Im looking for ideas on handheld flounder lights, getting tired of the lantern. Please post your ideas.

Thanks

Hey I will post some pics of our set up! It is easy to use and throws out some good light!

Hi From New Zealand



We may be able to help. We are a fishing tackle manufacturing company in New Zealand and developed some hand held gigging lights here because the old style kerosene and white spirit lanterns were too dangerous and cumbersome and the mantles too fragile.



We have found there is no good reason to put up with the old lights as the new ones actually cover more area more quickly. We sent some of the early models to the US and got some great feedback and have just recently brought out a new model, which has four times to twelve times the light output of the earlier model.



Each of the new flounder gigging lights has a 3 watt Cree LED bulb which emits a massive 200 lumens of light (*Lumens are the common measure of light emitted)

The new flounder gigging lights are rechargeable, modular and are mounted on a telescopic handle. Best of all you get to choose how much light you want! Up to three of the new lights can be mounted to the handle for a blinding total of 600 lumens of light output.









We sent quite a few of our hand held flounder gigging lights to the US and they seem to work just as well there as they do here.







The report above was sent in from Florida

THE THREE FLOUNDER LIGHT OFFERS AT HALF PRICE HAVE BEEN TAKEN UP. Thanks for all the offers from flounder fishers willing to help and apologies to those who were unsuccessful. I look forward to getting some reports in from your part of the world from those who were successful.





Thanks for looking at our light page. We are really keen to get these new lights tested in your waters under your conditions and could do a deal on a few of these lights that gives us a win-win outcome.



I have given fishing stuff away in the past to people who promise to get back to us with a report and some photos but few ever do - I think many have been armchair fishermen who do all their fishing on the net!



So, if you are in an active flounder gigger, the offer I propose is to sell one of these lights to you at half price on the condition that you report back to us soon after receiving the light. The report should include photos and an unbiased report on how the light performs under your conditions in your fishery. We must be free to publish any report and photos on our website if we choose to.



After you have reported back I will send you a free second torch only with a rubber bracket so that you will always have a spare or can use two at the same time. If any others in this forum want the same deal I could let two others have it. If you don't wish to take me up on the offer - or if others are interested let me know. However because I am trying to run a business I will limit this offer to three active flounder giggers from this forum.

I would be interested in seeing one of your lights. We are a manufacturer of lean rails and lights for local boats. Also I lived in Christchurch for 4 years.

As you can see in the pic we don't supply the light itself. Don,t know if your light could be made to work in a boat situation but would be curious to see.

mmmmflounder

are these lights to be used underwater

barnsie

One of the benefits of these lights is they can run underwater (they are guaranteed waterproof to 33 feet deep) and the lens is impervious to thermal shock so they can be run out of the water and immersed when running without cracking the lens. The advantage of this is you can run it out of the water with the telescopic handle fully extended to floodlight a wide arc if the water is a bit muddy or immerse it as you are wading if the water is clear. If you read all the information on the page here

It better explains all the advantages of these prawn, crab, squid and flounder gigging lights

Hi Breeze



I haven't tried using the new lights from my boat yet but plan to rig up four or five of them on a light bar and test it out in the Whangarei Harbour. There are a few flounder around at the moment but I usually wade for them.



I don't know why, but in New Zealand gigging from boats is almost unheard of, everybody wades for them.



If the lights work well from my 16ft Brooker Boat I will get back in touch with you regarding seeing if they work in your fishery from flounder boats.



Good to see another kiwi in this forum, the size of the flounder you get over there are so much bigger than ours, do they taste as good?
