom wouldn't reflect the light and it would block 50% of the light from going out.

even sitting vertical on the bottom the light cant spread out in a circular pattern because once again the bottom stops it.

it depends on the water depth but from just below the surface to the top 1/3 third of the water column would seam to be the best position

Just completed my battery test (kinda). Kept my light connected for 14 hours straight. Disconnected at 9:00pm. So I should get at least 7 hours with 2 lights which should be more than enough.
