Mounting Ideas for Your Mini Swamp Eye Submersible Light
The Mini Swamp Eye Submersible Lights are a great option for times when you need a light that can run above water, underwater, or is just subject to a whole lot of both. These lights are extremely resilient and are very bright for their compact size. Their low power draw makes them perfect to mount on any boat or even a flounder gig pole for wading and gigging. We've even seen people run these swamp eye flounder lights off the back of their boat to light up the wake behind them. The options are endless with these tough, compact, and bright LED lights.

Wading and Flounder Gigging Light
One of the most common uses for the Mini Swamp Eye Submersible is for walking the shore gigging flounder. It can easily run on a 12V deer feeder battery for a night of sticking fish. It can be used above or below water, and the bright light works great for lighting up flounder or for helping avoid stepping on stingrays or foreign objects.
Flounder Gigging Boat Light
If you're flounder gigging, you may need to run lights both above water and below water. The Mini Swamp Eye Submersible is capable of running either way and the compact nature of these lights means they don't take up much space on the front of your boat.
Bowfishing Boat Light
Most bowfishing boats opt for our Swamp Eye Light Bar for bowfishing light, but some will still use the Mini Swamp Eye Submersible because of how compact they are. For similar reasons, we've also had customers mount our Mini Swamp Eye's in tight-fit spaces where they happen to have shadows with their current bowfishing lights. Another common mounting method for bow fishermen is to mount them to their trolling motor with a 1/4-inch U bolt to give them a better underwater view.

Hi Greg – we have not personally used them but we have had several customers use them with great success. We have a photo on one of our blog posts showing where a custom used them to attach 2x swamp eye submersibles to their paddle board.

Have you used a sea sucker mount to attach light to the side of the boat?

I am looking at the mini and portable boat mount. Have you guys had anyone use them above water to bring in trout? A buddy and I have had success with everything from some cheap leds I wired up and even just strapping some head laps to his boat. But we are looking for something more put together (my wiring and set up is hit or miss). That being said we found some places where the trout will come to them. What wiring options does the mini come with or yall sell?

Hi Bryan – a 12v 10 Ah battery will power a Mini Swamp Eye Submersible all night long. That is the most common size battery most people will use when out wading and gigging with their Mini Swamp Eye Submersible Flounder Light.

Approximately, how long will a 12V 10Ah battery power the mini swamp eye?
