Why Fish Can’t Resist: The Science Behind LED Fish Attracting Lights
It's not magic; it's phototaxis. The incredible effectiveness of LED fish gathering lights isn't an accident—it's built on a deep understanding of marine biology and light physics. We're going under the surface to explain why certain lights work better than others.
The food chain reaction starts with plankton, which are drawn to light. But not all light is created equal.
Penetration is Key: Water absorbs and scatters light. Longer wavelengths (like red and orange) are absorbed quickly. Shorter wavelengths like **green and blue travel farthest and brightest** through salt and fresh water. This is why our high-performance LEDs are engineered to produce a powerful beam of specific blue-green spectra that pierce through murky depths.
Intensity Matters: A bright, intense light creates a larger and more defined "light cone." This acts as a bigger dinner bell, creating a larger aggregation zone that is irresistible to species like squid, baitfish, tuna, and more.
The LED Advantage: Unlike traditional bulbs that emit a broad spectrum of light (including wasted IR and UV), LEDs can be finely tuned to emit the exact wavelengths that marine life is most sensitive to. This makes them not just efficient, but supremely effective.
