Sword Light White in color

Flyin By · 09-25-2006, 11:51 AM

Question? I have a green sword light which I like. My friend wants to buy one in white. The reason is the dual use for using it for snapper.
Have any of you used white for swording or had success? Thanks

we dont use white, but have heard mixed reviews. We like the green on top and shallow.

we have had many many fish swim through out light... although I doubt the color makes a difference...

good luck

Used a UV White and man is it blinding...Ran it half the night and caught a fish

yeah it works. white light atracts alot of squid, green is better for the tinkers.

We use the white light all the time it is fine. I put it a little lower in the water colum so it is not blinding.

I've caught a few fish on white LP's, so a white swordlight should work good too imo

White is not the best for your night vision so keep it in the water and you're fine.

We have a high output White/green combo that's a little shorter making it even more sturdy.

White is like a disco light in that all colors of the spectrum are contained in a "white" light.

That was the problem, I took it out to put it on the other side of the boat and got "Blinded By The Light" if you will.

I must get that shorty green and white soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm calling Jim later

:lol: Just ordered a Green light from Tek yesterday for my Bud, It works for me. He was just looking to use it for more then just Swords. I am putting a white light down next time for a test run.
I also picked up Purple light sticks for a test also. Cant wait for a weather break, need more meat.
