4. Are Swamp Eye® lights compatible with generators?

Yes. Both the Swamp Eye® HD and Gen 2.X series run great on generator-powered boats.

The HD excels when you need maximum brightness, while the Gen 2.X offers a slimmer, focused-beam profile.

5. What’s the advantage of adjustable color temperature?

Different water types reveal fish differently. Being able to tune the color temperature helps you see more fish in muddy, stained, clear, or deep water. Swamp Eye® lights pioneered this technology and remain the industry leader.

The OutriggerGo™ app gives you advanced control over brightness, color temperature, modes, and presets—letting you tailor your lighting to exact water conditions or target species. For a full walkthrough of features, setup tips, and real-world use cases, see our OutriggerGo™ App Complete Guide.
