Thread: Submersible green led light

Old Vaccium Cleaners Have Good cords, That can be used and last a long time.

That's a good idea except I dont have an old vacuum cleaner laying around. Wonder if my wife will miss the cord if I cut it off. lol
Guess I can just use an old extension cord as well, was just wondering what he used, I'm going to make 2 of them for a trip to lake Champlain in July. New to crappie fishing and want to try it up there at night.

I used direct burial low voltage wire for sprinkler systems. I found it at Home depot. Most auto parts have the male cigarette plugs. Radio Shack has one that clips on with spring connectors inside. No soldering needed. They seem to hold up well and the connection can be remade on the boat if needed.

Hello: Looks great. Even if it doesn't work I still want one. Never used a light before but I will try it this season. Any tips on using one ? Good Luck this season if it ever gets here. O - R

I seen that low voltage wire after I posted and was wondering if that's what you used. Couple other questions if you don't mind. How did you keep the 3/4" pipe from moving around inside? I also ordered the string of LEDs (16'), you only used 8' in this light?
Thanks Jack for all the help.

The 3/4" pipe is a fairly close fit, it doesn't have much room to move. That being said I still put some silicone in the bottom and the top of the main tube to keep it secure and prevent movement. Yes I only used 1/2 of the 16' string. The other half got leads soldered to it and used in another light.

Thanks Jack for all your help. Looking forward to trying this on lake Champlain this year.

Most welcome. Best of luck to ya.
