The 160W Swamp Eye® HD is our brightest and most capable high-performance bowfishing light, engineered to deliver on-the-water performance comparable to high-wattage halogen and high-pressure sodium systems—while using a fraction of the power.
Developed through years of hands-on use by professional guides, tournament shooters, and commercial operators, this high-output LED bowfishing light delivers consistent, usable performance in muddy, stained, and clear water alike.
Unlike traditional fixed-color bowfishing lights, the Swamp Eye® HD lets you adjust both color tone and brightness on the fly. Dial in the exact output for water clarity, depth, and bottom composition—resulting in less glare, reduced eye fatigue, and more fish spotted earlier.
Built with a marine-grade IP69K waterproof housing, the Swamp Eye® HD is designed to survive saltwater, freshwater, vibration, pressure washing, and long nights on the water. Optimized for generator-powered systems, the Swamp Eye® HD delivers consistent, high-output performance under load, with compatibility for deep-cycle or lithium battery setups when needed.
If you’re looking for a true high-performance bowfishing light—not a disposable import—the 160W Swamp Eye® HD is built to be the last light you ever bolt onto your boat.
Key Features
Adjustable Color & Brightness Control
Gradually adjust 24,000+ lumens from warm white to cool white to optimize visibility in both clear and muddy water conditions.
Flexible Power Options
Optimized for 110/120V AC generator-powered systems, with compatibility for 24V DC battery setups when needed.
While optimized for generator-powered boats, the Swamp Eye® HD can also be run on properly sized 24V battery systems when required.
Low-Profile, Space-Saving Design
Compact housing (12" L × 6" H × 3" D) fits brackets designed for conventional flood lights around 10.5" wide—ideal for tight bows and clean installs.
Wide, Bowfishing-Optimized Flood Pattern
Re-engineered reflector delivers a broad, powerful flood beam comparable to larger lights, without the bulk or wasted light.
This is the closest LED bowfishing light available today to the wide, high-intensity illumination anglers expect from traditional HPS and halogen systems.
Building-Block Wire Harness Compatible
Control multiple lights with one dial—no custom wiring, no headaches, and easy expandability.

Who is the Swamp Eye HD Built for?
The Swamp Eye® HD is built for serious bowfishermen running generator-powered boats who want the most capable lighting system available. It’s designed for anglers who demand maximum brightness, wide coverage, and consistent performance across muddy, stained, and clear water.
These lights are for those who don’t just want performance—they demand strength and rigidity. The brackets are built to take real abuse, from tree limbs smacking the side of the boat to relentless cross-country vibration while traveling from one tournament to the next.
No nonsense. No shortcuts.
The Swamp Eye® HD is built to handle real bowfishing conditions and is designed to be the last set of lights you ever put on your boat.

Product Release Video
The 160W Swamp Eye® HD Bowfishing Light is the next generation of our game-changing color tone adjustable lights. We built this Swamp Eye® bowfishing light from the ground up; with a focus on maximizing brightness, maintaining color-tone adjustability, and minimizing power draw. Whether you're bowfishing, flounder gigging, or running a commercial fishing operation - you can rely on these Swamp Eye® flounder lights to see more fish and outlast freshwater or even harsh saltwater environments.
Re-Engineered from the Ground Up
To accomplish our goal, we had to start from scratch and build from the ground up. We utilize premium high lumen-per-watt LEDs, and completely re-engineered the power distribution and controls from our Swamp Eye® Light Bar to allow for exceptionally high efficiency in converting power into usable light output. Most bowfishing lights have power efficiencies ranging from 40% to 85% on the high end, the 160W Swamp Eye® HD Bowfishing Light operates at a 99% efficiency factor (power factor). These high efficiencies make the light output comparable to most 200+ watt LED lights or 350+ watt High Pressure Sodium Lights, at a fraction of the power consumption.
Adjust on the Fly for Clear or Muddy Water
Our innovative Swamp Eye® series of lights are the first purpose-built flounder gigging and bowfishing lights that can adjust from an HPS-like warm white color (2000k) to a halogen-like cool white color (6000k) in an instant.
These features are one of many reasons you see commercial fishermen, tournament fishermen, professional guides, and State Natural Resource Departments rely on our Swamp Eye® Lights.
Accessory Details:
Swamp Eye HD Protective Cover
The Swamp Eye HD Protective Cover is a great added layer of protection. Here are some key features that make the protective cover a great investment:
- Prevents stray rocks from flying off tires and damaging lenses while boat is trailered from one destination to the next.
- Minimizes weathering and sun exposure when boat is parked.
- Eliminates glare from reflectors while day time fishing.
- Added layer of armor to handle whatever life may throw at it!
Building Block Wire Harness
The building block wire harness is made of a waterproof plug and play system that makes wiring a breeze. You can forget about the days of crimping and soldering wires, this system is user friendly and easy to adjust in the middle of the night.

Estimated Battery Run Time:
Varies depending on amp hour capacity of your battery.
If using a 24V DC battery, divide the amp hour capacity by the 24V amp draw for an estimated run time.
Example: For a 50 Ah 24V Battery, 50 Amp-hours / 6.4 Amps = 7.8 hours Run Time
If using 2x 12V batteries in series, the amp hour capacity of each battery will be added and then divided by 2. The resulting amp hour capacity will be divided by the amp draw to determine the run time of the light.
Example: For 2x 12V 100 Amp Hour Deep Cycle Batteries:
(100 Amp-hours, 12V + 100 Amp-hours, 12V) / 2 = 100 Amp-hours, 24V
100 Amp-Hours / 6.4 Amps = 15.6 hours Run Time (typical amp hour capacity for most deep cycle batteries)

1x Swamp Eye HD Bowfishing Light
1x Standard Mounting Bracket
1x Control Dial
