The Swamp Eye® Submersible LED Flounder Gigging Light is a high-output, underwater-only fishing light engineered for maximum visibility, durability, and reliability in harsh saltwater environments. Purpose-built for flounder gigging, it delivers an extremely powerful 19,500-lumen wide flood beam that illuminates the bottom clearly, helping anglers spot more fish in both clear and muddy water.

Unlike fixed-output underwater lights, the Swamp Eye® Submersible features adjustable color-tone output, allowing anglers to fine-tune visibility based on water clarity and bottom conditions. Transition smoothly from a warm, HPS-style white to a cool LED white to reduce glare, improve contrast, and reveal flounder that would otherwise remain hidden.

Developed with direct input from professional flounder guides and commercial fishermen, this light is built to survive real-world abuse. A removable, impact-resistant protective shield adds an extra layer of defense when running over shell, reefs, or debris in shallow water. The all-aluminum construction and marine-grade components ensure long-term durability without the risk of mixed-metal corrosion or electrolysis.

While purpose-built for flounder gigging, the Swamp Eye® Submersible is also widely used for bully netting, lobstering, bowfishing boat setups, and fisheries research. Its versatile mounting options make it one of the most adaptable underwater fishing lights available.

Mounting Ideas for Your Swamp Eye Submersible Light

How to Set Up a Voltage Regulator for 12V Floundering Lights

Which Swamp Eye® Light System Is Right for You?

What makes the Swamp Eye® Submersible different from other flounder gigging lights?

The Swamp Eye® Submersible is a true color-adjustable flounder gigging light, not a fixed-color LED like most flounder lights. It allows you to select between two optimized color outputs or run both simultaneously to create a hybrid tone that works in the majority of water clarities.

In addition, it is the strongest underwater flounder gigging light available, with real-world impact testing—including sledgehammer strikes—proving its unmatched durability. This is a professional-grade light built for abuse, not disposable seasonal use.

Is this a true submersible flounder gigging light?

Yes. The Swamp Eye® Submersible is engineered to operate fully underwater and is purpose-built for:

• Flounder gigging
• Bully netting
• Shallow-water night fishing
• Wade gigging and boat-mounted gigging

It is not an above-water light and has absolutely no surface reflection.

Is this light designed to be used above water?

No. The Swamp Eye® Submersible is engineered exclusively for underwater operation. Running the light above water can cause overheating and potential damage to internal components.

How does the color-adjustable system work?

The light uses:

• Two positive power leads (each controlling a different color)
• One shared negative lead

By wiring a:

• Simple marine toggle switch
• Two-position selector
• Or even alligator clips

You can:

• Run Color A only
• Run Color B only
• Or run both colors together to create a hybrid color tone

This hybrid output is extremely effective in mixed, stained, sandy, or changing water conditions, which is why many users leave both colors on most of the time.

Do I need a special controller to change colors?

No. There is no proprietary controller required.

The system is intentionally simple, reliable, and field-serviceable. Users can utilize simple on/off toggle switches or alligator clamps to change color from warm white to cool white or run both together for a hybrid setting.

Can I adjust the color output while on the water?

Yes. You can switch between colors—or run both—at any time using your installed switch or selector to match changing water clarity, depth, or bottom conditions.

Why is color adjustment important for flounder gigging?

Water clarity, turbidity, and bottom composition change constantly. Fixed-color LED flounder lights often:

• Wash out fish outlines
• Create glare
• Reduce contrast on sandy or muddy bottoms

Color-adjustable flounder lights allow you to:

• Increase contrast
• Reduce reflection
• Spot flounder sooner and more clearly

The Swamp Eye® Submersible gives you real control, not a one-color compromise.

How durable is the Swamp Eye® Submersible?

It is sledgehammer-proof. We literally took a sledgehammer to it...and video'd it. There is no other underwater flounder gigging light on the market with comparable impact resistance.

This makes it ideal for:

• Flounder gigging from boat
• Gigging poles
• Shallow rocky bottoms and oyster beds
• Commercial and guide use

Is this the strongest underwater flounder gigging light available?

Yes—both structurally and functionally.

Most LED flounder lights fail due to cracked housings, impact damage, weak seals, or cheap extruded or cast bodies. The Swamp Eye® Submersible is built to survive direct physical abuse, not just water exposure.

Can this light be used for bully netting?

Absolutely. It is one of the best bully netting lights available.

Its fully submersible design, wide usable beam, color control, and extreme durability make it ideal for netting bait, scanning bottoms, and working shallow tidal water at night.

Is this light good for wade fishing?

Yes. The Swamp Eye® Submersible is commonly used for walking or wading and gigging. Its compact size and rugged construction make it ideal for handheld, pole-mounted, or wading setups.

What mounting options are available?

The Swamp Eye® Submersible can be mounted to:

• Flounder gigging boats with clamp-on or bolt-on universal adapter poles
• Trolling motors (via Trolling Motor Adapter)
• Gig poles and wading sticks

All mounting uses standard marine hardware.

What power source does the Swamp Eye® Submersible use?

The light runs on 12V DC power, making it compatible with:

• Boat batteries
• Portable battery packs
• Dedicated flounder gigging battery setups

No generator is required.

What type of battery should I use?

The light works best with 12V sealed lead-acid batteries.

Lithium batteries can be used, but if your lithium battery exceeds 13.6V when fully charged, a voltage regulator is strongly recommended to prevent damage.

Will this work in muddy or stained water?

Yes—this is exactly why the color-adjustable system exists.

By switching colors or running a hybrid tone, visibility is dramatically improved in:

• Muddy water
• Tannin-stained water
• Sandy bottoms
• Mixed clarity conditions

Is this better than cheap LED flounder lights?

Yes—by a wide margin.

Cheap LED flounder lights are typically fixed color, crack easily, fail after impacts, and are often disposable. The Swamp Eye® Submersible is a professional-grade flounder gigging light built to last season after season.

Is this light only for flounder gigging?

No. While optimized for flounder gigging, it is also widely used for:

• Bully netting
• Night shoreline fishing
• Shallow-water scanning
• Other flatfish and bottom species
• Sheepshead gigging
• Lobstering
• Bowfishing support lighting
• Fisheries research
• Search and rescue lighting

Is this light safe for saltwater use?

Yes. The Swamp Eye® Submersible Flounder Gigging Light is purpose-built for harsh saltwater environments.

• The housing is constructed from solid aluminum
• All mounting and structural components use all-aluminum hardware to eliminate galvanic corrosion and electrolysis over long-term saltwater exposure
• No mixed metals are used in critical areas, preventing common corrosion failures seen in cheaper lights
• All wiring is marine-grade, aerospace-grade, designed to withstand moisture, vibration, and prolonged submersion
• Electrical connections utilize solder-in-place construction, not crimp-only or push-fit connectors that fail in saltwater

Every detail of the Swamp Eye® Submersible was engineered with long-term saltwater reliability in mind—no shortcuts, no overlooked failure points. This is a flounder gigging light built to survive years of real-world saltwater use, not just a few trips.

Is wiring complicated?

No. Installation is straightforward and compatible with common marine connectors such as solder-seal connectors or alligator clips. The system works for both permanent and removable setups.

What happens if the light gets damaged?

The Swamp Eye® Submersible includes:

• 1-year manufacturer warranty for defects
• Lifetime damage support

If repair is possible, we’ll fix it. If replacement is required, we split the cost with you—something no disposable flounder light can offer.

Why should I choose the Swamp Eye® Submersible over other flounder lights?

Because no other flounder gigging light combines:

1. True color adjustment
2. Hybrid color capability
3. Unmatched physical durability

This is not just another LED flounder light—it’s a purpose-built tool for serious flounder fishermen.
