SHAD SURROUNDING THE MAXX LIGHT
The special green led light cuts through the dark water of night, and within minutes microscopic creatures called zoo-plankton begin to home in on the green light source, very much the way insects are drawn to outdoor lighting. Small fish soon follow, attracted by the zoo-plankton.
CRAPPIE COMING TO THE MAXX
Each link in the food chain is followed by the next, over minutes and hours. Soon shad and other bait fish will surround the light, which brings in the crappie and other predatory fish
NEW AND IMPROVED
We have drastically improved the Maxx since it was first introduced in 2016. We doubled the brightness of our leds, we doubled the thickness of our lens, we doubled the cable size, now it is heavy duty black marine cable. We doubled the gland size and the rubber seal, and we doubled the amount of sealant in each light. The only thing we have not increased is the cost!
Proudly made in the USA.
The Maxx like all of our Green Lantern Fishing lights is made right here in the USA by Fire Water Marine.
Our competitors re-badge cheap China made lights, not us each light is built right here in America.

Questions about Fire Water Marine 12V 25" MAXX LED Green Underwater Submersible Night Fishing Light 120 WATT -10,000 LUMENS: Crappie shad Squid Shrimp
Q:
My light got water in it after only two uses and stopped working. Now it is past the return date. Has anyone else had a problem with their light?
Answer: I've had mine for over a year, no problems at all. Fire Water Marine has excellent customer service; I'm sure they will work with you on a return.
Answer: Hello, the lights have a 60 Day full money back guarantee, after that we will replace or repair the light free of charge for 6 months.. Simply contact us through our website. Thank you for your consideration.
Answer: heard of that issue before....so,when I got mine I sealed it real good with clear silicone and it has worked great for quite some time...
Answer: Not very encouraging that the seller didn't respond to this question, did they offer to replace the item?
Q:
Question for seller- can you please sell 25' cord model on amazon please? Ty
Answer: Hello, at this time the 25' cables are only available by direct/special order. Thank you for your consideration.
Q:
Says it come's with a 5 amp fuse..what it the fuse use for? Is there instructions ware to out the fuse?for
Answer: Hello, the fuse is inside the cigarette lighter power plug. You can unscrew the button and replace it. But be careful not to lose any parts as they are spring loaded. Thank you for your consideration.
Answer: The fuse is in case a cross circuit happens and you don’t blow your light up.
Answer: The fuse is to protect your electronic devices in case it shorts out
Q:
How long is the cord and could I use jumper cables to extend it from a high pier?
Answer: The cord is about 16 feet long
Answer: Cord is 15 feet long.
Q:
My light is flashing. How do I set it to static
Answer: It shouldn't flash. Must be something loose or broken.
Q:
will this work in salt water?
Answer: Absolutely yes, I just got mine so haven't used this particular one yet, but I've used a similar one for squid & it worked well.
Q:
Could i use two of these at the same time with a 12v splitter? tia
Answer: Hello, yes you can. A lot of customers do that.
Q:
Does this light float or sink?
Answer: Hello, It sinks, the lights are weighted internally.
Answer: obviously it sinks- 3 people have answered that---however, lately I have seen people suspending them just above or at water level. they were catching more fish than me- and I had mine down about 15'- so as long as your spot is good, and the light can attract the phytoplankton which starts the whole process- I don't think it matters too much where the light is or how deep it is.
Answer: Sinks
Answer: It will sink.
Q:
Would this work for snook fishin ?
Answer: Works awesome for snook fishing.
Answer: Yea any fish that feeds on bait fish, and the light will attract plankton for the bait fish
Q:
I bought one the other year and last year water went inside.
Answer: Water went inside ours too! It was still under warranty and Firewater prorated the price for a new one! So far it is still good! We did not mistreat it! We have had 3. The first one lasted 3 years! We used Loctite sealer around where the wire went in. The second I did not do that and it did not last a year!
Q:
Can I use a 12-volt 80 watt converter to power two of these hooked in parallel?
Answer: That should work fine.
Answer: Hello, yes that should work.
Q:
Can a 200 amp battery is used on this light?
Answer: Its a 12v light a 200 amp battery wiil work
Q:
How many amps does it draw at 12 volts
Answer: Hello, about 2amps. Thank you Martin
Q:
Do you have any new previews on the new and approved model light. They seem to be 2 years old
Answer: Not sure how long it’s been out. But this light is a crappie magnet. Plus we caught 2 spoonbills the same week. One one 47 lbs and countless limits of crappie during the summer bite. Buy it, you won’t regret it!
Q:
If the amperage is 2.5a and voltage is 12vdc, how do we get 50watt of power?
Answer: Hello, actual amp draw should be closer to 5 amps at 12vdc. Thank you.
Answer: You don’t as I used mine 2x and it doesn’t work now
Q:
Do you recommend a certain wall to 12v adapter for my dock or do you have a wall plug unit?
Answer: Hello, Amazon sells several 12v Power Supplies with the female cig plug. A 5amp would be minimal, 10amp would be better. These usually are not water proof so keep them in a dry place.
Answer: I use mine with a battery when I ice fish. Works well
Q:
How well will this light work in a river with strong current?
Answer: I think it would be a waste of time & money. Usually what attracts fish to the light is the bait fish around the light, in a strong river current it doesn't seem likely that bait fish will be strong enough to stay near the light, I don't know of any bait fish strong enough to do that, or that would expend that much energy fighting the current to stay there. What benefit would they get from doing that?
Answer: If the water is not dingy and you have a weight to hold it down it will probably work.
Q:
Do you have this water light is over 28 feet ?
Answer: Hello, the light is rated for upto 10 meters or about 30 ft deep. Though it seems 2 ft works best for fresh water fish.
Q:
how long would it work using 7amp. battery
Answer: About 3.5 hours
Q:
Will this light overheat if not submerged
Answer: Hello, no it doesn't overheat out of the water.
Q:
can weight be added for when the tide is running and how shoould this be done?
Answer: Hello, the light is weighted and sinks. Some people tie weights around the bottom of the light using large rubber bands.
Q:
what gauge is the power wire? I want to extend it longer.
Answer: I think the wire is 10 gauge wire. Not for sure though. The lights do work great though!
Answer: 18 gauge stranded 2conductor alarm cable
Answer: The new lights have the black marine cable, think it is 18awg with solid jacket. Excellent cable.
Q:
Here it is listed as 10,000 lumens. On the firewatermarine website it is listed as 15,000 lumens. Which of these is correct?
Answer: I think the discrepancy is due to the lumen estimate of the 5630 leds. The low estimate is 35 lumens and the high is 50 lumens per led. The Maxx has 300 leds so it would be between 10,000 and 15,000 lumens. 10,000 is a very conservative estimate.
Answer: I think it is 10000
Q:
What is the length
Answer: The Length of WHAT?????
Answer: AMERICAN MADE! Specifications: 1. Color: Green 2. Lamp length: 25 inches
Answer: It says the length on the picture.
Answer: It is almost 25" inches and Contains 300 of the brightest 5630 Leds on the market.
Q:
Can I connect this to a 2.5 battery pack ?
Answer: Hello, it must be 12 volts, and the light will pull probably 2 amps an hour. So if you have a 10amh 12v battery it will last about 5 hours.
Answer: I put mine on a 12 volt off of my. Ice fishing fishfinder. 2.5 may work it’s just led lights. But light works well.
Answer: Has to be a 12v system.
Q:
What type of wire is used? I want to add more length for use at a pier and want to get the same type.
Answer: I just used a decent outdoor extension cord and cut the ends off spliced the light to one end and the clamps to the other end and just used some waterproof silicone and globbed it all around the ends that are spliced to keep water out, works perfectly fine! very inexpensive, good luck!
Q:
Battery clips fell apart after 1 use, are they made stronger now? Yes
Q:
How can I extend the cord length?
Answer: Cut and splice in an extension of wire for both negative and positive wires. Best to spice near alligator clamps and use same gauge of wire or size bigger , example 12 to 12 gauge or 12 to 10 gauge if you are extending a long distance. I found that the cord provided was very generous in length and would not think an extension is necessary unless you have a very big boat.
Q:
What battery do you recommend I use with this product?
Answer: Hello, You can connect this to your boat battery or car battery. For portability we recommend a 7ah 12v rechargeable battery. Amazon sells these for about $20. Thank you.
Answer: I used one of the vehicle jumper cable boost packs and it worked great. You could use a regular car battery or smaller, like a lawn mower battery, and I think those would work even better. Granted they would be a pain to carry around.
Answer: I use a AstroAI Model - ASIACTODT-10 - AC TO DC CONVERTER being I use the light on a dock . The lights don't last very long they get water in them i have Bought 4 green and 1 white they all let water in and go out the last one i bought i put silicone around the top and bottom of the light and it lasted longer . I just went back to using a clamp on 110v lamp maybe not as many fish but a lot less cost and the fishing was not that much better with the green light . The AC-TO-DC Converter is still working which i also use with my 12 v knife . The 12V green or white lights do not last long for what they cost .
Answer: 12 volt car battery
Q:
I've caught a lot of crappie with this light over the past year [awesome product]. Wondering how deep to drop it for the Stripe Bass?
Answer: Ask the local fisherman how deep they are running varies by season and water temperature. Lower light 5 ft above stated depth, fish below light. The Maxx light is rated to handle depths up to 30 meters.
Answer: Normally near the bottom.
Q:
how long will it last with a 8 amp battery
Answer: Hello, the light pulls about 2 amps an hour. So you should get 4-5 hours.
Q:
Has anyone used this light for daytime fishing? Does it work for daytime fishing?
Answer: Would not work for daytime fishing, lights work at night because they attract plankton etc. to the light which draws minnows to eat the plankton, then fish to eat the minnows, light at night also attracts minnows so they can see predators better & avoid them, there would be no reason for plankton or minnows during the daytime to come to the light, the Sun is brighter and it's shining everywhere (except in the shadow of docks, bridges etc.)
Answer: It works great for night time fishing but I never tried it during they day. It is pretty bright though.
Answer: Hello, Ice fisherman use it during the day, as the ice blocks the sun from shining deep into the water.
Q:
how can i get custom order. i want two of the 25 inch lights but with 25 ft of cable each?
Answer: Not sure of that answer!
Q:
Do you just hang it by the cord?
Answer: Yes hang in by cord in to the water, don't use it out of the water , it is designed to use under the water keeps it cool , out the water it will over heat. This is the best fishing light I have ever bought the seller is honest and top quality products, and is completely honest , hard quality to find can't go wrong with fire water Mariana
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: That is the only way to hang it, Unless you make a hook for the light
Answer: yes the cord will hold it just fine, but I tied a safety line to it also
Answer: yes... wrap it around a rail for whatever depth you want....
Q:
Would this light be fine to fix permanently underwater on the edge of my dock?
Answer: No! My first one lasted three or four years. I ordered another one and it is full of water and I’m ready to return it!
Answer: Wouldn't see why not. Probably just let it rest during the day.
Q:
Does this work in saltwater?
Answer: Yes, it works for squid in salt water & other fish are attracted to it also.
Q:
do you make this with white lights?
Answer: Yes we do. At this listing you can choose your color.
Q:
what is the diameter of the light?
Answer: 2" inches in diameter, 25" Inches in Length, Over 2lbs in weight. With a 15' feet of black marine cable.
Answer: It’s about 1.5 inches in diameter, very compact size for the amount of light it puts out. It actually fits beautifully in my Cabelas wind river 4 piece fly rod case for safe storage.
Answer: About a inch and a half
Q:
Double the price?
Answer: Winter sale ended, new sale begins April 22nd. Thank you.
Q:
Per spec. one 5630 led consumes about 0.5 watt (0.15a@2.8-3.4vdc). how is it possible that 300 led's draw only 2.5a ?
Answer: Hello, the 5630 leds have various wattages. Ranging from .1w to .6w. Our leds range from .2-.4w The amp draw should be closer to 5amps
Q:
Is there a way I could hook this up to an outlet?
Answer: Yes, you just need a 12v 5amp power supply. Amazon sells them with the female cigarette adapter already connected for $10.
Answer: Yes, you just need a converter. 110 volt to 12 volt. Radio shack should have one.
Q:
How do I contact firewater marine for warranty service?
Answer: Directly through their site.
Q:
What kind of battery should I use and does it kill a battarey fast ?
Answer: 12v battery, no my battery runs bait tank and light for two days before recharge. The light draws low amps
Q:
How do you get a replacement as mine never worked out of the box. I recieved it as a gift!

Mike : Great light

nathan beneze : Five Stars
As advertised, great light. Tried it in the pool and it lit the whole 36x18 feet up. Can't wait to get it out on the water and fish with it.
Fred Lueck : Five Stars
Great product, arrived on time and ready to go and reasonable price.
dd : excellent product
Used 1 on each side of the boat and they had a huge school of shad circling the entire boat. We caught Crappie and white bass until we ran out of bait. Unbelievable results.
WHK : Perfect Ambiance for Night Swimming!
Purchased for night swimming near our dock and pontoon! Kids (and adults) love the ambiance it creates . . . . Especially under the light of the full. Moon!!
James Earl Grubb : Would recommend. Great light for the cost!
Really liked this light. It was very bright and brought up shad very quick! Only used it once so far with great results!
****update used this light several more times. It still works great and still very satisfied. Actually showed it off to a couple of my angler friends and they have purchased this light also with great satisfaction.
Amazon Customer : OK Night light
Not real bright, needs weight on bottom to keep it down.
patt : Husband loved it.
Worked great. Bright. Got the bait.
TooL4Ever! : Limited Out First Out! Stealth in Drop Light Get Ready!
Prepare your gear and yourself don’t worry about this under water light… its prepared! Stealth your way into an area! Chill for 30 minutes, let things get back to silent night. Ease your light in place, flip the switch! Fish ON!
Tom Vincent : Could be a isolated incident, but stopped working.
Worked for one application then stopped working. Was bright for the 2 hours that I was able to use it. I even covered the seals in Vaseline as to give it extra water protection.
Edie : Worth the entertainment
Works great!
Chris : 2 Inches of Water Already Inside
Purchased May 7, delivered May 10, used 3 times and there was quite a bit of condensation in the light. Now, June 22 and the 6th time in the water, the light has 2 inches of water in the bottom. While the light is extremely bright and worked well, it sure didn't take long to leak. Now to find out how to contact the seller for a replacement or refund since I am inside the 60 day warranty.
Amazon Customer : Great product
Was expecting it to be a bit brighter but it works, baitfish gathered shortly after turning it on, shortly after that the monsters came from the depths to feast!
bill mcnuggets : Great light
it's brighter then most other lights at this price and its good quality. Also nice that it came earlier.
azsunnin : Works great
I bought one late 2016. It worked so well that I wanted one for the other side of the boat in case we had a third person. The second one was damaged in shipping. I sent it back and Firewater sent me a new one with the upgraded LEDs that are even brighter. Great light and great customer service. Two people with 67 fish in three hours using their light. Good times and will definitely buy again if needed.
Justin 033188 : Awsome
Awesome product won’t get caught on my pier without it. with the combination of brush tops and this light. Caught more fish in one night than we ever have before
Mark Jones : Awesome!!
Great Light for fishin. Definitely attraches bait fish. All I can say is Getcha' one and you'll not regret it.
Larissa G. : Works Great!
We love this light! We have a white LED and this green LED. Both work well and we have not noticed a difference between the two but both work great. The latest fishing trip with both lights brought in 100+ white bass.
Wesley Y. : Superb
Very nice light and very bright. Nicely constructed too. It has a nice, long power cord with a high quality cigar plug. I can't wait to see how many fish it attracts.
Xiangdang Z. : The light is not waterproof, water has entered, and now it has only 4/1 brightness.
The water entered after not long after use, and the brightness was half. Now returns are no longer possible, I don’t know how the merchant explains.
Hawgcaller : Quit working after one season
Used about 4 times last season and worked great. Tried it this season and only a couple of little LEDs worked. It was stored all winter in dry spot, just not very durable. The only reason for 3 stars is that I bought two and one is still working, otherwise it would be 1 star.
BigFish : Bright light and priced right
Used for shrimping in FL intercoastal waterway. Gives a good field of view and seems that the green light does not scare as many shrimp as white light that we were using. Green seems easier on the eyes too. Does the same job as the locally made lights while much less expensive.
patt : Husband loved it.
Worked great. Bright. Got the bait.
Sailuk Tulugaq : A Solid product that attracts bait fish like Crazy...and young and old will enjoy watching.
Thank You BledMart for producing such a fine lamp for attracting everyone in the neighborhood. I have bought a new submersible LED Green lamp each and every year due to many sorts of failures after a short amount of use...two months of more. Never has one lamp lasted from one year to the next.
All of these lamps I have owned are used the same way....Alligator Clipped to a 12v Sears Diehard, and hung off of my pier in 2 to 3 feet of water. I drop the lamp in at dark and within 10 minutes all those little zooplankton (Sponge Bob looking things) are buzzing around the lamp like Gnats, but in the water. The little bait fish of all sorts along the Patuxent River in Southern Maryland are all buzzing around too within an hour of nightfall and it is like something from Jacques Cousteau.
The Perch start darting across the large "glow field" that this lamp creates. It draws the curiosity of crabs and large hunter fish like Cats and Rockfish.
The first lamp I recieved from Firewater Marine suffered a short-circuit within the cigarette lighter coupling. My 'return and replacement' was perfect.
Firewater Marine made custom for me a replacement without the cigarette coupler and ti the cable length I so desired. This replacement was scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday of next week...But FWM shipped it pronto and Priority so it was delivered by USPS today, Friday.
Thank You again FWM for making such an excellent fish lamp. But I am not sure who gets the most enjoyment from it...Me or the fishes? Watching all those different little fish and crabs dancing around in unison is Mesmerizing, as I tell my FB friends.
I love your product because of how well it works as advertised and how well you backup your customers. I have company this weekend from NJ, and they will be delighted seeing what your product does.
Quyanakpak!
Walleyeking???? : Fish Magnet!
Awesome light!. I had enough shad in to walk on. Caught crappie stripers white bass catfish drum and a nice walleye first time out.
david e : More than Satisfied
Using on dock along with trees brings more crappie in than just trees! Great product!
Garland Brown : Works like a champ
Works awesome can drop it down 3-5 feet under water and it will light it up several feet. Now if the fish would just bite.,.
Danoutdoorsman : Had some smaller lights that did ok... ...
Had some smaller lights that did ok....hooked this light up and had a HUGE baitball under my boat within an hour. Limited out in crappie in 3 hours (60 fish). Works so well I ordered another one as soon as I got back from the lake!!! Worth every penny!!!
Joseph Tabone : long power cord and shutter froof clear light cover.
Liked the fact that it has a long power cord and shutter proof clear cover. Looking forward to use it for squid fishing.
Amazon Customer : Worked great until it didn’t!
Set up as a semi-permanent installation in a lake by my dock. Plugged into a dusk to dawn timer through a converter. After six weeks in the water, got a pin hole in the plastic and it flooded. The first 10 or so LEDs work so not power or connection. Just watching the water slowly leak out.
Beagl Puppy!! : Great price
Worked Great!!
Gotta Drive'm : Works as Advertised
Finally got a chance to use it and it did not disappoint at all. Worked great and within 15-20 minutes had a huge ball of Shadows surrounding the boat. I would buy this light again.
Steve Hubbard : Great light shipped the same day I ordered too
Great light shipped the same day I ordered too. I put some extra silicone just for back up . Hadn't had any problems . I will probaly order another one I like it so good!
Tom Vincent : Could be a isolated incident, but stopped working.
Worked for one application then stopped working. Was bright for the 2 hours that I was able to use it. I even covered the seals in Vaseline as to give it extra water protection.

Amazon Customer : Great Crappie Light
Exactly what I was looking for, it has been in the water a few times now and very pleased, thinking about getting another one.
mrszee : great purchase
love these things
Benjamin Allen : Great light, great value
My light is the 10k lumen version but puts out an incredible amount of light for how small and compact the light is, I estimate about a 20 ft diameter of good light and definitely brought in the fish and worth every penny. I did do some research beforehand which recommended using aquarium silicon to “double seal” all the joints at bottom and top by the power cord as well as adding a 3 amp inline fuse, which I did but was probably just overkill but worth the little but of time and money for the peace of mind.
david e : More than Satisfied
Using on dock along with trees brings more crappie in than just trees! Great product!
Tom : Thank you
Plan to use it for shrimping in s fla
Anthony Davis : 2
I am going to buy another one

Amazon Customer : Great Crappie Light
Exactly what I was looking for, it has been in the water a few times now and very pleased, thinking about getting another one.
Amazon Customer : Great working light
Great working light, attracts ton of bait fish and after using it a couple times I noticed there was a little bit of water getting in, so contacted the company and they got me a new one on the way hassle free. Great company and product.
Tracy M : 2 lights - both cracked on first use!
This is our 2nd light from this company. Both were defective and cracked the first time they were put in 55-degree water! Look elsewhere!
Saeed H. : very bad choice
It is written that this item produces 10000 lumens. In fact, it is dull and produces about 300 lumens.
Joseph Tabone : long power cord and shutter froof clear light cover.
Liked the fact that it has a long power cord and shutter proof clear cover. Looking forward to use it for squid fishing.
Jake : Jack
The light is very bright, the line is very long, and the quality is very good.
