The Swamp Eye® Gen 2.X Bowfishing Light Bar was engineered to bridge the gap between high-draw generator lights and limited battery-only systems. It delivers powerful, wide flood illumination with adjustable color output—allowing anglers to fine-tune contrast and visibility as water clarity, depth, and bottom composition change throughout the night.

Its low-profile aluminum housing fits cleanly on bows, platforms, and rails where space is limited, while the efficient reflector design minimizes wasted light and shoreline spill. Built to integrate seamlessly with Swamp Eye’s building-block wire harness, the Gen 2.X is easy to expand, reconfigure, and control—without permanent wiring.

120-Watt High-Performance Output

Produces 20,000+ lumens, more than double the first-generation Swamp Eye Light Bar, while maintaining efficient power draw.

Adjustable Color Output (On the Fly)

Smoothly adjust from deep warm white (muddy water) to bright cool white (clear water), with precise control anywhere in between.

Optimized for Battery, Alternator & Hybrid Systems

Designed to run confidently on 12V / 24V DC battery setups, alternators, or hybrid systems—without requiring a generator.

Wide, Even Flood Coverage

Purpose-built reflector delivers a broad, uniform flood pattern that lights the water surface without excessive glare or shoreline spill.

Low-Profile, Space-Saving Design

Slim housing fits tight bows and platforms—ideal for low-profile boats and compact deck layouts.

How to Wire Bowfishing Lights to Battery Like a Pro (12V or 24V DC)

Who is the Swamp Eye® Bowfishing Light Bar best for?

The Swamp Eye® Bowfishing Light Bar is ideal for bowfishermen who want wide, even flood coverage in a compact, low-profile form factor. It’s especially well suited for battery-powered, alternator-powered, and hybrid boats where efficient power draw and clean mounting are priorities.

Do bowfishing light bars actually work for bowfishing?

Yes. Bowfishing light bars are designed to provide continuous, wide-area illumination across the water’s surface. The Swamp Eye® Light Bar uses a purpose-built bowfishing flood pattern to keep usable light on the water, helping eliminate gaps and dark zones common with generic light bars.

Can I run the Swamp Eye® Light Bar on batteries or an alternator?

Yes. The Swamp Eye® Bowfishing Light Bar is optimized for 12V and 24V battery systems and alternator-powered boats, making it a strong option for quiet, generator-free setups.

Does the light bar require a generator?

No. Unlike high-wattage HPS and halogen systems, the Swamp Eye® Light Bar delivers strong usable light with significantly lower power draw, allowing it to run efficiently on battery or alternator systems.

Does a bowfishing light bar create dark spots or glare?

No. The Swamp Eye® Light Bar is engineered with a wide, even flood pattern designed specifically for bowfishing. This helps minimize hot spots, dark gaps, and excessive surface glare that can reduce visibility.

Does it work in muddy, stained, and clear water?

Yes. Adjustable color output allows you to tune from warm white for muddy water to cool white for clear water, and everything in between as conditions change.

Is a bowfishing light bar good for muddy or stained water?

Yes. The Swamp Eye® Light Bar’s flood pattern and efficient output are designed to perform in muddy, stained, and variable water conditions, providing usable light where it matters most.

Is the Swamp Eye® Bowfishing Light Bar waterproof?

Yes. The light bar features a marine-grade waterproof housing designed to withstand freshwater and saltwater use, vibration, spray, and harsh on-water conditions.

Is this light bar safe for saltwater use?

Yes. The Gen 2.X is marine-grade IP68 rated with corrosion-resistant construction designed for harsh freshwater and saltwater environments.

How durable is the Swamp Eye® Bowfishing Light Bar?

The Swamp Eye® Light Bar is built for real bowfishing abuse, including vibration, trailering, impacts, and long nights on the water. Its rugged housing and mounting system are designed for long-term reliability.

Is mounting a bowfishing light bar difficult?

No. The Swamp Eye® Bowfishing Light Bar includes adjustable mounting brackets that make installation straightforward on a wide range of bowfishing boats. Its slim profile allows clean installs even in tight spaces.

What makes the Gen 2.X different from the Swamp Eye® HD?

The Gen 2.X Light Bar is optimized for efficiency, versatility, and battery or hybrid systems, while the Swamp Eye® HD is built for maximum output and ultra-wide-angle coverage on generator-focused setups. Some boats use both depending on available mounting area.

Can I control multiple Gen 2.X light bars with one dial?

Yes. Using the Building Block Wire Harness, you can control multiple light bars from a single dial or split them into separate zones.

Can I control different sections of my boat independently?

Yes. The Building Block Wire Harness allows you to control all lights together or split them into zones (front/back or left/right) for precise on-the-water control.

Why adjustable color instead of fixed white or amber?

Water conditions change constantly. Adjustable color allows you to reduce glare, improve contrast, and maximize visibility, something fixed-color lights can’t do effectively.

Can I add Bluetooth control later?

Yes. The Bluetooth controller can be added at any time, unlocking advanced control through the OutriggerGO™ App, including brightness, color presets, zoning, and custom modes.

Can I expand my system later?

Yes. The modular Building Block Wire Harness allows you to easily add lights, re-zone your boat, or replace components without rewiring your entire system.
